Song Ranking + Best Song | Page 2 | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

I do think that “No Reply ” is a good opener to the album, given the darker tone of the album comparative to the previous albums released. I don’t quite agree that “I’m A Loser ” should be the opener given it’s really depressing and deals with more personal tones comparative with “No Reply ” which is more in the lines with the topic of love, which the Fab Four really discussed aplenty on their previous albums.

Again, feel free to disagree with me and explain why “Mr Moonlight ” should be the album opener.

Side note: I do like “Mr Moonlight ” quite a bit, but I think it’s mid tier. Apologies to fans of this song

Ok so here we go let’s sees

14) Honey Don’t – Ringo’s country music has always hit me the wrong way. no originality value on it at all. 1/10

13) What You’re Doing – awful vocal melodies, that seem to be either singed incoherently, or just on an entirely different scale as the instrumental. 3/10

12) I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party – I enjoy the fast pace, but I don’t think it is memorable at all, it had been done, and it had been done better. by other people and them as well. 4/10

11) Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby – a no brainer, with some obnoxious vocal melodies. I can appreciate the rock and roll stops throughout. 4/10

10) Eight Days A Week – honestly I don’t see why this song is so beloved. taking into account The Beatles where already three records in, this is far from their best material. the lyrics and melody are just cheesy and generic, even if it is one of the best produced tracks on the album. 4/10

9) Every Little Thing – I can vibe to it in the right mood, but I think it could’ve used some riffs and distractions, I feel it might be a little redundant. 5/10

8) No Reply – Paul’s vocal ad-libs shine enough to hide John’s lack of effort. it is memorable enough, I’ll say that. 6/10

7) Words Of Love – one of their most decent covers. it is not their highest point on the album, but the melodies out-do Buddy Holly’s version in my opinion. 6/10

6) Mr. Moonlight – I used to have this one lower but lately I’ve found myself enjoying it a lot, pretty damn good. 6/10

5) Kansas City / Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey – I think I never had paid much attention to this track until I had to do this list. honestly I’m impressed, it is a very decent rock tune, it is plain and simple but also feels refreshing. 7/10

4) Rock And Roll Music – a personal favourite of mine, I like the energy, the vocals, and the plain instrumental. might be derivative, maybe so, but it embodies a very virginal yet fun type of rock hysteria and I enjoy it a lot. 7/10

3) I’m A Loser – John’s performance is great, the melody is original and it overall feels focused. 7/10

2) Baby’s In Black – I love the melody, and the pace and energy make it to me a big bright spot of originality in the album. compositionally it works in many levels and it is sorely underrated, in the case of early Beatles era. 7/10

1) I’ll Follow The Sun – I prefer it over Yesterday . to me one of the most beautiful acoustic pieces Paul has composed and it is very much endeering. excellent sharp lyrics, vocal melodies polishes af, and an original vibe that predicts Rubber Soul . 8/10
