I've been listening to Paperback Writer and I think that's one of Paul's finest vocals. a-hard-days-night-paul-8

I listened to the White Album a couple of days ago and was struck by how incredible Lennon’s vocals were. I think he reached a peak on that record.

Was that before or after the pizza & wine?a-hard-days-night-john-5

Yeah, when you mentioned you were opening B-day presents to the strains of Yer Blues , it reminded me of John's “wooh!”'s in that song. As in, “…if I ain't dead already – wooh! – girl you know the reason why.”

I really enjoy his louder lyrics…YB, Twist And Shout , Money, etc… It's as if he's singing/shouting/growling at the same time. Jim Morrison had the same quality IMO.

I love George's vocal on Something (Anthology 3 ), and on Long Long Long.

Zig – before and after. On songs such as Happiness Is A Warm Gun and I’m So Tired he goes from subtlety to soaring in the space of a second. Just stunning.

I love John's vocals on Happiness Is A Warm Gun . It's probably my favorite Beatles song. I love his haunting vocals on Cry Baby Cry , too, even though he claimed to dislike the song.

Okay, my favorite Lennon vocal: Dear John from the John Lennon Anthology. Absolutely haunting.

I totally agree with you. I can't go through that album without being amazed by John.

My favorite part of that song is the bit when he screams “I’m GOING INSANE!”

I was thinking about “I wonder should I call you, but I know what you would do”. The melody is wonderful.

I always sing at the top of my lungs… “Sir Walter Raleigh he was such a stupid GIT!”  Love it.  heart

 

That's when I can't just hate Yoko. She truly inspired John. yoko-ono-01

His “ooooooohhh yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh” from Glass Onion always shocks me, especially coming off the tenderness of Dear Prudence . And his vocals on Sexy Sadie are just awesome, try and sing it, it's like impossible.

I thought about Sexy Sadie as well Gnik – nice one. It is very hard to go from a low tone to a falsetto like he does in that song.

I love John's “growly” voice on the italicized area. 

“Iiiiiiiiiiiiii thought that you would realize that if I ran away from you, that you would want me too.” 

If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind that is confusing things.

You have all made excellent points since my last post. I agree with every one of them! Seriously, now I have an itch to listen to some good Lennon vocals. Going for “Good Morning Good Morning ” right now. 🙂 I love his voice in that song.

I’m also going to throw “Dig A Pony ” into the mix of good songs up for discussion, for the John/Paul chorus harmonies. Love it.

Dig A Pony is a good one. I’ll throw You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away into the mix and say it can’t be beat, unless someone can convince me otherwise. a-hard-days-night-george-10

After I took it, it opened my eyes. We only use one-tenth of our brain. Just think what we could all accomplish if we could only tap that hidden part. It would mean a whole new world. If the politicians would take LSD, there wouldn't be any more War or poverty or famine.
