Sorry I haven’t been on lately, finishing my final assignments for University. I’ll post 10 songs tomorrow (#30-#21)

Offline Okay I’m back! Got 10 today instead of the 5 I was gonna do. I have realised I have left a song out that was mean’t to be at #62…
How did I look over this??? Gah. Sorry, When I Get Home . You’re out. Anyway, Within You Without You is the only Indian-George song to make the list. It’s my 3rd favourite on Sgt. Pepper ‘s and I think it’s one of their best psychedelic numbers. I REALLY like the lyrics to this one. Sure, the lyrics aren’t too much but what is there is fab. I think it’s only a shame that George got one number on Sgt. Pepper ‘s as Only A Northern Song could have replaced When I’m Sixty-Four , She’s Leaving Home or Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! and I wouldn’t have been too upset at all.
Back on the normal list now
30. Day Tripper
Can anyone yell out “RIFF”?!?! Another influential little number, Day Tripper was recorded during the Rubber Soul sessions and released around the same time as a double A-side with We Can Work It Out . While the latter may have been more popular at the time, Day Tripper is the more popular number now getting a decent amount of rotation on my local rock station. It’s not lyrically amazing, but I like the lyrics. But for me the riff is the best feature. Imagine if We Can Work It Out and Day Tripper were on Rubber Soul instead of Michelle and What Goes On … guess it’s like Revolver with Paperback Writer and Rain .
29. It Won’t Be Long
The highest placing song from 1963, It Won’t Be Long is just an amazing rock and roll number. I guess I can’t explain why I have put this higher than some of the songs I’ve talked about recently, but man I love this song. The first time I heard it I was amazed. I didn’t have too much faith in their pre-AHDN music so hearing a song of this caliber was essential for me. Featuring the “yeah’s” of She Loves You , It Won’t Be Long was never a single but it is still fairly well known as it is the first song on With the Beatles.
28. Got To Get You Into My Life
The 4th highest placed song from Revolver , Got To Get You Into My Life is my favourite Macca number from the album. Featuring a stellar bassline and some in-your-face horns, GTGYIML is a favourite of mine. I probably hear this on the radio more than Eleanor Rigby , Taxman or Yellow Submarine which is a nice surprise. I have a thing for McCartney’s vocals on this one. Listen to how melodic they are. I feel he was really in his zone here, it’s not really a rock song at all so he gets to be as melodic as possible.
27. No Reply
The 2nd song down from my Holy Trinity of Beatles for Sales numbers, No Reply is the most kick ass opener ever. A huge step in songwriting since A Hard Day’s Night , No Reply is a relatively depressing song about not having your girl reply but you know she’s hearing your messages (sort of like Facebook before Facebook!). I really admire the structure of this song, it’s John experimenting a little bit but keeping it commercial. I wish this was the single instead of Eight Days A Week but that was almost written as a single, while this was written to impress.
26. You Won’t See Me
My 3rd highest placed song from Rubber Soul , You Won’t See Me was an instant favourite of mine. When I started putting this list together, this was quite a bit higher. I can’t say I have disliked it any more, in fact I probably like it a little more, but I think putting it higher than songs like Strawberry Fields Forever and Tomorrow Never Knows was a little strange. This song is musically perfect. The song has one of the best flows I have ever heard in a song. What really gets me is the delivery and the lyrics. It’s influenced by girls and most likely Paul and his love for marijuana as it feels like a song he could have written while high.
25. Long, Long, Long
Bet no one expected to see this so high on a list! Long, Long, Long for me is one of Harrison’s finest moments. It’s placement on the White Album is a bit unfortunate really as it is just after Helter Skelter . And as we all know, this song is quite the opposite. Possibly their quietest song ever recorded, the song is pioneered by George’s very quiet but effective vocal, quietly strummed acoustic guitar and the rhythm section from heaven. Seriously, Ringo’s work on this is AWESOME. And it has one of the best coda’s in history, even if it hurts your ears because the rest of the song has been so quiet that your music device is on full volume.
24. Fixing A Hole
My 2nd highest place song from Sgt. Pepper ‘s and 2nd highest from 1967 overall, Fixing A Hole for me is the most underrated song from that era. I can’t believe how overlooked this song is. It’s powered by a great harpsichord riff with some bass and drum work. And that guitar could cut through glass. The lyrics are quite trippy and they could be quite explicitly about drugs if you have that mindset, but they could also be simply about.. Fixing A Hole . In a very trippy way. When I first listened to the album, this song stood out as a favourite and my opinion hasn’t changed.
23. I’m A Loser
And the final song from my Holy Trinity, I’m A Loser is Bob Dylan. Seriously, this could have been on one of his first few albums. While still a love song, this song really talks about John and how he feels instead of the girl. The lyrics are actually quite complex for 1964 and I really like them. Possibly my favourite thing about this song is the harmonica solo leading up to the “guitar solo” which is the only thing for me that could be improved on. But I guess George could only have done a few things with a John folk song so I don’t blame him for not pulling out an A+ performance.
OH NO! Strawberry Fields outside of the top 20? I think of Strawberry Fields Forever as a top 20 song like I have with the last few, it just missed out on a placing in there because every coming song is SLIGHTLY better. No one can deny how great this song is though. John’s masterpiece, this song was recorded in the latter quarter of 1966 and released early 1967. It is one of the first pure psychedelic rock songs ever and is a great combination of commercialism and experimentation. My absolute favourite moment in this song is around the 1 minute mark where the edit takes place and the violins suddenly come in and we are treated with a full on orchestra. I feel this deserves to be classed as one of the greatest all songs of all time, although I can think of 21 more 
21. I Me Mine
My favourite song from Let It Be is a George number (Ha!). Their only song purely recorded in 1970, I Me Mine is an amazing song. A little repetitive, the song was around 1:40 long and Phil Spector extended the mix by repeating a section. But who cares, it’s one of George’s greatest songs! A stand out point for me is the mixture of the quiet acoustic verses against the hard rocking guitar freak out choruses. Seriously, that guitar work. It’s nothing extraordinary but it is REALLY good.
Next time I’ll give you guys 5, I’m sure it will work out but we never know for tomorrow.

