With the Beatles. It’s longer and it has some really excellent cover songs like Devil In Her Heart and Money (That’s What I Want).
Agreed!
Julian or Sean?
Hm. I’m going to have to go with Sean because I’ve listened to more of his music and generally am more familiar with him. Plus he has great taste in clothes.
Singing: Yoko or Linda?
It verges from the sublime to the ridiculote

Offline Probably Yoko. Linda has a very nice voice but I haven’t really heard her on her own, she’s always singing with Paul.
George’s hair: 1964 or 1965?

Offline Strawberry Fields Forever . It was the first Beatles song I ever heard, and I’ve always liked darker, creepier songs over more upbeat ones.
Revolution or Revolution 1 ?
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Offline ERRGGGGHHHH I’m going to have to go with Revolution 1 , because it was my anthem when I was like eight and I have a bit of an sentimental attachment to it. (Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to choose.)

Both superb, groundbreaking songs/records/singles, but “She Loves You ” has the more compelling lyric, so it wins (THIS TIME)
Paul’s crap trumpet on “Northern Song” vs. John’s crap saxophone mouthpiece on “Helter Skelter “?
One day, a tape-op got a tape on backwards, he went to play it, and it was all "Neeeradno-undowarrroom" and it was "Wow! Sounds Indian!"

Offline John on Helter Skelter , purely because I like the song more.
The Sgt Pepper or White Album 50th Anniversary Remaster/ Reissue? This includes all the bonuses and whatnot.
Helter Skelter or I Want You (She’s So Heavy)
Feel free to answer the other if you like, but I realised I wanted to ask the latter question more
“While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I’m a naysayer and hatchet man in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I’ll gladly take another - because I choose to live my life in the company of Ghandi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love. I love you, Sheriff Truman.”

Offline Helter Skelter . I’m widely known for not liking IWYSSH and HS is a much more reasonable length.

Offline Movie: AHDN . A solid movie with wonderful camerawork and subtle humour. And the boys are looking amazing
Album: Help . It’s my favourite in their early era, with beautiful melodies that feels like summer breeze. I love almost every song.
Rubber Soul or Revolver ?

Offline Ohhhhh what a very impossible question… I’ll go with Rubber Soul because it’s perfection. It’s like the quintessential Beatles album. I love it. (Also it was George’s favorite 😉 )
Hey Bulldog or I Will ?

Offline Hey Bulldog . I Will is a lovely song, but Hey Bulldog is one of their best rock songs and has aged really well, plus the solo is amazing.
Yellow Submarine (song) or Octopus’s Garden ?

Offline YS is one of the great Beatleproductions, and OG is kinda second-hand in that regard. But it’s a better song, adding wistfulness to the whimsy. So, Octopus it is.

…A-side or B-side?
GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

Offline A-side. Both songs are masterpieces, but I Want To Hold Your Hand is much more iconic and frankly is a better song.
Martha or Corky?

Dig A Pony or Sun King ?

Offline Dig A Pony – I think it’s generally underrated, and a great song in the Apple Rooftop performance.
Considering the songs (rather than the films of the same names), A Hard Day’s Night or Help ! ?
