^ We could deleted the lists of songs in the thread title so that it would just read “Which of these songs are your favorite?”

Anyone want to second this idea?

OK. Topic title changed. Should we mainly have 1 list running at a time? I wouldn’t rap any knuckles if someone went back and picked up an earlier list to comment on. Or do we let people quote and comment on any list at any time? I have no preference.

I think if we try to aim to have mainly one list at one time that would be bettet however there’s no reason people couldn’t quote and reply to older lists

@Jules I hate to break it to you but The Beatles don’t have the best version of Dear Prudence

I fecking love Jerry’s version of “Dear Pru”– he messes up a bit but its still magical~~ it’s the perfect song for someone of Jerry’s energy and vibes ahdn_george_05

Edit: Just remembered I have a bunch of stickers that I ordered from RedBubble for my laptop coming in this week– one of them is Grateful Dead sticker!! *excitement*~~

I’m aware of that version. It’s good. But it isn’t nearly as good as John’s version.Some of the arrangements are all over the place and the vocal performance is overdone, it just doesn’t feel as personal. George’s vocals as the “round round” is much more smoother and the constant pace doesn’t fuck up the emotion the way it does in Jerry’s band. Besides, one of the reasons Dear Prudence is the best is because of the instrumental breakdown at the end, this doesn’t even have something nearly as touching. Also 11 minutes? No thanks. My Prudence is concise and tightahdn_george_05ahdn_george_05

I’ll take the extended live jam from Jerry over virtually any studio song.

I’m going to shuffle on Spotify and list 5 songs now for the next ranking! (Although I don’t know how we choose who picks the next 5 going forward?)

 

Twist And Shout

Don’t Let Me Down

Penny Lane

Within You Without You

A Hard Day’s Night

 

Huh, I thought I might have to tweak but I actually think that’s a pretty good cross-section. Get ranking!

I think it's great you're going through a phase,

and I'm awfully glad it'll all be over in a couple

of days

Twist And Shout

Don’t Let Me Down

Penny Lane

Within You Without You

A Hard Day’s Night

  

5. Don’t Let Me Down – Hard to say, something about that song never fully connected with me. When it comes up in a playlist or on Past Masters or at a Beatles tribute concert I’m always a bit like “Okay, I guess it has to be there, but I’m more interested in what comes next”. Needless to say it’s still a good song!

 

4. Twist And Shout – Together with Long Tall Sally my favourite cover song of the Beatles. It’s energetic and a cool rocker.

 

3. A Hard Days Night – Catchy and iconic, with the vocal switch between Lennon and McCartney as a highlight!

 

2. Penny Lane – One of the best songs ever, Beautiful melody, beautiful slightly baroque instrumentation, the perfect companion piece to Strawberry Fields Forever .

 

1. Within You Without You – One of the best songs ever, Harrison on creative fire. Strange, spooky, touching, wonderful, masterpiece, shivers…

Well, I did this before, but I feel like doing it again. I have 5 songs, and you have the option to vote for your favourite. 

The songs are:

I Want To Tell You

Baby You’re A Rich Man

Happiness Is A Warm Gun

Good Morning, Good Morning

Piggies

After enough users have voted their favorite, I will tally up the results, and see which song is beloved by the most fans. Use your opinion, not others, and you can write your feelings on the song if you want as wellpaul-mccartney-thumb_gif.

And, like last time, when there are enough answers, someone else can do 5 songs.

How about we make it like the baker’s dozen. In this game, if you make the 8th answer, you choose 5 songs to have others vote for. You can do songs other people did before, but you cannot have 3 or more already used songs in one poll.

The reason I’m making a second one is because the first one went off topic, and I wanted to make a more organized one.

Good luck voting!

Yes, this is similar to the Baker’s Dozen, but not similar enough that I will take this thread down.

Moderators can move this to forum games if people have loads of fun with this.

@Magill I have moved your posts to this thread, because we do not need multiple threads on the same topic as it keeps the forum neater and easier to navigate. As said on page 1:

Ahhh Girl said

Implying this thread can keep being used with any number of combinations of different songs.
