Topic: Top 20 Beatles songsPosted By: Wakeman's Birotron
Subject: Top 20 Beatles songs
Date Posted: January 26 2015 at 23:05
Well, I'm sure a topic like this one has been done before, but as I can't seem to find it, I'd like to see which Beatles song you guys prefer.
So, among the rich discography of the Fab Four, try and choose just twenty! (I tried ten, but it was impossible). Mine would go like this:
1 - A Day in the Life
2 - Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight / The End
3 - Strawberry Fields Forever
4 - Tomorrow Never Knows
5 - You Never Give Me Your Money
6 - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
7 - I Am the Walrus
8 - Rain
9 - I'm Only Sleeping
10 - In My Life
11 - Something
12 - I Want You (She's so Heavy)
13 - Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
14 - Flying
15 - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
16 - Here Comes the Sun
17 - Lady Madonna
18 - And Your Bird Can Sing
19 - Get Back
20 - Blue Jay Way
Honorable mentions to:
-With a Little Help From my Friends
-Within You Without You
-Hey Jude
-It's All Too Much
-Nowhere Man
-Eleanor Rigby
-Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

I'm no expert but I like them very much. I enjoy a lot of musique concréte n' stuff but never cared much for Revolution 9. Infact I rather listen to Bungalow Bill & Rocky Raccoon.

6 Paperback Writer
7 I Am the Walrus

Because it appeared on a Beatles album, it was heard by more people than had ever heard musique concrète before - many of whom went on to be the next generation of experimental musicians and sound artists. It's also very good to listen to, in my opinion.

Well they can't both be the real thing. I've just listened to the first one and I don't hear "Lennon and McCartney screaming dementedly and bawling aloud random phrases like 'Are you alright?' and 'Barcelona!" as it says on Wikepedia.
Let's try the second one.

Let's try the second one.
The latter of the two comes closest to Lewisohn's desription in The Beatles Recording Sessions:
"Track one of the tape was full of distorted, hypnotic drum and organs sounds; track two had a distorted lead guitar; track three had the sounds of a church organ, various effects (the gargling with water was one) and voices; track four featured various indescribaable sound effects with heaps of tape echo and manic tambourine. But of all the frightening sounds it was the voices on track three which really set the scene, John and Paul screaming dementedly and bawling aloud random phrases like 'Are you alright?' and 'Barcelona*. Paul terminated the proceedings after almost 14 minutes with one final shout up to the control room: 'Can we hear it back now?'".
But I 'avant garde a clue, really.

It's probably been a good 5 years since I last heard anything Beatles related...maybe 7
Still love A Day In The Life though. I know it by heart so I rarely need to refresh my memory. Pretty obvious choice on a prog forum, but it's always been my fave of theirs (John's).

Of course I haven't heard it. But the descriptions of it easily put it way up there among my favourite Beatles songs (incidentally, I prefer the mono version of Revolution 9 over the better-known stereo version). If I hadn't heard the 1966 & 1967 Christmas flexis I would still love them just from reading detailed descriptions of their contents. And even though the above 14-minute things are fakes, I also like that several people have just listened to a bunch of weird sh*t just because you queried an item on my list

There ought to be an album compiling all the fake Carnival of Light songs that people created after reading McCartney's description. Even invite more people to have a go at it. I bet the resulting album would be pretty cool.

I bought it recently - I hadn't seen it since it was theatrically released - and was curious to see what i'd think of it now .. there are a lot of interesting musicians on it and I freaking love Paul Nicholas's singing in this.

John also said in the Playboy interview something along the lines that it was he and Paul; the other two blokes could have been anybody. Right! And long before Abby Road, John had turned into quite the malcontent as far back as the second U.S. tour. I don't think he liked much of anything after Sgt. Pepper's', so I don't give him much credence, no matter what kind of genius he may have been. Don't get me wrong-love that voice! By the way, he was said not to favor the Abby Road medley, either.

what's so special about Revolution 9? I saw it a several lists.
Because it appeared on a Beatles album, it was heard by more people than had ever heard musique concrète before - many of whom went on to be the next generation of experimental musicians and sound artists. It's also very good to listen to, in my opinion.
It IS very good to listen to. When I was younger, before my obsession with prog, I was just getting into music with The Beats and I discovered Revolution 9. I would always talk about how weird it was and judged it by listening to it many times, but secretly, I was in love and couldn't stop listening to it.
1. I am the Walrus 2. Strawberry Fields Forever 3. Abby Road Melody 4. Hey Jude 5. A Day in the Life 6. Tommarow Never Knows 7. All You Need Is Love 8. Revolution 9 9. I Want You (She's So Heavy) 10. Within You Without You 11. Helter Skelter 12. Hey Bulldog 13. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds 14. Eleanor Rigby 15. Hello Goodbye 16. Norweigen Wood 17. Hello Goodbye 18. Oh! Darling 19.
