It's easily the best solo Beatles record.

I agree but the Phil Spector "wall of sound" echo was way over done, especially on Wah-wah, Let It Down, Awaiting on You All and Art of Dying.  Also the Apple Jam LP is kinda boring and I have to admit that while I've listened to Sides 1-4 thousands of times, I have probably listened to sides 5-6 only a handful with "It's Johnny's Birthday" being my favorite because it is only 49 seconds long.

I've heard ATMP a thousand times but have listened to it maybe thrice. As someone who always hated bliss, i usually gave it short shrift. During my runaway years, i encountered dozens of alternative communities filled w Blissies and all this city boy could think of was "we've spent 200 years fighting our way out of the yolks of altar & throne........for THIS?! Just trade it all in for yet another myth?!" And, unfortunately, Harrison was the unofficial captain of the "oh....yeah.....cool......peace" movement, so i gave his music much less attention & respect than it deserved. My loss.

I check out that side one more time and i hear everything i want to hear from a side - invention, melody, humor, wisdom and, most important, the ability to hold my sway for a while. That's one thing artists seldom understand any longer, the responsibility of being better than other people being to make other people better. The power to make them offer to put themselves in the palm of your hand that they may be comforted, enlightened, inspired, relieved of life's awful burdens for a short time and given a view from above it all.

He warned us. George Harrison was a product of what he saw, not what he knew, as most great artists are in their approach to their work. And, relieved of the onus of great inner fire, he was able to say, quite early on in counterculture terms, "It's all bull####, don't you know. Find peace in your heart and you will see that it's so. I don't have to be complicated and neither do you. Here are some songs about complicated people and how silly is all they do."

Beware of Maya. Beware of illusions which become delusions. Open your heart before you open your mind and it will go oh so much more easily. And now, almost 50 years on, almost everything is Maya. My gen did indeed cast the bliss aside and what for? Identity & individuality, liberty & license, consumption & concupiscence. Now all we look for is peace, take pills for peace, be mindful for peace. ####ed out, tensed up, pissed off, shut down are we. Oh....yeah.....cool......peace. Sounds pretty good all of a sudden. All things must pass.

This is one of your best posts (which is saying a lot).  I’m going to read it through again, considering each word, before I listen to Side 3 again.  Seriously, thank you.

Mrs. Murph and I tied the knot on Saturday and we just wanted to tell you that we got so many compliments on our Beatles musical theme. It really elevated our day from simply being amazing to being absolutely perfect. And it never would have happened without this thread. If you and Mr. Krista are ever in the Boston area the first bottle of wine is on us.

Details for those who are interested... We chose an instrumental arrangement of In My Life (Mrs. Murph's #1 ranked) for the processional. The bride walked down the aisle to an instrumental arrangement of Here Comes the Sun. And we chose Two of Us (Mr. Murph's #3 ranked) for the recessional. At the reception the wedding party was introduced to Got To Get You Into My Life and our first dance was Something. The band surprised us with a Hey Jude sing-a-long for a send-off. Despite both of us being more aligned with Mr. Krista's opinion of that song it was just perfect.

Oh wow, this is just incredible.  Congrats to the Murphs!  Pictures are always welcome.  I think the "Here Comes the Sun" part would have made me blubber like a baby.   :)

Sounds like a wedding that would have been fun to attend for a change since the music would have been great.  Congrats.  

 
OK, when and why did the Beatles Channel become the Meg Griffin Channel?  It's driving me nuts, and I find myself listening more and more to the other channels.  It's not that she's bad, but I liked her in the smaller doses of "Eight Songs a Week."  I like the themed shows with hosts just fine -  "Northern Songs" is my favorite - but she's just acting as a deejay, simply introducing songs.  Verrrrrrrryyyyyy sloooooooowwwwwlllllyyy introducing songs.  I turn the channel all the time now just not to hear this.  Don't need a deejay coming between me and the music.

