Favorite Beatles Tunes Pre/Post Pepper

[Red Lion]

Just for fun list your 5 favorites before Faul/after Paul.

Pre-67

Got To Get You Into My Life
Day Tripper
The Night Before
I'll Be Back
I Saw Her Standing There


Post-67

Getting Better
I'am The Walrus
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Hey Bulldog
I Want You (She's So Heavy)

[Girl]

WOW! That's gonna be tough... I don't think there's a pre-67 song I didn't like... hmmmm....


Pre-67

And I Love Her
Devil In Her Heart
Do You Want To Know A Secret
If I Fell
She Loves You
Twist & Shout

Whew... I think that's about right...

Songs like "Love Me Do" and "Please Please Me" "Hard Day's Night", "Eight Days A Week" I like but am just plain sick of, cuz of overkill on the radio...

Post-67

Back In The USSR
Don't Let Me Down
Hey Jude
Let It Be
Revolution

That was somewhat easier... well, sort of. ;D

Edit: LOL I just noticed I had chosen 6 songs pre-67, not 5. I can't bring myself to delete one of them, so it'll just have to stay like that. Sorry, RL. [img src="http://galeon.hispavista.com/akostuff/img/Dunno2[1].gif"]


Edit 2: But if I HAD to delete one, it would be between
And I Love Her & Do You Want To Know A Secret... the others are written in stone...

[eyesbleed]

I used to prefer pre-67 stuff, but since my PWR realization that has reversed itself & I'm now totally blown away by the post 67 stuff & never play the older stuff.
pre 67....
Tomorrow Never KNows
She Said She Said
Drive My Car
Don't Bother Me
I'll Get You

Post 67....
I Am The Walrus
Strawberry Fields
Baby Your a Rich Man
It's All Too Much/Only a Northern Song
Hey Bulldog

I couldn't pick between the 2 Harrison songs

[Girl]

I'll Get You

D@#*! Missed that one! LOL

[JoJo]

Tough call, yes.

[DarkHorse]

1962-1966

All My Loving
Please Please Me
Drive My Car
Got To Get You Into My Life
8 Days A Week

...and many more

1967-1970

A Day in The Life
Ob La Di, Ob La Da(especially acoustic version on Anthology)
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Something
Here Comes the Sun(you can see I like Harrison's contributions )


P.S. It's interesting that the period in which "Paul" was with the band making hits was 1962-66, the 'red' album, signifying blood and the period in which Paul played in the Beatles. The 1967-1970 album (for PIDers) was when Paul was out of the band and it was colored blue because everyone was blue over his absence. (sorry I just had to bring that up here ;D)

[pennylane]

pre 67
Baby's in Black
Eleanor Rigby
Nowhere Man
Please please me
And your bird can sing

post 67
She's leaving home
Happiness is a warm gun
I am the walrus
golden slumbers/carry that weight/the end
strawberry fields..

i could go on forever!

[revolver]

<= 66

Thank You Girl
Help!
Drive my Car
I'm Only Sleeping
And Your Bird Can Sing

>= 67

Strawberry Fields Forever
A Day in the Life
Blackbird
Happiness is a Warm Gun
Come Together

I could pick another equally good 5 or 10 in each category. I'm more of a Lennon fan than Paul or Faul.

I thought it had more to do with the whole red pill, blue pill thing....

"...gives him a choice between taking a blue pill,
which would cause him to wake up as if the experience were a dream,
and taking a red pill, which would allow Morpheus to show him the truth of life
and the world."
(from somebody's paper on The Matrix)

And isn't there something about that in Alice in Wonderland also?
Red pill for reality blue pill for illusion

Good point. I hadn't thought of that. It could be either/or.

Paperback Writer

They really cranked up the Rickenbacker for that one. Only the Beatles would use the Bass as lead. Apart from the Riffs from Lennon at the beginning and middle.

For years I thought they were saying 'Amanda Lear' instead of 'A man named Lear' . Well it may be a play on words because they did know (friend of Salvador Dali) Amanda Lear and there were several rumours that Amanda Lear was a transsexual. Which she seemed to deny and yet not deny.

"Dear Sir or Madam would you read my book............"

It's not about Love and neither was the other side Rain. A first I think......

Wow, 2005....seems like an eternity...but I stand by those choices today....: )

[delysid]

I can never hear 'Lovely Rita' without welling up with joyful tears at that descending vocal harmony between John and Paul into the Paul-exclaimed 'Rita!' and piano solo.
It is the work of angels! Absolutely divine.

Now, if 'Bill' came into the band and a couple of months later came up with that, he's not Satan but GOD ALMIGHTY

Yes it is about love. Naturally he used the Rickenbacker bass, as there was no other option for this song. 

www.beatlesbible.com/songs/paperback-writer/2/
"Paperback Writer is most notable for its heavy bass line, played by Paul McCartney on a Rickenbacker in place of his usual Hofner."

This Boy and I've Got a Feeling

[chica]

I love all their early stuff. Have "Live At The BBC" and "On Air-Live at the BBC Volume 2. A lot of the music is music that was popular in their early years and I have never heard it, but considering there is probably a 6yr age difference between me and them, I would have never heard those songs, but, I like them.
