I so love new indy music. | I understand how absurd you must find it that a musician doesn't know much about the beatles, and doesn't know that song, but until people are introduced to the band and classic rock and whatever else, how are they supposed to know? Someone has to help them, and comments like yours are surely not being of any assistance. There are actually people in this world that are not familiar with all the music that you know about. Who is going to fill them in?? Being rude doesn't help anyone...
Edit: sorry to single you out, I was complaining about TBers in general, but I had to compain!

Someone can respond with a post that makes other people that are "in the know" laugh or whatever, or you could try to help. I admit I did neither, and said nothing helpful to the original poster, but... if you're gonna type something in response to the question you might as well help enlighten someone who obviously needs it. And apparently I'd rather bitch at people than be helpful, so SOMEONE must help him!!
I'm just saying that knowledge must be acquired from somewhere, and if a musician is trying to learn something, even if to me or you the question is silly, it sucks if all the responses are sarcastic and he can't get a straight answer.

| | | | The Beatles' version is on their groundbreaking album called Revolver.
What made this tune 'unique'-
...it was all orchestral + vocals; very different vs. what else was going on in the early daze of the Rock-Pop milieu.
You can search "Eleanor Rigby" at allmusic.com & see many others have covered this moody piece.
I know Rare Earth covered it on their Ecology album(that struck me as 'strange' when I first bought the LP).
Rare Earth's interpretation does have 'standard Rock band instrumentation' vs. The Beatles' version.
