Nice idea niels!

So long as we're on Flaming Pie, I added "Beautiful Night," which is a little cheeseball but was probably my favorite song on that album when it came out.

(what's the etiquette for this kind of thing? any appropriate limit of 'x tracks per person per album' or whatever? i could sit and add fifty tracks in the next twenty minutes but don't want to blot out the community vibe!)

noel gallaghah's high flying burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb (Doctor Casino), Sunday, 13 May 2018 16:48 (six years ago) link

I was thinking of going through the thread to add all tracks mentioned

I think maybe add tracks you're thinking about voting for, stuff you want to highlight?

niels, Sunday, 13 May 2018 20:42 (six years ago) link

I watched the doc about the making of Flaming Pie and Beautiful Night really bangs still, and Macca is massively cheesy.

Great mix of Macca solo stuff here: https://www.nts.live/shows/radio-jiro/episodes/radio-jiro-30th-april-2018

Never heard Goodnight Tonight before - absolutely love it

in twelve parts (lamonti), Sunday, 13 May 2018 20:54 (six years ago) link

Beautiful Night is a great composition but the Flaming Pie version really sings, above the older demo, with the presence of Ringo on drums and backing vocals. Always a pleasure.

Speaking of Ringo... what're the great tracks there? As a teenager, I read in some record guide (or maybe a Beatles collectibles price guide - my mom dealt antiques) that his first couple solo albums were surprisingly consistent, enjoyable country-western exercises .... but I swear all I've ever seen in the bins are endless copies of Stop And Smell The Roses, Ringo's Rotogravure, Goodnight Vienna, and the hideous Blast From Your Past comp. I've owned the latter two and there's some pleasant, genially inessential but friendly and warm material, kinda basically what I would have wanted out of Ringo post-Beatles. "It Don't Come Easy" is a killer George single. His cover of Roger Miller's "Husbands and Wives" is nice, as is the similarly hangdog "Beaucoups of Blues.". His "You're Sixteen" is a great rendition, shame the song is so gross, but it's probably the best any of them did with that early 70s wave of sock-hop throwbacks. The blowsier "I've partied my voice off with Keith Moon" material ("Goodnight Vienna," "I'm The Greatest," "Back off Boogaloo") makes me smile even if it kinda feels like you had to be there. And " No No Song" - sorry, Alfred! - is a totally charming, stupid Hoyt Axton novelty... like it comes into focus that the millions buying Ringo 45s likely overlapped a great deal with the fans of Jim Stafford, Ray Stevens, and Jimmy Buffett. I like that as a fate for an ex-Beatle, just another humorous AM radio act. Plus Nilsson's lightness on the "ay, ay ay" stuff is a nice vocal foil for our boy.

OK, and "Wrack My Brain" does get in my head sometimes, but oh mannn it's lousy.

Also mannnn the credits on Ringo albums are just a maze of appearances by the other Beatles, songs they wrote for him, songs they wrote *and* recorded for him... seems like despite all the acrimony everybody liked Ringo and vice versa. You almost get the sense from Wikipedia that if legal/drug issues hadn't kept Paul out of the US when the self-titled album was being recorded, that you might have actually gotten a song with all four of them. Macca plays the fucking kazoo on "You're Sixteen" - the only time he and Nilsson were on the same track, I think. (Are Nilsson and Klaus Voormann the only person to have appeared on songs with all four solo Beatles?)

Yoko Ono tracks that John plays on

by 1968 Yoko Ono was as much a part of the band as any of them. in fact by playing with Ringo and John on her tracks, her material ironically has more Beatles playing on it than were on Beatles songs by this time. the last 2 years had everybody do solo stuff. after Abbey Road George was free to work on his own material for once and produce an amazing album. Paul took a vacay on a farm w his fam and made a stoned 4 track diy record. the other half of the Beatles had already started a noise band and were playing for a good year before the Beatles official broke up.

before Abbey Road was even out they had put together a krautrock band focusing on drone rock minimalism and catharsis with "Cold Turkey" and "Don't Worry Kyoko" (the latter possibly the punkest thing the Beatles ever did). working on this music was Yoko, John, Ringo, Klaus Voorman (German art student/designer of Revolver/bassist), and at one point Alan White, who was the session musician originally brought in to replace Ringo for their very first single ever "Love Me Do". Ringo ended up replacing him, in a weird twist of fate.

i absolutely adore the "Give Peace a Chance" b-side "Remember Love". this should have been on the White Album.

