 Topic: Make your own Beatles album!Posted: June 10 2019 at 13:53 |

Time to play everyone's favorite game, " Make your own ------ album", ( hey , indulge me here please
 ) This time I thought we would try The Beatles. You get to pick 8 Beatles tracks to go on your own compilation album. The one rule is you can only use one track form each existing album. Pick for any 8 albums you like. Don't worry about song length, just pick 8 songs. Here Goes... 1. Things we Said Today 2. The Night Before 3. Norwegian Wood 4. Got to Get You in to My Life. 5. A Day in the Life 6. Blackbird 7. Here Come's the Sun 8. Let it Be |

Here’s mine before everyone comes in with the deep cuts!
Penny Lane I Saw Her Standing There She Loves You Day Tripper Eleanor Rigby When I’m Sixty-Four Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da Something If two of the above are from the same album, substitute “Get Back.” |

2. Norwegian Wood 3. Eleanor Rigby 4. Dear Prudence 5. I Want You (She's So Heavy) 6. Blue Jay Way 7. All You Need is Love 8. A Day in the Life *Did not appear on a studio album; nevertheless it fits on such a compilation, methinks.

Despite being a big Beatles fan, it is actually not so difficult to make an album this time. Here I go: And I Love Her Yesterday Norwegian Wood Eleanor Rigby A Day In the Life I Am the Walrus Hey Jude Something (The latter might be relaced by Come Together, or I could replace Yesterday with Help!)

For the Beatles, I believe it should have been more than 8 songs, since their songs are mostly shorter, 8 ones will make for a very short compilation.
- And I love her. - Yesterday. - Norwegian Wood. - Eleanor Rigby. - A day in the Life. - Hey Jude. - While my guitar gently weeps. - Here comes the Sun. - Let it be. And once again I couldn't keep it in the 8 songs mark, just had to go with 9. |

I’m genuinely surprised no one has mentioned “Tomorrow Never Knows.” Too much competition on Revolver, I guess. But it’s one of their proggiest imo.

I’m not very fond of the Beatles but love this one. I guess something like Helter Skelter Lucy In The Sky It’s All Too Much Strawberry Fields Tomorrow Never Knows |

So hard that I won't try. So many are perfect just like they are.

1) I Am the Walrus 2) Something 3) Tomorrow Never Knows 4) A Day in the Life 5) Nowhere Man 6) Across the Universe 7) While My Guitar Gently Weeps 8) It's All Too Much There's a ridiculous concentration of good songs on Rubber Soul and Revolver. Bench: Ticket to Ride - In My Life - I'm Only Sleeping - Fool on the Hill - Revolution 9 - Only a Northern Song - When I'm Sixty-Four - Let It Be Stunning things like Penny Lane, If I Needed Someone, Strawberry Fields etc. don't even make the bench. But eight Beatles songs rather make an EP only, whereas for Pink Floyd they make a double CD...

I thought this would be really tough but when I started thinking about my absolute favorite Beatles songs it wasn't nearly as hard I thought. Eight Days A Week Day Tripper Ticket To Ride Eleanor Rigby Tomorrow Never Knows A Day In the Life I Am The Walrus Come Together These didn't make the top cut but they would be included if we were building a double album Two Of Us I've Got A Feeling I Want You (She's So Heavy) When I'm Sixty-Four Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da Roll Over Beethoven Get Back The Abbey Road Medley starting with 'You Never Give Me Your Money' and ending with 'The End'. Got to Get You Into My Life I would also include what I consider to be the "lost" Beatles tune, Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, which might as well be a Beatles song because it sounds EXACTLY like one and is composed of song bits that Paul wrote while in the Beatles

"Tomorrow Never Knows" is amazing, but almost everything on Revolver would be fit for the album. There are also "Taxman", "She Said She Said", "For No One", and even "Yellow Submarine" (I know some people despise it, but for me it is genious).

It's a very progressive song in its historical context... But in my opinion it hasn't aged very well. Strip out the effects and tape noises, and the song itself is quite dull to me. Anyways, here's my list: 1. I Want To Hold Your Hand 2. All My Loving 3. If I Fell 4. Baby's In Black 5. Yesterday 6. You Won't See Me 7. And Your Bird Can Sing 8. I Want You (She's So Heavy) I suppose I would have had a different list if I had worked backwards, probably including: I Me Mine Happiness Is A Warm Gun Strawberry Fields Forever A Day In The Life I guess since Yellow Submarine was also the title track of its own album we can count that, even though it's also on Revolver? Either that, or It's All Too Much I regret nothing though, those early pop tunes are prime.

Not a Beatle fan, so it's pretty easy for me to pick the one song per album I would put on a compilation.

I found this one much more difficult than picking a cool mix of Yes/G/PF. I'm stuck.

On Tomorrow Never Knows:
Had this come out in 2019 I'd still have thought "This is freakin' great". So groovy. And sorry, the sounds are essential part of it. If you take them away you have something completely different. Almost like Tangerine Dream Zeit or Phaedra played on solo acoustic guitar.
