Yes, the Velvet Underground and Stooges definitely would be a violation of the
Ordnung. It’s not easy being Amish.

I agree, Pet_Sounds - George’s songwriting blossomed on
Rubber Soul and “Think For Yourself” has very interesting chord patterns, as many of George’s songs do. I also like Paul’s fuzz bass (and regular bass beneath the fuzz) on the track. I’m always attentive to Paul’s bass in Beatles songs. “If I Needed Someone” is another great George track.
Every song is great on
RS - except for “Run For Your Life” imho. Ending the album with that song really mars the album for me.

"Nowhere Man" is amazing, with great some background vocals by Paul and George. I like "Girl" musically but not so much thematically - John groveling to some femme fatale, lol.

I definitely see what you see in
Let It Be.
E.
g., “Don’t Let Me Down” is one of my favorite songs of all time, even though the
Get Back documentary wore me out of it for hours on end.
