As a die-hard Angels fan that actually watched him bat clean up behind Nolan Ryan on the mound, I 1000% approve of this.

I did. I also saw several other people asking about it thought it would be good to go through it again.
appreciate it.

On the next song I post, I'll start listing the number of points the song earned on that post. The next song gets 13 points

Also, when we get to a point where there is a bottom 10, I'll throw the rules in at the bottom of that list on the spreadsheet. I can then cut and paste the bottom 10 and the rules very easily each time.
That will be in awhile though. We've only had 14 of the 71 voters appear so far.

When you have a song from your 1-25 list that is posted, I will assign a score to that song and keep a running total on who is "most" and "least" chalky. Song ranked #172 will get one point. Song ranked #1 will get 172 points. All of this is for fun and means nothing---

There's no other way to say it other than George's songs are much better suited for other bands to go in a different direction and come up with something creative than a lot of the early two-minute ditties. IMO, this grouping will be one of the best out of all the songs we'll get to (maybe even the best). They all go in a different direction than the original. That's that point of covers. There are no cookie cutter versions here. They're all good in their own way. The Vickers probably tops the list and Norway House is also top notch, but man, there's A LOT of good stuff here. I may be a heathen, but I like some of these better than The Beatles version. Maybe that's because it takes real talent to be able play this one (compared to some of the bubble gum pop songs with three cords and a bunch of clapping). I may just put these on shuffle play tomorrow.
Ronnie Montrose, Bongwater, Yim Yames, Cornershop, Glider, Joel Harrison, Sukilove, Fantasmes, Les Fradkin, Solid Gold, The Specimen, One Man Bannister, Christine Collester, Don Randi Trio, Anna-Bella Munter, Susheela Raman, Trypes, Johnny Nana, The Vickers, The BlackBirds & Calcutta Trio, Jada Yvette, Lyric Advisory Board, Paton/James, My Pleasure, Andrej Danóczi, Norway House, The Fab Folk, Mo Troper
These folks deserve a round of applause. Some of these are awesome. I don't listen to my Beatles covers a ton, and I NEVER would only listen a bunch of the same song. This is interesting for me in that regard. I never thought to compare the different cover versions. Kind of cool, actually, to think that all these folks heard what George and the band came up with and these are their interpretations and reimagined versions. Good stuff.

As a toss in, I remember a special thing my mom did (RIP). When I was born (1966), she went out and bought a Beatles Happy Birthday card. She sat on it for 40 years, had moved countless times covering thousands of miles, and gave it to me for my 40th birthday. I thought that was the coolest thing ever. And my mother was the furthest person you would ever apply the world cool to.