"You and Me (Babe)" is my favorite song on Ringo. Great George Harrison composition.

(Are Nilsson and Klaus Voormann the only person to have appeared on songs with all four solo Beatles?)

Bobby Keys maybe, if he also played on "You're Sixteen", because that would have been his one shot w/Paul.

Making Plans For Sturgill (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 14 May 2018 02:06 (six years ago) link

Checking the credits on my Ringo best of, and apparently Keys is not on "You're Sixteen".

He probably is on A Toot and A Snore w/John & Paul, but that's a boot.

there are some great tracks on Stop And Smell The Roses (which seems to have recently been removed from spotify? Old Wave is not on there either). I really like this Stephen Stills song, the laid-back, blissed out vibe reminds me a bit of Gone Troppo

I have only just "discovered" "The Other Me" on "Pipes of Peace" (I was never really interested in Macca's 80s albums...).
I love its smooth synth mood and the melody is great (also the lyrics are nice and not silly for a 40yo man).

AlXTC from Paris, Monday, 14 May 2018 10:12 (six years ago) link

That version of Stop and Smell the Roses that was on Spotify sounded horrible!

I listened to Traveling Wilburys vol 1 for the first time this morning! Kinda bleh on the whole but I liked a couple of them! The handing off of vocals on “handle with care” is kinda silly but by my second listen I was still singing along

Is there a list of all eligible tracks? I see Outic posted Lennon’s but I need one for each Beatle to make my final list and not fuck up the format.

Mccartney might be the one with the overall most interesting solo work.

Are Nilsson and Klaus Voormann the only person to have appeared on songs with all four solo Beatles?

Keith Moon (as "Keif Spoon") is on Some Time In New York City, and he and Ringo are pretty smashed on a couple of Two Sides Of The Moon tracks (none of which I can justify shoehorning into my ballot). He was supposed to play on Paul's "Rockestra Theme," but died a month before the session (Kenney Jones took his place).

you better include his contribution to Belinda Carlisle's "Leave a Light On."

take this, for example, which I had never heard of before today. George is all over this album, they were signed to his label etc.

damn, you're putting in some work shakey!

chilis=lyrics...hypocrits (sic), Monday, 14 May 2018 19:47 (six years ago) link

The lists gave me a wah-wah!

morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 14 May 2018 19:50 (six years ago) link

Good work, Shakey! There's quite a few things in the Harrison list that I haven't yet heard...

McCartney'll be the hardest: solo, plus Wings, Paul McCartney & Wings, Paul & Linda McCartney, The Fireman, Percy "Thrills" Thrillington, his classical stuff, and the number of guest appearances and one-offs and other pseudonyms.

Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Monday, 14 May 2018 19:57 (six years ago) link

Urban Spaceman at no. 1, obviously

Οὖτις, Monday, 14 May 2018 20:19 (six years ago) link

The John list missed "Walking on thin ice"

Mark G, Monday, 14 May 2018 20:19 (six years ago) link

Oh fuck, I forgot that he'd produced that Bonzo's track! Obviously, there's the stuff with Mary Hopkin and Badfinger etc.

Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Monday, 14 May 2018 20:27 (six years ago) link

xp no it didn't, it's 10th from the beginning of the list

sleeve, Monday, 14 May 2018 20:29 (six years ago) link

I almost want to redo my already sent ballot...

Mark G, Monday, 14 May 2018 20:30 (six years ago) link

Xpost so it is. OK, "It happened" the b-side

Mark G, Monday, 14 May 2018 20:32 (six years ago) link

As much as I'm tempted to submit a ballot of my 100 favourite McCartney songs, I'd only be lying to myself if I didn't vote for my favourite Lennon and Harrison tracks. I couldn't not vote for 'Cold Turkey', for example.
