Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go
I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
--The Beatles 'Yesterday'

I love the Beatles of the 90's: OASIS
But I admire the Beatles, too, although I'm not a big supporter of their music. Their songs are pretty simple, but nevertheless they are clever.
My favorite Beatles song is "I am the walrus".:-D
And my second favorite is "You've got to hide you're love away".

Hi,
Yes, their songs are very simple. But the songs can make you recall many things in your past- happy or sad, love or be loved, success or failure.. I love the rhythm. And I also like another old band called 'CARPENTER'. The sound of the girl in the band, I think, is one of the most beautiful sound I've heard. (Another angel's sound is from Sarah Brightman.)

I am a big Beatles fan. I think they are very good for people learning English. You can start with songs that are very simple, like "Can't Buy Me Love," and learn more complex songs as you learn more English. For example, "Blackbird" and "Back in the USSR" don't make sense unless you know American culture very well.
I think this is also true of many famous musicians from the 1960s. Bob Dylan is a good example: A beginning English student could understand his song "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," which is a very famous and very beautiful song. His song "Subterranean Homesick Blues" is also very famous, but it is so fast and full of words that even native English speakers sometimes have trouble understanding it. (In fact, I think if someone can understand that whole song then they should stop studying English, because there can't be anything left for them to learn. )
