13. 09 November 1961 (Brian Epstein first sees the Beatles live at the Cavern Club)

I found it interesting that most of the events we consider iconic occurred early in the history.  Anyway…

13 Beatles Songs You Don’t Really Care For And Why (can repeat if the “why” is different)

13 Beatles Songs You Don’t Really Care For And Why (can repeat if the “why” is different)

1. What Goes On (I always feel like this song sounds like a cover even though it’s a Lennon/McCartney/Starkey original)

2. Penny Lane (it exists, it goes by ok but it’s just too meh whilst folk rabbit on for hours about how amazing it is. Sorry but turn the 45” over and indulge in brilliance). 

3. I Want You (She’s So Heavy) (too long, doesn’t evolve, bad hiss even by my lo-fi standards, bad edit at roughly 4:33, inane lyrics, a bore, etc. Skip forward a track and listen to one of the best)

4. Yellow Submarine (for me it just completely throws Revolver  off course and is probably the Beatles song I skip the most. I mean it’s okay and I’ll enjoy listening to it if I’m in a certain mood for inane silliness and I appreciate its place in pop culture, but overall it’s just some annoying childish thing that makes me want to tear my hair out because of how repetitive and drab it is. It’s not even the best song on its own album for its own movie. Just bleh)

5. Hey Jude (actually just the na na coda.  When song was new, I thought it was cool and I liked the novelty of a seven minute song on a 45.  But now I get inpatient with the endless repetition.  On an album or CD, I think the space could have better devoted to another song.  It also inspired other musicians to pad ordinary songs with unnecessary repetition to make it seem like an epic classic.  I’ll bet you can think of examples.”

6. Tell Me What You See (I find this one pretty unremarkable, so much so in fact that I always forget it even exists. I think it’s the singing: John and Paul both sound like they aren’t putting a whole lot of effort into it, especially in the verses. The bits when they sing the title are actually pretty okay, but the best and really only interesting part of the song, for me, is the humming at the end. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad song, it’s just…. not a very good one.)

At least the Stones’ version has some sort of style to it– but this version is just bland and uninteresting. The vocal work that Ringo does is not good and really monotonous. The only parts I really enjoy are where Paul and John come in with the backing vocals during the chorus. Also, the repetitive and uninteresting lyrics don’t help the case of this song at all.)

13 Beatles Songs You Don’t Really Care For And Why (can repeat if the “why” is different)

1. What Goes On (I always feel like this song sounds like a cover even though it’s a Lennon/McCartney/Starkey original. EDIT: I commented elsewhere on the forum that this sounds like No Reply lite. No dis to NR, just that this is a much poorer re-hash of the same concept.)

2. Penny Lane (it exists, it goes by ok but it’s just too meh whilst folk rabbit on for hours about how amazing it is. Sorry but turn the 45” over and indulge in brilliance). 

3. I Want You (She’s So Heavy) (too long, doesn’t evolve, bad hiss even by my lo-fi standards, bad edit at roughly 4:33, inane lyrics, a bore, etc. Skip forward a track and listen to one of the best)

At least the Stones’ version has some sort of style to it– but this version is just bland and uninteresting. The vocal work that Ringo does is not good and really monotonous. The only parts I really enjoy are where Paul and John come in with the backing vocals during the chorus. Also, the repetitive and uninteresting lyrics don’t help the case of this song at all.)

9. She’s A Woman (Lyrics sound like they were dashed off as filler for the single, which seems to be verified by Paul’s and John’s comments on the song. Hasty recording session shows in the poor sonic quality.  Don’t particularly like Paul’s Little Richard here, which sounds weak and watery, almost sickly. I do like the chunky guitar and the piano backing.)

13 Beatles Songs You Don’t Really Care For And Why (can repeat if the “why” is different)

1. What Goes On (I always feel like this song sounds like a cover even though it’s a Lennon/McCartney/Starkey original. EDIT: I commented elsewhere on the forum that this sounds like No Reply lite. No dis to NR, just that this is a much poorer re-hash of the same concept.)

2. Penny Lane (it exists, it goes by ok but it’s just too meh whilst folk rabbit on for hours about how amazing it is. Sorry but turn the 45” over and indulge in brilliance). 

3. I Want You (She’s So Heavy) (too long, doesn’t evolve, bad hiss even by my lo-fi standards, bad edit at roughly 4:33, inane lyrics, a bore, etc. Skip forward a track and listen to one of the best)

4. Yellow Submarine (for me it just completely throws Revolver  off course and is probably the Beatles song I skip the most. I mean it’s okay and I’ll enjoy listening to it if I’m in a certain mood for inane silliness and I appreciate its place in pop culture, but overall it’s just some annoying childish thing that makes me want to tear my hair out because of how repetitive and drab it is. It’s not even the best song on its own album for its own movie. Just bleh)

5. Hey Jude (actually just the na na coda.  When song was new, I thought it was cool and I liked the novelty of a seven minute song on a 45.  But now I get inpatient with the endless repetition.  On an album or CD, I think the space could have better devoted to another song.  It also inspired other musicians to pad ordinary songs with unnecessary repetition to make it seem like an epic classic.  I’ll bet you can think of examples.”

6. Tell Me What You See (I find this one pretty unremarkable, so much so in fact that I always forget it even exists. I think it’s the singing: John and Paul both sound like they aren’t putting a whole lot of effort into it, especially in the verses. The bits when they sing the title are actually pretty okay, but the best and really only interesting part of the song, for me, is the humming at the end. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad song, it’s just…. not a very good one.)

7. Eight Days A Week (Hackwork monotony at it’s finest, it’s just so much of nothing. ‘BFS’ hits a massive dip with this at the end. The handclaps provide some interest, very slight, and it’s never good when the handclaps are the only highlight).

8. I Wanna Be Your Man (I feel bad for harping on the Ringo songs but like it’s just not good. At least the Stones’ version has some sort of style to it– but this version is just bland and uninteresting. The vocal work that Ringo does is not good and really monotonous. The only parts I really enjoy are where Paul and John come in with the backing vocals during the chorus. Also, the repetitive and uninteresting lyrics don’t help the case of this song at all.)

9. She’s A Woman (Lyrics sound like they were dashed off as filler for the single, which seems to be verified by Paul’s and John’s comments on the song. Hasty recording session shows in the poor sonic quality.  Don’t particularly like Paul’s Little Richard here, which sounds weak and watery, almost sickly. I do like the chunky guitar and the piano backing.)       

10. Your Mother Should Know (it lasts for 149 seconds and 120 of those I spend wanting the song to end. It’s just so boring. Nothing happens and my God how the lyrics are crap, and that’s before Paul starting dah-dahing. There is nothing to save this song from being dull.)

11. She’s Leaving Home – zzzzzzz. Boring orchestration boring melody. The only good part is John’s response on the chorus. Subject bores me, lyrics bore me.

12. Magical Mystery Tour (Every time I hear this song I just cringe so hard. Sure it has some energy but its only purpose is to introduce the MMT EP like how Pepper had its intro, but at least Pepper’s intro had cool instrumental and guitar parts and good vocals and a cool character element to it which makes it actually listenable as a song in itself, whereas MMT is just 3 minutes of annoying insubstantial garbage that I just don’t care for at all)

13. Matchbox – I used to really enjoy it, but now I find it to be flatlined and boring in its tone.  Ringo can be more monotoned in his singing, and this is probably that to it’s fullest.