Lovely Rita (Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, 1967)
I've told the background story on this one before, but I love it and will mention it again. With the advent of parking meters in central London, Paul set out to write a protest song against the authorities. Paul being Paul, though, he couldn't help but turn it into a sunny, sweet love song: "I was thinking it should be a hate song... but then I thought it would be better to love her." Paul. He used the American term "meter maid" because he thought the term "maid" was sexy.
While I might often prefer more personal songs to Paul's made-up worlds, this is a huge exception. In addition to being ####### charming, this song is musically compelling, and the whole band sounds like they're having a riot with it, all of them playing comb-and-scratchy-EMI-issued-toilet-paper and adding various grunts and sighs and twirls. The heavy breathing at the end (which I looooove) was John's notion, with the others joining in until they all collapsed in fits of laughter. The highlight of the entire song for me is the enthusiastic "Rita!!" ~1:12 that leads into that fantastic piano part. The bass line compels the song along exceptionally as Paul builds the story with a playful and seemingly mischievous glee - I mean, "tow your heart away"? Awesome. This song is the first one in which Paul started his practice on Sgt. Pepper's of recording his bass alone in the studio after the other tracks had been laid down. Geoff Emerick credits this with the rich, melodic, and intricate bass lines that characterize the album. This song might be inconsequential, but of the "slighter" Beatles songs it's one of my favorites, and there's no way to listen without a huge smile.
Fun fact: Emerick almost got his public musical debut here, as he came up with the idea to sub the piano solo that replaced the guitar solo George had struggled with. Paul loved the idea and told Emerick he should play it, but to Emerick's later regret he demurred, worried about his lack of skill. Instead, George Martin added a honky-tonk solo in his usual jaunty style, with that extra "wobble" brought out through some Emerick effects.
Mr. krista: "I thought it was funny. In England do they call them meter maids? The song’s fun and it rocks. It’s like the second or third best song on this record that I don’t really like that much."
Suggested cover: I am dying here: Fats Domino
2022 Supplement: In “The Lyrics,” Paul expanded upon his inspiration for this song, mentioning that there was one particular militaristic-looking meter maid on whom he’d based the song: “I know it’s a terrible thing to say, but those meter maids were never good-looking. You never heard anybody say, ‘God, that’s one stunning parking attendant.’” Paul also indicated that perhaps he wished to suggest a threesome in the lyrics: “…the speaker seems slightly miffed by the fact that he and Rita end up on the sofa ‘with a sister or two.’ The line suggests that he might quite like to have been alone with her rather than to have the sister or two as third and fourth wheels. Of course, another implication is the possibility of ‘making it’ not only with Rita but with the sister or two in tow.”
Well. There you have it. Perhaps they all could have done it in the road.
Fun fact: Among those witnessing the recording of this song were the members of Pink Floyd, who came to the session at the request of Norman Smith, a former Beatles engineer who was then producing Floyd’s debut album. Nick Mason recalls that, “They were God-like figures to us. They all seemed extremely nice, but they were in a strata so far beyond us that they were out of our league. … We sat humbly and humbled, at the back of the control room while they worked on the mix, and after a suitable (and embarrassing) period of time had elapsed, we were ushered out again.”
Guido Merkins
Paul heard the term “meter maid” somewhere as an American term for a female traffic cop. He liked the term so he started writing a song around that term, hence, “lovely Rita meter maid.”
Lovely Rita is on the Sgt Pepper album on the B Side. As is most everything on Pepper, it was recorded in a lower pitch and sped up so the voice would sound higher. George Martin playing the cool, honky tonk style piano solo. I also love Lennon singing “lovely Rita meter maid….” background vocal awash in tons of echo. This is one of those sessions that George Martin described as chaos, which at this point was the exception, but starting with Magical Mystery Tour, would be more often. Screams, sighs, moans, and the kitchen sink was applied at the end during the long fadeout.
Fun song in the more lighthearted section of the album after the heaviness of Within You Without You and before the mindblowing A Day In the Life to end the album.

Whoa! I thought this would be off the board kinda early, but i didn't expect to be a lone wolf. Completely agree with the krista's - the song needed a bridge into an outro when it abruptly cut off. Could have been a 4 1/2 minute legend, but groundbreaking sub 3 will have to do.

This isn't Beatles related, but whenever I see or hear anything regarding Ravi Shankar, I wonder if his daughter Norah Jones ever plays the sitar. I finally investigated tonight, and she does not play the sitar, but her half-sister Anoushka Shankar does, and plays it very well. Her late half-brother Shubho Shankar played the sitar, and her late cousin Ananda Shankar played sitar.

I think it might compete with "The Inner Light" and "Within You Without You" a little in terms of making anyone's list. People who love the Indian-inflected stuff (I'm one but think we're a minority) have differing views of which they prefer. Today I might choose "The Inner Light" if I had to. And even though I think I'm a bigger fan of these than most people, still none of them made my top 25. It's a really tough cut-off.

Anoushka Shankar played on sitar for several numbers at the Concert for George, including "The Inner Light."

I (obviously) rank this one much higher, too. Maybe it's considered too silly or something, but I think it's very clever both lyrically and musically. And the bass line is killer.

I mentioned the Sirius top 100 Beatles list. I can remember listening to the countdown for hours one day driving home from Florida where we had taken our kids to Disney. Lovely Rita comes on - none of my kids had any idea what a meter maid was - not sure they do now either.

