Title: Your favorites of these songs by the Beatles - Part II
Post by: KevShmev on January 11, 2018, 08:31:53 PM
You can vote for up to 7.

This was extremely difficult again, but I went with:

In My Life
Rain
No Reply
You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
Nowhere Man
We Can Work It Out
And I Love Her

Twist and Shout
We Can Work It Out
In My Life
Yesterday
Help!
You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
A Hard Day's Night

Found this one harder than the other list. Many more songs here I like equally. And where was Hey Jude?

Agreed. Anyways, here are my picks:
We Can Work It Out - love the meter shifts.
In My Life - all about that keyboard solo!
I Feel Fine - I really love Ringo's drumming and the vocals are pretty great too.
No Reply - LOVE the bridge.
Nowhere Man - a classic, grew up with it from the Yellow Submarine film.
Rain - This song just has a great vibe and feeling to it, and again, I like what Ringo does with this one.
Ticket To Ride - I love drumming to this song, Ringo's change of the beat really spices things up halfway through the tune.

My love for Ringo's drumming definitely shone in my picks this time. Lots of great songs in this batch, though. I suspect a third and possibly fourth batch in the future?

-Marc.

In some ways, that was even more difficult than Part I. SO many good songs. It breaks my heart that I left some of my favorites from the choices off too.

We Can Work It Out (Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend. Good GOD this song is amazing.)
In My Life (I've always had a special place in my softie heart for this one.)
Do You Want to Know a Secret (I'll say it again - George was SO underrated. Love this one, and IMO this is one of the true gems from the early stuff.)
No Reply (UGH. So good.)
Rain (Classic, classic song. Classic Beatles harmonies too.)
Drive My Car (Yes, I'm gonna be a star.. Great song.)
Day Tripper (Another classic.)

Songs that I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally wanted to vote for but couldn't:  Help!, Nowhere Man, You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, A Hard Day's Night (anyone who hasn't seen this movie really should - it's hysterical, and just a really fun time), The Night Before, Ticket to Ride. I still really dig the Help! soundtrack, and sad that I just couldn't vote for all of those songs in the poll.

Only voted for two here, Yesterday and Help!

I feel like Paperback Writer is one glaring omission here. I would certainly have voted for that had it been here.

In My Life
Michelle
She Loves You
Help!
Nowhere Man
I Want to Hold Your Hand

No Reply also almost got a vote from me, just because of that bridge.  ;)

I'm looking forward to the part III.

Agreed on Paperback Writer.  When my brother and I were kids, he used to sing "Guy who writes books" instead of "paperback writer."  I still find it kinda funny, especially when you try to sing the staggered harmony vocals. :biggrin:

This one was a little easier than the last one.  I chose

We Can Work It Out
In My Life
I Feel Fine
Nowhere Man
Rain
Hard Day's Night
Day Tripper

Some of the softer, very early stuff (All My Loving, And I Love Her, etc.) is a little "meh" to me.

Again, tough.

Yesterday
I Feel Fine
Do You Want To Know A Secret
She Loves You
Nowhere Man
The Night Before
Ticket To Ride

Man, these guys had a LOT of good songs, and a shit load of hits.

Well, I couldn't include everything, but after posting the poll and looking at the song choices again, Paperback Writer and You're Gonna Lose That Girl were the two that made me think, "They probably should have been on there."
