Good one, ribbons! That's a role you could probably manage more convincingly - though you'd have to renounce a lot of your music collection, full of that devilish rock music, etc etc.

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

Definitely in the minority in it being the #1 favourite... but it's an absolute banger. I feel like George really began to come into his own as a songwriter on Rubber Soul.

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.

Agree it's a great song. I'd rate it after Girl and Nowhere Man myself.

"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.

The “wet hen” of the coven - not far off the mark, 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. :) |