Oh wow, wouldn't have thought of that. I remember there's a professor at Princeton or someplace who every year makes a list of things his students, assuming they were born in xxxx year, wouldn't have experienced. Stuff like phone booths or the like (I'm pulling that one out of my ### and it might not have ever been on the list), that make you feel very, very old.

I'll Cry Instead (A Hard Day's Night, 1964)
I'm not much of a country music fan, but I love the C&W feel of this and especially George's first-rate Carl Perkins riffs. He starts off as expected but by ~0:30 it's like he's wandering around playing a different song than everyone else. It's completely charming and adds loads of texture and interest to the song. Also a big fan of John's vocal and how he cycles through every emotion, with the bridge leading (one could say "bridging") from lyrics about anger, insecurity, and retaliation into a more confident, even over-compensating, final verse:
And when you do you'd better hide all the girls
I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world
Yes, I'm gonna break them in two
And show you what your lovin' man can do
Until then I'll cry instead
For all the faux strength of the narrator at this point, though, with that last line he can't help but end back where he started. The emotional rollercoaster ride is complete.
Mr. krista: "Good rockabilly number. Is everyone else stuck on a train or something? I’d like to have to heard it with harmonies because I like how it runs through verse verse bridge verse."
Suggested cover: Joe Cocker, with Jimmy Page on guitar
2022 Supplement: Who TF posted a Joe ####### Cocker cover?!? Don’t you know those are verboten here?
Hold on, the producers are telling me that *I* am the one who perpetrated this abomination. Obviously 2022 me feels much shame for 2019 me.
Hey, I see that I loved this one in 2019! John and I share a love in particular for the middle eight. And I still love it, but it might move down a bit at this point based on the aggressively ####ty lyrics. I mean, it’s no “Run for Your Life” in that respect, but it’s an angry and vengeful song, though maybe all that anger couched in an upbeat dance tune is kinda cool. I’m quibbling at this point and looking for reasons not to have every song in my top 50. I do like that this is leading into John’s self-reflective period, which reached its peak in the Plastic Ono Band record.
Fun fact: This song was intended to be used in this scene in the movie A Hard Day’s Night, but was replaced by “Can’t Buy Me Love” because, John claimed, director **** Lester didn’t like it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZBp-XSR_dc (I don’t know why I can’t find a non-colorized version easily, but I gave up).
Fun fact #2: Due to some complicated crap regarding its intended use in the film, the mono version of this song released in the US is 20 seconds longer than the stereo version and the UK mono mix, containing an extra verse.
Guido Merkins
I’ll Cry Instead was considered for the A Hard Day’s Night film, but ultimately rejected for Can’t Buy Me Love and I’ll Cry Instead was put on the album’s B Side.
I’ll Cry Instead is very country flavored. The Beatles were all big fans of country music and you can hear it in George’s guitar playing and the drumming on this song.
John hated this song. The lyrics reflect John’s frustration and anger, maybe in his marriage (I just lost the only girl I had). Maybe with his fame (I can’t talk to people that I meet). The lyrics for the bridge (don’t wanna cry when there’s people there….) is the best part of the song. Always hated the line “I got a chip on my shoulder that’s bigger than my feet.” George and Ringo really hold the song together, but it’s not one of my favorites.
John’s lyrics are always a bit autobiographical even if he doesn’t mean to do it so I’ve heard it suggested that this song may be a precursor to I’m A Loser or You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away, but not more so than There’s A Place, which is a better song and took place two albums earlier.

I never knew George Martin played piano on the song until now. I missed a lot the first time around on your Beatles countdown, because my grandmother was going downhill during it, and I wasn't always tuned in. I think your grandfather died too during the process of your countdown.

though I appreciate and respect your opinions ...this is wrong
no doubt George was a developing talent when they started - and as I have mentioned a number of times, most of us had no idea who was
* writing what
* what were the dynamics of the band
* had no idea that prior these guys - most music was being written by someone else
* was more focused on whatever the media said their roles were
* wanted to have long hair, but weren't allowed by our parents
