Confusing those two sounds might be why you confuse Shakin’ Stevens with Elvis.

Disagree. Loads of absolutely brilliant songs with some filler, like most of their career.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑13 Nov 2020, 10:02pmBeatles For Sale and Help! sound like transition pieces, somewhere between the teeny bop band they were and the genre-pushing artists they were going to be. It's not that the songs are bad—just to be clear, c'mon, it's the fucking Beatles—but there's so little that stands out to me, unlike with PPM and AHDN or RS and R, because the material is neither that beautiful pop nor that really developed songwriting. It suffers in comparison with what bookends.Heston wrote: ↑13 Nov 2020, 9:40pmHard disagree, I think side one is excellent. Side two is patchy but they were on an insane schedule. I actually think Rubber Soul has its share of average songs too.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑13 Nov 2020, 9:08pmI'll be honest: Nothing on Side B is especially appealing to me (within a Beatles context, of course; not popular music more generally). And the album as a whole is mostly a shrug for me. There's some historic importance, with a turn to more folkish/mature concerns, but it's at best a warm-up for the next leap forward of Rubber Soul.

Re: Help! - Side B - Round 3
I just googled "Billy Ray Cyrus genre" and "Buck Owens genre", both came up with the big heading, COUNTRY MUSIC. So forgive me for missing some of the finer points, but it all sounds like Country to me.

Both Led Zeppelin and the La’s are rock music, so yeah they must share a huge fanbase.
