The Beatles' Solo Careers Poll - Voting and General Discussion Thread

the wonder of it all baby

It’s just another day.

but you know who should have put their songs on the playlist to get a big break? Weyes Blood! do y'all know about this artist? she has her own thread - Weyes Blood - but i'm mentioning her here because her songs in my friend's quarantine playlist really scratch the solo Beatles itch for me. check out "Something to Believe" - like a lost George/John teamup album cut if they'd gotten Nico in to sing, sorta.

bit of "Without You" too, I suppose

weyes blood is a rapturously beloved ilm favorite, i think she reached the top ten of both end-of-year polls last year

Love this. I got those vibes a lot too, Doc.

(y'know only she's better)

haha well the secret's out that i'm behind on my old habit of weeding through the annual polls as my primary means of keeping up with "new" music

Ha ha - join the club. Though I'm (recently) up to date with Weyes Blood.

Ha! I just made a playlist for a friend and put "Something to Believe" right next to "All Things Must Pass". The new Weyes Blood album makes me want to go back in time and force George Harrison and Karen Carpenter to collaborate.

A new angle on my theory that Ringo's solo career should largely have consisted of country-flavored duets: they should have been produced and arranged by George, and Karen Carpenter should have been a regular guest.

If you're looking for another recent track that's a cousin of All Things Must Pass, try this:

hey should have been produced and arranged by George, and Karen Carpenter should have been a regular guest.

I like this so long as George insists on Karen drumming.

All Things Must Pass album, I should say, not the track. And it starts out more Esher demo.

very Esher demo! nice pick.
