"Free As A Bird" and "Real Love" were just fine.

> "Tattoo" is brilliant
A lot of what makes 60s albums so great is that the fey songs are right next to the slammers and the experiments. Maybe, even as they were forming the idea of the concept album, they didn't worry so much about the album as a unified thing. A statement. We're worse off for it.

The Anthology version of Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da is terrific, much better than the officially released version.
I really like the Anthology-era B-side remix of Yellow Submarine with all the sound effects boosted up; it shows what a gem of day-glo pop-art proto-psychedelic whimsy it is!

No problem with the top two at all.

I don't get at all why All You Need Is Love is on this poll. But yeah, I can understand why people wouldn't like the first two.
LAWR never stuck out to me (naked or otherwise). But Maxwell's Silver Hammer has such awesome early Moog on it. I'm a sucker for analog synth.

my dad, the other day: "I heard this Beatles song on the radio this morning I'd never heard before. It was about this lad that kept killing people but it was, you know, quite jolly. Quite clever. I liked it."
