Doctor Robert is great - has the drumless, slowed-down "well well well you're feeling fine" bridge, ringing guitar breaks, beautiful harmonies, hilarious lyrics about acid.

Voting Yellow Submarine, which is fun but really pretty stupid

But these polls are like "vote for the worst flavor of ice cream" and for the most part, replies are like "uh chocolate b/c once I had it when I was a kid and I vomited later that night". There's just not that much bad to say (except for "Dizzy Miss Lizzy", that one deserves it).

I like Yellow Submarine fine but sonically its pretty pedestrian (most fun thing is probably the tape collage of sound effects/dialogue in the middle). Its a children's song, and not an exceptionally clever one, but its nice enough.

"I'm Only Sleeping" -> "Love You To" -> "Here, There and Everywhere" is like a triple-whammy of suck. I think the fact that this sequence comes so early in the track listing is one reason I've never been able to get into "Revolver" as much as some other Beatles albums.

"For No One" isn't that good, a bit like a crappy cousin of "Eleanor Rigby". Still an ace album, and some of the songs I dismissed before have totally been saved by the remaster (like GTGYIML).

― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 22 September 2009 21:13 (3 years ago) Permalink

I don't think there are any pistachio pickle flavored songs on here, or really on any albums.

See, for me, this is where McCartney starts to become a menace. Apart from "Eleanor Rigby," every single one of his songs here gives me a tummy ache. Even Harrison bests him, esp. in the funk dept. with "Taxman." I'm voting for "Good Day Sunshine" which makes me thinks he invented Adult Contemporary (although points for mentioning my 2nd fave album of all-time).

By contrast, I adore every single John here (save for maybe "I'm Only Sleeping" which is, duh, a bit sleepy), esp. "And Your Bird Can Sing" (which Adorno would've loved; hell, it might even be about Adorno) and "Tomorrow Never Knows" (which augured a disco-psych/prog fusion that never really come to pass).

― should probably be practising shorthand (country matters), Tuesday, 22 September 2009 21:20 (3 years ago) Permalink

even though I love it, "Good Day Sunshine" seems the slightest song here.

"I Want To Tell You" is possibly my fave George song of all time and may have overtaken "I'm Only Sleeping" as my Revolver fave, though like another personal Beatles fave "Julia" is a bit lo-fi considering other tracks on the album. sequence-wise the final 3 songs go together perfectly and seem the most Revolver-y part besides the bracing mindfuck of the first 4 songs - what must that have sounded like in '66?!

Revolver's my fave Beatles LP. seems the most unimpeachable (followed by A Hard Day's Night) - practically the template for a perfect experimental pop album.

Couldn't finish reading this thread it was getting me so crazy! This album is McCartney's peak- For No One is incredibly beautiful and moving and Here, There, and Everywhere is just perfect in every way, especially the harmonies and that little anxious guitar part in the bridge. Paul even took the time to write some great lyrics! Both make my Beatles' top ten.

Lennon's songs are all great as well and George's Love You To is his first and best Indian song. I dig I Want to Tell You too but it kinda drags at times.

Overall, this was an easy choice for me, it's the Ringo one again despite the fact that it's supposedly a Lennon-McCartney-Donovan! composition. It just doesn't fit on the album and would have worked much better if it just appeared as the flipside to the Eleanor Rigby single.

The only bad thing about "Love You To" is that it's called "Love You To" even though George sings "I'll make LOVE TO YOU." Like they had a typo when they submitted the tracklisting to EMI.
