09) Her Majesty: Alright, I'll just come out and say it--I don't feel this song is needed on the album; I feel it's just distracting. I think The Beatles would have really had something if they had ended the album with "The End": it just feels like...well...the end of the album, and I think throwing in what I consider to be a filler song after such a beautiful finale takes away from the stupefied numbness you experience after the medley. And if this song is so great, why do so many listeners always forget it's there?

08) Carry That Weight: Although an excellent intro into "The End" ...

Nice list, FlyOn13, ours are basically the same. We just have Carry That Weight and Sun King switched.

I don't consider Her Majesty part of the medley so I won't include it my ranking:

8) Sun King (nice riff but low-tempo and seems TOO long)

7) Mean Mr Mustard

6) Carry That Weight

5) Polythene Pam (although I love the backing vocals)

4) You Never give me your money

3) She came in through the bathroom window (especially the chorous)

2) The End (nice rock song but EPIC ending)

1) Golden Slumbers (Paul's vocals)

9. Sun King (as an individual song it's a bit boring I think but in the medley it's good I like the change from you never give me your money to sun king and from sun king to mean mr. mustard so in the medley it's much better than her majesty)
8. Her Majesty (they shouldn't have recorded it)
7. Polythene Pam (good songs but I prefer other songs)
6. Mean Mr. Mustard (the same as polythene pam)
5. Carry That Weight (I like the little solo after the first chorus very much)
4. The End (very nice with it's ...

1 - Sun King> Love the gibberish and as I speak Spanish and French, I understand a bit of it. Typical of John to get 'Chicka Ferdy' somewhere in there.

2 - Polythene Pam> why? you may ask. Just because of this:oh you should see polythene pam, she's so good-looking but she looks like a man

3 - She Came In Through The Bathroom Window> Written after a slightly strange encounter, result:slightly strange song. Strange is good though.

4 - The End> Lovely.

5 - Golden Slumbers> Also lovely.

6 - Carry That Weight

7 - You Never Give Me Your Money

8 ...

9) Her Majesty

8) Mean Mr. Mustard

7) The End

6) Carry That Weight

5) You Never Give Me Your Money

4) Sun King

3) She Came In Through the Bathroom Window