@nzbeatlefan Now I’m getting confused, as you have this entry:
Our final Harrisong for around 6 songs is the masterpiece from Sgt. Pepper‘s, Within You Without You. I see a lot of people put this as their least favourite song from the Sgt Pepper album, and at that I scratch my head at that. This song is everything great about the 1967 psychedelic Revolution . It has some great lyrics and is accompanied by some great sitar playing and great vocals. Fun fact: George was the only one playing on this record from the Beatles.
So, I take is When I Get Home still 100? Or should a different song be at 68?
Within You Without You can’t be 68 and 62!

Old Brown Shoe was #62.
62. Old Brown Shoe
One of the Beatles finest B-sides, Old Brown Shoe has slipped through the cracks over time even though it was on 1967-1970. A Harrison number, he played all guitar and bass parts as well as singing it. I don’t like the production on the vocals for this one, it almost sounds like he is singing into a corner just after he has eaten $30 of McDonalds. However, everything else about it is spot on. The bass is INSANE, and that guitar solo… well I previously mentioned that it’s my favourite solo along with Good Morning Good Morning and Something . A truly great song.
So where does that go if ‘Within You, Without You’ is #62 – or is it #68 now?
If ‘Fixing A Hole ‘ is the “2nd highest place song from Sgt. Pepper‘s and 2nd highest from 1967 overall” at #24 is there no ‘A Day In The Life ‘ as ‘Strawberry Fields Forever ‘ is at #22 which makes it the highest placed song from 1967? A Beatles top 100 with no ‘ADITL’?

Offline @meanmistermustard I’m thinking @nzbeatlefan’s next post may begin something like “Oops!”
In 68 (Within You Without You) he says there’s another George song at 62 (“Our final Harrisong for around 6 songs…”), so just what he says will happen happens.
Seems NZ lost track a little.
NZ, was also a bit surprised to read All My Loving wasn’t “officially released” in the UK or US (though I realise you mean as a single – at least I hope that’s what you mean!).

