fame and won't back down are obviously great songs but i'd much rather a couple more actual solo beatles tracks sneak into the 99th and 100th spots

808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Monday, 4 June 2018 17:25 (six years ago) link

Ringo's in the video, but that's Phil Jones playing on the track.

There's something eerie about the sleeves to 'Give Peace a Chance' and 'Cold Turkey' ...

can't remember if i voted for c moon or if it was one of my final cuts, but it like it. charming nonsense.

"When We Was Fab" is one of my least favorite Harrisingles – something about the nostalgia clashes with his nature, producing a tentative song

morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 4 June 2018 17:33 (six years ago) link

Man let it roll is the best Harrison song ever

very nice job with everything shakey. good run of songs... except for "i won't back down" (?????????)

flappy bird, Monday, 4 June 2018 17:47 (six years ago) link

"look at me" is so lovely

"run of the mill" too low, am i gonna say that for every george song

flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Monday, 4 June 2018 17:48 (six years ago) link

take it up with the 6 Tom Petty voters

Οὖτις, Monday, 4 June 2018 17:50 (six years ago) link

look at me is so sad and wonderful. i fucking love the quiet songs on JL/POB and i'm happy more are coming.

808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Monday, 4 June 2018 17:54 (six years ago) link

i love run of the mill too, very dylanesque.

this poll solidified my belief that ATMP is the strongest single post-Beatles release, especially if you lop off the Apple Jam

808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Monday, 4 June 2018 17:56 (six years ago) link

"Look at Me" is a White Album/India leftover - anyone know if there's a demo from '68 floating around? those wonderful Esher demos have "Junk" and "Child of Nature" and "Not Guilty," though iirc no George songs that ended up on ATMP (although it does have "Circles," which I know he recorded later. nice little song).

flappy bird, Monday, 4 June 2018 17:59 (six years ago) link

"Mrs. Lennon" > "Fame" on the Spotify is A+ segue.

WilliamC, Monday, 4 June 2018 18:03 (six years ago) link

Hi dere Beatle crew, “Run of the Mill” is my biggest *too low* so far. Had it at #6.

timellison, Monday, 4 June 2018 18:56 (six years ago) link

I’m guessing Crackerbox that low means little hope for This Song/Love Comes to Everyone/If You Believe/Faster/All Those Years Ago/Dream Away from you maniacs?

timellison, Monday, 4 June 2018 19:14 (six years ago) link

Love Comes to Everyone

hoping real hard for this one

flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Monday, 4 June 2018 19:15 (six years ago) link

I fucking love it now.

forgot to mention in original post, 29 ballots received overall. So, pretty good turnout for one of these things.

well i'm glad "goodnight tonight" is ahead of "beautiful boy"

flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Monday, 4 June 2018 19:25 (six years ago) link

i can't stand "beautiful boy" but i assume it's some lingering trauma from mr. holland's opus

flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Monday, 4 June 2018 19:25 (six years ago) link

funny contrast there, both released very close to each other

well i'm glad "goodnight tonight" is ahead of "beautiful boy"

it's not, it's tied
