Your 3 Best and worst Beatles songs? - RainbowTurnedEastStand - 13-11-2015 Just thought this topic needed sorting after watching that pile of crap the other night when the likes of Hey Jude and Yesterday were voted best Beatles songs, iam guessing the poll was from a load of clueless Sun readers. 3 best: Strawberry Fields Forever A Day In The Life Rain 3 Worst: Back In The USSR Yellow Submarine Yesterday RE: Your 3 Best and worst Beatles songs? - talkSAFT - 13-11-2015 I like your best 3, Rainbow. You should have asked for 10 Best & Worst, because it's such a vast catalogue, and it depends what mood you're in. Today at 3pm my Best are:- I'm Only Sleeping Baby It's You In My Life Worst are:- O Bla Di Your Mother Should Know Octopus's Garden ("Yellow Submarine" must be everyone's worst, but we all used to sing "We all live at the Brummie Road End" back in the day. Ha) RE: Your 3 Best and worst Beatles songs? - aries22 - 13-11-2015 Yesterday is one of the most covered songs in music history, it's been performed over 7 million times, it was voted the best song of the 20th century by a BBC2 radio poll, and it was voted the best pop song of all time by MTV and Rolling Stone magazine.

It was a homage to the ska sound which was just starting to make the airwaves in this country: "Desmond" is a nod to Desmond Dekker, and "Molly" was Millie Small of My Boy Lollipop fame. I don't know of any other band who pre-empted them in copying that sound, so you can legitimately argue that Obla Di Obla Da is the first instance of blending British pop with Jamaican ska/reggae; a tradition which ended up influencing damn near every band worth listening to for the next forty-odd years RE: Your 3 Best and worst Beatles songs? - Arcane Astral Aeons - 13-11-2015 was never a fan of the Beatles overrated in my book but they did knock out some half decent tunes best 3 Hey Jude A Day In The Life Back In The USSR Worst 3 Love Me Do I Wanna Hold Your Hand Yellow Submarine RE: Your 3 Best and worst Beatles songs? - silverbaggie - 13-11-2015 Best 3:- Hey Jude With a little help from my friends (esp. the Joe Cocker version) Penny Lane. Worst 3 Yellow Submarine (inevitably) I am the Walrus. ( what the h##l was that all about) Come together.

Go back about 3 years earlier, though, and "She's a Woman" had the hint of Bluebeat about it, about the same time as Millie. This morning my Top 3 are:- Old Brown Shoe Something Within You Without You RE: Your 3 Best and worst Beatles songs? - Ska'dForLife-WBA - 14-11-2015 Just listened to She's A Woman, and it sounds a lot more like New Orleans R&B to me; which, of course, is what bluebeat originated from! I suppose they were just completing the triangle there. RE: Your 3 Best and worst Beatles songs? - aries22 - 14-11-2015 My best three are Penny Lane, Eleanor Rigby and Here Comes the Sun. Their best three covers are Act Naturally, Roll Over Beethoven and Words of Love. |
