baffled by the love for it to be honest. the only version I've ever really rated is the Faces cover.

I'm voting for the Unplugged version of "That Would Be Something" - will you lump that in with the studio version or is it counted separately?
this is technically a live version so it's not eligible
I voted for "maybe I'm amazed" but yeah I was thinking of the Faces cover more than the original tbh

thanks Shakes for informing me of the Faces version but: nah

they were just able to do it with more swing and muscle, and Rod's voice is a great match for the sentiment

I know this is useless fantasy football but without the Beatles Paul might have been a well regarded kinda quirky artist like Randy Newman, John could've still been a rock star
― niels, Friday, 1 June 2018 18:23 (six years ago) link
nah he's too much of a ham. not randy newman, elton john tho
― flappy bird, Friday, 1 June 2018 18:24 (six years ago) link
has he really got the pathos for that though?
― niels, Friday, 1 June 2018 18:25 (six years ago) link
of course!
― flappy bird, Friday, 1 June 2018 18:26 (six years ago) link
definitely a ham, and a cutesy showboat w ambition and an uncanny melodic sense so he def would have gone somewhere w out John

first pass culling from the big lists near the top of the thread - - got it to 174 songs! surely the rest of this won't take too long at all....

I think you might be taking this a little too seriously. maybe.
haha i just cut and pasted in everything from the lists posted to thread and deleted everything i couldn't imagine ever voting for. now i'm just doing the standard quick-pass "assign this to tiers 1-4" deal to discover that, indeed, tiers 1-3 already come to about 100, so there are dozens of things in group 4 that will never have a chance and there's no point trying to rank them. fare thee well, "Wrack My Brain."

listen, having gone through it already, you're going to have to let go of a lot of crucial wings songs

though i regret not voting for "big barn bed" higher, you were right about that one doc casino

is anybody else besides Doc C still working on a ballot?
― Οὖτις, Friday, 1 June 2018 21:08 (six years ago) link
I tried to put one together, but really struggled. If I did submit one, it'd be 100 songs - I just can't decide which 100.

just putting some final polish on and then i can go eat dinner
the ranking is completely insane and i think if i started over there would be almost no correspondence with this list but it's also a list of 100 solo beatles songs i really like so that's fine by me
― noel gallaghah's high flying burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb (Doctor Casino), Friday, 1 June 2018 22:08 (six years ago) link
100 tracks, SENT!
the preponderance of Paul tracks and impossibility of really considering every song in relation to every other means that i had a few big chunks of consecutive and nearly alphabetical Paul surviving from the first round of compiling the list... but i mean generally speaking they're all kinda in the right part of the list so whatever. stoked for the results on this.
― noel gallaghah's high flying burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb (Doctor Casino), Friday, 1 June 2018 22:12 (six years ago) link
I have absolutely no idea what to expect here, especially since there’s been a lot of badmouthing of the most popular and acclaimed tracks going on

in the end I did not vote for that frog choir song since it is a bad song but I do hope it will place since it made me laugh every time it came on shuffle

― Alba, Saturday, 2 June 2018 15:56 (six years ago) link
Was listening to Somewhere in England again last night and glad to have found a new friend. It doesn't have anything as tight as "Blow Away," but is probably about as substantial an album as the self-titled in the end. Not sure that it would have been better in its original form with the four songs that were left off, but glad they're using the original album cover now! Lots to like and I think the two songs that I had probably liked the least before, "Unconsciousness Rules" and "That Which I Have Lost," are both nice in their own way as compositions. The tuba in the latter is a gas.