Speaking of switching around, I have the Meg Griffin Channel sandwiched between Underground Garage and Classic Vinyl on my presets, and it's been my goal to score a "Triple Beatle," in which all three channels are playing a Beatles song at the same time.  Double Beatle happens all the time, often with even the same exact song, but the closest I've come to Triple Beatle was last week when the third one started about 30 seconds after the song on one of the other channels ended.  Gah!

Meg must be on half the SXM rock channels nowadays. She was my favorite host on The Loft before it got gutted, but I could seed how her style wouldn't fit very well on The Beatles station.

Classic Vinyl would be the weak link in your "Triple Beatle" quest, no? Seems like Underground Garage plays them at least once an hour.

I’m getting them pretty equally on the two non-Beatles channels, unless Chris Carter is on the Garage.  My quest continues!

 
My daughter, who has been showcased in this thread with her singing of "Let It Be" and who attended Sir Paul's concert with me last summer, was wholly unimpressed with her first listen of "Temporary Secretary" last night when my son started playing it on his phone.  

On a related note, I have a new favorite child.

Hey @krista4,   as the year ends, I just wanted to give you one more thanks for this thread!

Opened up spotify on my laptop for the first time in months (listen off my phone everyday in the car) and it had my 2019 list of 100 most songs listened to this year. I listened to almost nothing but Beatles the two months you wrote all your rankings. Great times, especially because I had a knee issue those two months that had me in a wheel chair.

I want to see how my Top 25 ranking list was different from the Top 100 songs I listened to most.  To see how much you and everyone that sent in a Top25 changed my Beatle ways...

Left column in my original Top 25 list.   Right is end of year most listened to list.   21 Beatle songs were in my Top 100 listened to in 2019.

This is great stuff, especially the five at the end that weren't even in your top 25.  And WTG, Ticket to Ride!!!

I didn't understand the comment on this one.

It finished in my Top 21 Beatles songs that I listened to out of my Top 100 on Spotify.   I didn't rank it in my Top 25 here. Doubt I would put it in a new Top 25 here.

Got it.  It was the "again" that confused me, as it seemed to imply you had the first time, though you hadn't.  Interestingly enough (or not), I've probably moved it into my Top 10 now (it was #11 before).

 
A brief hijack:  there's a movie available on Amazon Prime called Gringo. A bit of Tarantino knock‐off kind of comedy.  I give it a 7/10 which some might argue is generous.  

Anyway, it has a few funny bits of dialogue about the Beatles.

That is all.  Oh, and Charlize Theron is fabulous.

The Background:

I don’t remember exactly when or why I decided to do this, but it’s been rumbling around in my head for a while to put the Beatles song into an order of personal preference.  When I mentioned this in passing in the Beatles thread, a few folks – @Uruk-Hai, @rockaction, @Ilov80s– encouraged me to do it and post it, while @Eephusnotably told me I was crazy to pursue it.  :lmao:

I am a Beatles late adopter.  They were before my time, and I spent my formative musical years shunning them almost entirely, with the belief that the only Beatles song I liked was I Want to Hold Your Hand (hi rockaction!).  There wasn’t a lightning-bolt moment where I changed my mind, but beginning ~20 years ago I started listening to them more and more, influenced in great part by the fact that most of my friends at the time were Chicago musicians who were Beatles obsessives.

As a result, I’m not bringing a wealth of personal stories to this endeavor nor a lifelong base of Beatles knowledge.  There are a ton of posters here with more knowledge of the Beatles and music in general than I have (I'm not tagging them in case they don't want to be associated with my paltry thread), as well as people like @wikkidpissahwho can write a compelling account of a life experience linked to any damn song.  I hope that these folks will participate actively in the discussion.  And that’s what I’m hoping this to be – not (just) a narcissistic listing of personal preferences but an opportunity to discuss my favorite music with lots of smart people with strong opinions.

The Process:

This is not a list of the Beatles songs I think are “best”; it is a rank order of which songs I like the most.   IMO A Day in the Life is the best Beatles song, but it is not my #1 favorite song.

To put together the list, I started by, over the course of months, sitting with Mr. krista at night and listening to the 12 British LPs and one British EP in order from Please Please Me through Abbey Road.  Then we listened to the singles that hadn’t been already covered, most of them collected on Past Masters.  I excluded the German versions as well as Real Love and Free as a Bird, which make me angry.  If I had it to do over, I would have worked the singles in in their correct chronological order instead.

