Worst Beatles song on Revolver

I like "Love You To" best of George's Indian Trilogy - at least it has some drive. (The mashup of "WYWY" with "Tomorrow Never Knows" on the Love album improves that song considerably.)

This is the toughest Beatles album to find a dud on. I'm Yellow Submarining it because I'm over 11 years old, but really, I should abstain.

Love You To >> The Inner Light >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Within You, Without You

Dude was a dentist who gave them acid!

I know what the song's about!

You guys, the dentist who dosed George and John's coffee is NOT Dr. Robert, it's the aforementioned dr who prescribed drugs to celebrities in order to hang out with them! Enough!

"For No One" isn't that good, a bit like a crappy cousin of "Eleanor Rigby".

?????????????????????????????????????? omg

Ppl voting Love You To are serious SB-bait

What does this mean? (I voted Love You To) I can't believe Geir Hongro likes Love You To....this line of threads makes me nuts yet I can't stop looking at them!!!

For No One and Eleanor Rigby are brilliant and I am no Paul fan

Toss up between "I'm Only Sleeping" and "Here There & Everywhere" - the rest is wall-to-wall brilliance, not a flaw in it as far as I'm concerned. But both of those songs kind of wear out their welcome for me. I'll vote for IOS just because it seems like HT&E is getting enough votes already..

xpost SB = "suggest ban," the link under posts to suggest banning the poster from the boards.

"For No One" is maybe one of the three or four best songs on here - I guess it gets dismissed as "more maudlin Paul" but, as on "I'm Looking Through You" and just a few other songs, it feels like a maudlin-ness that actually comes from the heart - I believe in this sad sap with his ex's pet names ringing in his head while he's painfully aware that she's moved on and he hasn't. Feels real to me in a way that "Michelle" never will.

for no one is outstanding imo

love you to is subpar raga-harrison but i still like it. inner light & within you without you are awesome!

explain the pure brilliance of yellow sugbanrine plaese?

get thee to Popular

voted "Love You Too."

Paul, who wrote that sub-Pitchfork garbage? Though kudos that the writer was able to devote all of four utterly unconvincing sentences in defense of a song as poor as the writer's argument.

i love that this album was #1 in the u.s. and u.k. for more than a month in '66. so awesome. not to be all cliche, but it would still be a mindblowing #1 record today.

like "hard day's night," this is another one i'm sitting out. there's nothing i dislike enough to vote for it.

what else came out in '66 that could reasonably be called psychedelic? the dead, hendrix, pink floyd and a bunch of others all came in '67.

where did we come from? why are we here? where are we going to...?
(dble-x:p)

(ok, 13th floor elevators was '66. it's just really kind of astounding how fast it happened, the emergence of all of that.)

xp: dexy's, belle and sebastian, momus?

who is John GaltTom Ewing?

good day sunshine. actually, for my 'favorite' beatles album, there are several songs on it I don't care for (yellow sub, good day sunshine, got to get you into my life, doctor robert). I think the ballads (elenor rigby, here there and everywhere, and for no one) are fucking incredible though, the pinnacle of mccartney's writing.

oh yeah I Want to Tell You, a song so slight I forgot it even existed

GTGYIML is crap

Fucking madhead talk.

i was doing okay with the last few threads, but god, i hate you all

love you to rules

GTGYIML is crap

wtf

tbh finally hearing this shit in mono totally changed my mind about tons of their songs

i voted yellow submarine, totally corny -- cant stand when they got all kids songs

if you vote for no one or i'm only sleeping, expect an sb

in the mail

suggest fist to the face!!

Yellow submarine is really annoying. I don't know if that's sort of the point in which case it's genius. Must be the second most annoying Beatles song after Obladi Oblada.
Here, there and everywhere is corny as fuck even by Beatles standards but has some nice moments. That'd be my second choice.

the lyrics to taxman (rich popstar whines about the inland revenue) are nauseating enough to distract from the groove.

Very surprised at how many people dislike "I'm Only Sleeping". When I first heard this album I thought it was one of the best things I'd ever heard.

I love this album, but there's a lot of throwaway and I can't seem to make up my mind which is worst out of Good Day Sunshine, Dr Robert and I Want To Tell You. Probably the first one, mostly because I always heard the line as "I've got something I can flap about", which sounds weird and conjures up images of Macca in a paedo-jacket flashing at people.

You're odd.

blame Paul, he mentally scarred me.

Taxman - fucking whingers.

I remember reading somewhere that Dr Robert is the only song from the original Beatles albums that has never been covered by anyone in an official release. Can that be true?

'Yellow Submarine' would be too obvious a choice. It's far from being my favourite, but as novelty songs go it's OK and deserves to survive this poll because we sang it as kids at school (without knowing it was a Beatles song). 'Love You To' is dull, but 'Here, There and Everywhere' is awful - saccharine Paul at his worst (and I like a lot of his stuff that gets on other people's nerves, like 'Good Day Sunshine' and 'Martha My Dear').

Dr Robert

There is a live version of this released in 2005 by Andrew Gold as a bonus track on a re-issue of his album All This and Heaven Too. Apart from that there is a dull one on the Beatlesgrass compilation CD and the nice solo guitar version by Steven King. Aside from those nothing I know of.

OK. I somehow knew there couldn't have been a Beatles song that has never been covered!

Blue Jay way is pretty much uncovered, apart from Colin Newman on a solo album. I think he did it *because* it hadn't been.

.. although that's not even listed on http://www.beatlescoverversions.com/tbl.html

i saw Robyn Hitchcock and Jon Brion play "Blue Jay Way" live once ... It was great!

Love you To, though the lyrics to Taxman are the album's real blot - thanks, George, for inventing rock star whining.

Not too up with my history, but wasn't there some ridiculous tax inflation thing that happened in the mid-60s and sparked at least a couple of "tax" songs, "Sunny Afternoon" being another?

Still, moaning about having to pay nurses is just mad gay.

true, the tax rates for high earners were pretty astronomical back then, but it still makes them sound like twats.

Incidentally, I like these "worst of" classic albums threads we've been having lately - not that I like to concentrate on the negative, but they do seem to start more discussion than everyone just posting "God Only Knows" over and over again.

I don't think there's anything twattish about "Taxman" at all - twattish is Phil Collins showing compassion towards the plight of the homeless by writing and recording a million-selling single all about them, rather than by inviting a few dozen of 'em to come live in one of his mansions.

no, there's definitely something twatish about taxman, but it rocks so hard I can't imagine voting against it.
