In Harrison's defense, the top marginal rate was over 90%.

Eleanor Rigby would be better with the poetry for 16 year olds.
That's actually high praise for McCartney's lyrics.

Are you going to live blog the entire album. Listening to mono or stereo?

Doctor Robert is a truly awful song.  I'm afraid it's going to get stuck in my head. :'(
It's pretty bad.

Dr. Robert, he's a man you must believe
Helping everyone in need,
No one can succeed like Dr. Robert
Well, well, well you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you--Dr. Robert

Tell her you're doing it for a guy on the internet. That will explain everything.

First lyrics off of the album:

Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home
Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Just saying.

Dammit Malek, way to nitpick

Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower freeze
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze
I can't find my knees"
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so crue
------Visions of Johanna


With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace,
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace,
And your basement clothes and your hollow face,
Who among them can think he could outguess you?
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims,
And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns,
Who among them would try to impress you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Should I leave them by your gate,
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
--------Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands

Wrong! A Hard Day's Night is their first good album; Rubber Soul is their first great album.

A Day in the Life is the best Beatles song ever, double truth.

Jeff Beck's cover of it during the 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert is pretty cool, too.

Wrong again. The only thing that comes close filler on that album is Boys. I love Ringo, but the song just isn't up to snuff with the rest. Please Please Me is also very memorable. The 'covers' are excellent.

I have it on vinyl, btw. :rock

I think the inability to admit that Please Please Me has some shitty songs is another sign of autism.

Ringo rocks on "Boys" and the song is pretty gay (in a good way [evilbore gay]).

The following songs range from mediocre to shitty: "Misery," "Anna (Go to Him)," "Chains," "Ask Me Why," "Baby it's You," and "A Taste of Honey."

I'm going to trust Malek on this one

I trusted the critics on this one, and as usual I'm glad I did (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:difrxzlsldfe). No mention of my favorites unfortunately.


"As the songs rush past, it's easy to get wrapped up in the sound of the record itself without realizing how the album effectively summarizes the band's eclectic influences." Translation: the songs suck, but they're important to historians because they display which genres influenced the Beatles.

PeeDee is wrong. Revolver is just as good as any other random Beatles album.

Taxman - Great
Eleanor Rigby - Great
I'm Only Sleeping - Amazing
Love You To - Amazing
Here, There and Everywhere - Amazing
Yellow Submarine - This is actually one of my favorites. Even a lot of Beatles don't like this, but they are bitches I tell you. Good songs don't need to be complex, layered with all kinds of shit. This is song very memorable. McCartney's singing is great.
She Said She Said - This is one of those mind-blowing Lennon songs. Love it.
Good Day Sunshine - Amazing
And Your Bird Can Sing - Great. I don't really get what this song is about though. :-\
For No One - Amazing. McCartney proves he is as amazing as Lennon here, IMO.
Doctor Robert - This song is good shit. "You're a new and better man, he helps you to understand..." is so memorable.
I Want to Tell You - Another great song. I love the guitar here... Although I'll be honest, I'm not completely keen on George's voice here.
Got to Get You into My Life - Amazing.
Tomorrow Never Knows Mind-blowing.

all bolded songs are bad to meh
