Not sure what Rick Soto was thinking. Hemi Rudner gives it a little push and more piano. David Brookings goes rockabilly. Kirkland & Carlson go night club. Rainbow Press leans 60's psychedelic.Getzlaf15 said:

Paul definitely started the song war. Paul's was very veiled and John's was very direct, but that's what happens when you mess with John Lennon. John announced he was leaving the Beatles first, and Paul probably got tired of getting ganged up on by the others, so he lashed out by releasing that "press conference" on the McCartney album.
In any event, I think them taking some time off to work on solo projects would have been great, then coming back to the Beatles. If you watch Get Back, George even refers to doing exactly that. Unfortunately, the part that Paul has it right on, however, is that Allen Klein made that impossible. John, George, and Ringo were flat out wrong about Klein and by the time they realized it, Paul had already sued them to try and keep Klein from owning it all, just as he did with the Stones.
If only they could have been sensible and just picked somebody else. If Paul didn't want Klein and the others didn't want the Eastmans, pick somebody else that everyone could agree on.....I'm not sure how or why that didn't happen.

Speaking of Too Many People,
Too many people paying parking fines
Paul was kind of obsessed with parking, wasn't he?

These are the same people who were like "we have a concert in Libya as a backup plan, never mind that it's less than 2 weeks from now." I don't think they thought much through on the business/logistics side of things.

Wow. It’s tough to keep up with this thread.
Love You To - This a strange song but it’s actually quite good because it is different. it’s not a top 25 song or even top 50 Beatles song for me. The Beatles have too many songs that are better. I love when I’m listening to the album and it comes on. It’s never skipped.
Lovely Rita - Another great song that I never skip. It always puts me in a better mood. It’s not really the kind of song that fits my music taste but I can’t help but like it.
Other posters have mentioned this but these two songs are examples of why I listen to albums. I would not play either song on purpose but it’s great to hear them.
Love the thread!

Paul was still mad at John and just wanted to remind John that he was a better driver, even if he did sometimes let others drive his car.

Paul get a lot of grief for these types of songs ...maybe deservedly so.
I lovvvved this song when SPLHCB came out - but I was 9 and wanted pop - and those "old Beatles" back
Paul's stuff that leans to the ragtimey I never did care for - but Rita is still catchy to me.

My oldest son moved out in the past year to his own place and took his record player and records with him. This past Xmas I was shopping at an antique store and ran across some old albums - ended up buying him a Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Band album but unfortunately not this one. I can't listen to it all the time but when in the right mood is pretty fun to listen to.

Release dates in Beatles history!
On this date in 1967, the double-A-side single for "Strawberry Fields Forever" and some other song that people seem to like was released in the UK.
On this date in 1975, John's album Rock 'n' Roll was released in the US. This wasn't a particularly inspired album by John, who then took five years off to raise Sean before emerging again with Double Fantasy was released just a few weeks before his murder. Here's what I said about Rock 'n' Roll previously, which explains why this was kind of a "go through the motions" record for John. If you happen to read this now, then you don't have to repeat it all again as if I hadn't already said it, when we get to "Come Together":

While I really love The Beatles version of this one, I sort of regret ranking it. Not that I don't love the song, but with only 25 votes, I should have stuck with songs they actually wrote. But I love me some up tempo, high energy, guitar driven, screaming rock and roll. DML certainly is that, even if it offers little creativity or originality compared to a lot of their other work.Getzlaf15 said:

I wonder if we should have done this like @John Maddens Lunchbox is doing his second round of U2 voting and let people rank as many songs as they liked. Go through the catalog and then stop when you get to the ones you don't. Then these "almosts" might have made more of a difference and given a more accurate ranking.

I'm interested to see how the heck JML ends up ranking all the songs.

This is why.
When we are done here... maybe those that want to send in a 1-50 or 1-60 list would be interesting. Would like to get at least 20 if we do that. And no long count down. I would rapid fire list the results. Or is the number 1-73 for @Binky The Doormat?

My work computer has all sorts of tabs, folders, files, and search tools open dedicated to all the Beatles cover tunes. My home computer has all sorts of tabs, websites, and books open dedicated to research for the LZ writeups. It's gotten to the point where I have to try to schedule trying to work around these other higher priorities. How dare work interfere with these other important things!

1-64 would be appropriate.
I probably could have done all 206. Would have had to give the early albums/singles at least one more listen, because they’re not implanted in my head the way the middle and later stuff is, but it would have been enjoyable to do — unlike going through the later U2 stuff, which is why I didn’t do a U2 1-228 list for JML.

He has the methodology listed on the first page of the U2 thread. I'm running out for the rest of the day/night, but maybe someone else could post it.
I thought it was obvious that I wasn't serious with the suggestion, though. If nothing else, I can't do a third write-up of every song.