Offline @meanmistermustard and @Ron Nasty here comes the oops!!!!
I was looking at my list and I saw than Within You Without You was #62 on my list and #68… I don’t know what the heck happened there! I forgot I actually put on the list or something. Leave it as it was with WYWY at #68 and When I Get Home at #100.
And Fixing A Hole is the 3rd highest song from 1967 and 2nd highest song from Sgt. Pepper ‘s. I should stop posting when I am severely tired :O Yes, ADITL is going to make an appearance but will it be #1?
And yes I also mean All My Loving was never a single, although oddly it was the last song I actually got on With the Beatles as my friend “deleted it” when he gave me the album!

Enjoying the list and looking forward to the latter stages. Tho ‘No Reply ‘ at #27. That’s 26 below where it would go on mine, tho an improvement on the placing of ‘I Am The Walrus ‘ which is out by 70.

Offline Today marks a milestone – we enter the top 20. I don’t think I can stress how much I love these next 20 songs, for me they are essentially the top 20 songs ever written by anyone. We explore psychedelia, folk, prog, ballads, hard rock, rock and roll and experimentation. From now on, we get 5 songs a day.
20. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
Although clearly a Lennon song, this song for me was made by George Harrison . What was a Run Of The Mill folk song was turned into proto-psychedelia by adding George and his sitar. This song is the second song of side one on Rubber Soul . Written by John Lennon with a little help from Paul, Norwegian Wood has become a fan favourite and their second most famous song from the album behind In My Life . The lyrics describe an affair and boy was John good at hiding it! I think if this song was released as a single it would have been a big song for them as it was something different, and the Beatles could do no wrong at that point! It’s definitely a precursor to what was to come on Revolver .
The quintessential psychedelic song, Tomorrow Never Knows was the first song recorded for Revolver but it sounds like it could have been the last. Why do I say that? It sounds far closer to the Sgt. Pepper ‘s era than the Rubber Soul era. This song is just weird an it has just one chord that provides a drone throughout the song. The lyrics refer to taking an acid trip and I believe John picked up some of the lyrics from a book he was reading at the time (?). The title is not actually mentioned in the song, and it was one of those funny sayings that Ringo seemed to say quite a bit. There is a sweet backwards guitar solo in it and the manipulation on the tape loops is really done and bloody clever.
We now move from two songs that broke new ground to a song that didn’t really do that, but is still a very creative song never the less. We Can Work It Out was released as a double sided single with Day Tripper in December 1965, on the same day as the release of Rubber Soul . From the outside, WCWIO is a pretty normal song about love. It features song of Macca’s most upbeat lyrics before being rudely interrupted by John. This is my favourite part in the song. We have Paul with his happy lyrics with some happy chords, then when John comes in and we modulate to some darker chords and a complete time signature change! How creative is that. This was a huge song for them and is still pretty well known because of it’s inclusion on 1.
Definitely one of the more controversial numbers in my top 20, You Can’t Do That flat out rocks. In fact, I could go as far as calling it garage rock or even proto-punk. A very angry Lennon rocker, this song was originally the B-side to Can’t Buy Me Love and then was released on A Hard Day’s Night . The song is a threat to a girl who pretty much embarrasses Lennon by being with another guy. I really like the lyrics. I love the tone that John presents them in too, he was really in his zone (I always thought he was a better angry/emotional songwriter than “I love you” etc). The guitars definitely have an edge to them and John provides a great solo if not too technically amazing. One of the most underrated songs in history.
Well we may as well continue the trend of songs from the same album. A Hard Day’s Night is AMAZING. Both the album and the title track. We all know how this song starts with everyone in the room strumming a chord on a piano, bass or guitar and then confusing the minds of every listener for years to come. Then we launch into one of their few stabs at Mod. I love the tempo of this song, it feels like it’s going to keep going on forever. This is another one of those songs where we have a primary writer but then the other adds a little bit to it. You can hear this by John singing most of it but then Paul chucking in the bridge. This is the only song pre-1965 that the radio here in New Zealand ever plays from the fab four which is irritating as they had some other great stuff too!!
Next time we visit one final song from A Hard Day’s Night , and the final two songs from Revolver . Guesses anyone?