As we listened, I typed up my comments and put the song in an initial tier, 1 through 5.  After the song ended and I had put it in a tier, I asked Mr. krista for his comments and typed those up as well. 

Once all 204-211 songs (more on that later) had been put into one of the five tiers, I then went through each tier and preliminarily ordered the songs within the tiers.  Once all five tiers were done, I meshed the tiers together, sometimes finding that I actually liked a song in a lower tier better than a song in a higher one, so it wasn’t simply adding tier 2 to tier 1, etc.

After I had this initial rank order of all the songs, I put them in a Spotify playlist in that order and then, over the course of the past several months, have listened to the entire playlist numerous times, moving songs around with each listen.  I’d estimate I’ve listened through the entire playlist at least 40 more times, with the middle part getting even more listens.  Mr. krista commented a couple of months ago that he has friends who’ve written novels in less time than I’ve spent on this.

The Result:

What I’ll be posting is not an argument that a particular song is objectively better than another; it’s just what I like best.  When I couldn’t decide on an order, I’d ask myself which song I’d rather hear if I could only hear one of them again for the rest of my life.  I also considered the non-scientific question of “how loud do I turn this up when I comes on the Beatles channel?”  😄 

A few other caveats:

1.      I’m treating the Abbey Road medley as one song for ranking purposes (sorry, Eephus), though I will rank each element of the medley internally within whatever ranking it gets as well.  In other words, if it was my 50th favorite song, I’ll post an internal ranking of 50(a), (b), etc.  With that listed as one song, I ended up with 204 songs ranked in total.  I’ll list them all in the next post.

2.      This is a Ringo-friendly thread, and if you don’t like Ringo, this might not be the thread for you, other threads out there, have a nice season, etc.

3.      Do not fear the sitar!

My God, it's been a year already? 

Might be time for a re-read....

C'mon, we know no one read it the first time.  ;)

Can't believe I missed the anniversary of our baby thread!  Thanks for mentioning it, Getz.  I really miss interacting with some of you guys that I don't see elsewhere.

Is it time for a 2020 redo?  :lol:    Some of these clearly need re-thinking.  Like, Penny Lane was much too high.

This is my first time reading this thread.  I'm a fringe Beatles fan... my wife is a huge Beatles fan.  I'm posting here because in reviewing your list, you made me smile, and cry.

In My Life was the song my wife and I had played at Jack's visitation (accompanying his picture tribute).  We also had the lyrics printed on his funeral service program.  That song will be forever a special reminder of Jack, his life and how much we love him.

Thank you @krista4

Oh wow.  I had watched some of the picture tribute before, but I'll be honest that maybe halfway through I had become such a blubbering mess that I couldn't watch the whole thing.  But I just did it all this time and am glad I did.  Love that you used Mother Nature's Son too, by the way. 

Despite its being my #1 song, I'd never had any particular memory or person or experience associated with In My Life.  Until now, that is - now I'll always think of Jack and the Kee family when I hear it (which is often!).  Thank you enormously for sharing this and making the song even more special.  :heart:   :heart:   :heart:

By the way, guys!!!  I finally got my Triple Beatle a few weeks ago!  Sirius was simultaneously playing "Come Together" on the Underground Garage, the demo version of "Let 'Em In" on Classic Vinyl, and "If I Needed Someone" on the Beatles channel.  Highlight of my 2020 so far.

I have Spotify links to each song in the original post, and I have a Spotify playlist of my own with all of these in order but actually have no idea how to post such.  Maybe in conjunction with the 2020 re-rankings...  ;)

Ah, very sorry, k4. I'm trying to remember in the thread if there was a debate or something like it. Was it that you were linking Spotify and couldn't do You Tube for everybody, maybe? That must have been it. Oh yeah, now I remember listening on Spotify and not having had known they were there.

I started with Spotify, but then some people don't use it and requested YouTube, but some people couldn't access those from work, so I ended up doing both.