Want to point out (again?) that we had 71 lists this time and 35 in 2019. And the lists this time produced 39 more songs on the lists. (172 to 143).
I think a lot of the smoothing will be seen once we get to around #100.... as there are only five songs after that that didn't get five votes. We didn't get to a 5-vote song until #64 back in 2019.
It would be fun to do a quick 1-60 to see how the results compare. I think a few of the songs we are seeing now could make it into the Top 75.
There are a few songs in THIS count down that moved up in a huge way because we went from 35 to 71. I'll point those out when they get posted.

If we do that, No write ups. Just quickly in to me, and quick results.
This is a lot of work and I have the least amount of it. It's going to take another 3-5 years just to recover. I love doing this, but am glad Monday I'm playing poker almost all day to give the mind a break. (I should be able to post a few early that AM)
And if we do a quick 1-64 and get 20+, I'd be willing to do a very quick 1-206, if we can get at least ten. Let's revisit this when we finish here....

2019 write-up:
From Me To You (single, 1963)
Written on a tour bus during their 1963 tour with Helen Shapiro, this song was inspired by a column called "From Us to You" in the British weekly, New Musical Express, and became the first Beatles song to hit #1 on all three British pop charts ("Please Please Me" reached #1 on two of the three) and the first in a string of 11 singles that would hit the top of all the UK charts. Although "Thank You Girl" was pegged to be their next single, once people (including others on the Helen Shapiro tour) heard this one, the decision was clear to make this the a-side and relegate "Thank You Girl" to the b-side of the single. Interestingly, it didn't catch hold in the US very quickly, not even breaking the top 100, and a cover by Del Shannon that was released within a week of the Beatles's version performed slightly better on the charts than the original. It was only later, when the song was re-released as the b-side to "Please Please Me" in the US, that the song became a US hit.
The song had double the musical "trick" that Paul described them as having employed at the time, which was to put the word "I," "You," or "Me" in the song to make it seem like they were singing directly and personally to the fans. The chord progressions in the middle eight represented a departure that it seems in interviews that Paul was particularly proud of: in the part that goes "I've got arms that long..." they slip into a minor chord (G-minor) that was unexpected and different from the structure of their prior efforts. Beautiful harmonies here that weave perfectly in and out of the unison singing, along with a great bluesy feel with the usual-at-that-time harmonica. I find the opening sweetly melodic and intriguing - if I hadn't heard the song before, those "da da da dun dun"s would have me excited to find out what was to come. A wee bit of pop perfection.
Mr. krista: "I think it’s a fine pop song, but the stuff that gets me excited about other Beatles stuff it doesn’t seem to have. Kind of clever lyrics, but just a nice pop song."
Suggested cover: Have to admit that the Del Shannon cover mentioned above was pretty damn good. Faster tempo and feels almost surf-y to me.
2022 Supplement: Let’s turn to Paul again and see what he has to say: “John and I were still living at home when the Beatles started making records, and it occurred to us we should try and reach out to our fans. … ‘Love Me Do’ was a very personal plea…so after that came this song, ‘From Me to You.” We used every trick in the book. There was a catchy sing-along intro; you didn’t even have to know the words and you could sing along with that. We were foregounding the sound of John’s harmonica on these songs. … The idea of sending a letter was always a big thing in rock and roll.” Paul also described that they were on tour with Roy Orbison when they wrote this, which of course is in opposition to earlier reports that they wrote it on the Helen Shapiro tour (note the recurring theme that Paul is an unreliable narrator): “It was a special image to me, at twenty-one, to be walking down the aisle of the bus and there on the back seat of the bus is Roy Orbison, in black with his dark glasses, working on his guitar, writing ‘Pretty Woman. There was a camaraderie, and we were inspiring each other, which is always a lovely thing.”
Guido Merkins
After Please Please Me was a hit, George Martin asked for something as good as that. John and Paul had From Me To You next and there was a lot more where that came from. From Me To You was the Beatles 2nd #1.
Paul has expressed pride in From Me To You because of the middle and how it goes to a minor chord (I’ve got arms that long to hold you…) John expressed that From Me To You was far bluesier when they wrote it then what came out on the record. It features John on the harmonica again and John and Paul singing dual lead in harmony. Another Beatles trademark, the WOOOOO (Little Richard was their inspiration) which they would repeat on She Loves You and throughout the early years.
From Me To You is a great early Beatles single and as big as the Beatles were at this point, it would be She Loves You that would really send them into the stratosphere.

Seriously we are jonesing to find out the next Zeppelin song that’s gonna make everybody mad.
ETA: sorry folks this is a pretty random response to a write up. I love From Me to You, my first Beatles album was the “red” greatest hits compilation and this was on there. This one didn’t make my top 25 but if I’m counting right I have seven songs on my list from that CD including some at the top. That first influence is always strong.