Piggies ?
So far we’ve had ‘Savoy Truffle ‘ (#34) and ‘Long, Long, Long ‘ and taking into consideration nzbeatlefan’s earlier comment of “there are three George songs from the White Album to come” that leaves one George track remaining from that album to appear. I’d be amazed if it wasn’t ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps ‘, i’d be even more surprised if ‘Piggies ‘ was in the top 15 regardless.
Re. the two ‘Revolver ‘ tracks a bit of detective work. nzbf says that ‘Doctor Robert ‘ (at #90) is “the first of eight songs to make an appearance from Revolver ” and is “better than Harrison’s two deep cuts (Love You To /I Want To Tell You ), Yellow Submarine and better than three of Paul’s most celebrated numbers (Here, There And Everywhere /For No One /Good Day Sunshine ).” so we can rule all of those rule out. Of the other tracks gone by are ‘Eleanor Rigby ‘ (#34), ‘And Your Bird Can Sing ‘ (#52), ‘I’m Only Sleeping ‘ (#44), ‘Got To Get You Into My Life ‘, and ‘Tomorrow Never Knows ‘ (#19). Therefore by the process of elimination the two remaining tracks are ‘Taxman ‘ and ‘She Said, She Said’.
As for the track from ‘A Hard Day’s Night ‘, the more obvious tracks ‘Can’t Buy Me Love ‘, ‘If I Fell ‘ ‘I Should Have Known Better ‘ and ‘A Hard Day’s Night ‘ itself have all come and gone whilst ‘And I Love Her ‘ is described as ‘the worst on the album’ so won’t be appearing. Also gone are ‘When I Get Home ‘, ‘Any Time At All ‘, ‘I’ll Be Back ‘ and ‘You Can’t Do That ‘. From the tracks that remain (‘I’m Happy Just To Dance With You ‘, ‘Tell Me Why ‘, I’ll Cry Instead ‘ & ‘Things We Said Today ‘) i’ll opt for ‘Things We Said Today ‘.
Who said “guesses anyone?”?

Offline Great detective work, @meanmistermustard !!!!
Oh boy do I love this. This was love at first sight. I got the whole A Hard Day’s Night and I sat down for a listen. Some songs like I Should Have Known Better and If I Fell took me a few listens to appreciate but this one got me straight away. It’s quite complex for the time but is still damn catchy! This song is a precursor to psychedelic music from what I can gather. Listen to the way the vocals are sung and the guitars are played – very trippy. I love the lyrics and melody. It’s so easy! But at the same time, the rhythm in some places can get a little complex but this was a sign of things to come.
14. Taxman
One two three four… one two! Harrison’s only album opener, Taxman was a political statement (I find it funny Harrison had one before Lennon!). Backed by an insanely good bassline and some steady drumming, Taxman kicked off Revolver with style. I love the tone of the guitars in this one, they sting like a bee! Again I like the lyrics of this one and the delivery of them. When I found out that Paul played the solo on this I was a little upset. I expected George to perform it as it is his song, and he was the lead guitarist. I’ve come to terms with Paul being a great lead guitarist now, although hearing George attempt this would have been good. My band is releasing our first single, It’s Hard to Say, and it’s heavily based on Taxman . I will post it here when it gets fully recorded!
13. Paperback Writer
You know what… I could almost write the same review for this number as the previous (okay, only the bassline, drumming, lyrics and vocals). Paperback Writer flat out ROCKS. Written solely by McCartney, the song tells a story of trying to get your book looked at by some publishers (or something like that). Released as a single a few weeks before the release of Revolver , the song is powered by a loud guitar with a great rhythm section backing it. Seriously, dat bass. A really unique music video was filmed for this and Rain and it’s one of my favourite videos of all time. Oh yeah one thing: listen to this in MONO.
The pinnacle from Revolver for me, She Said She Said is one of their very best psychedelic numbers. Written by John Lennon in early 1966, the song is written about Peter Fonda and him rambling on about knowing “what it is like to be dead”. Yeah, Peter is a guy. Good one John! This is always been my favourite song off Revolver and I hate not seeing it in my top 10 but I just couldn’t put anything above it any lower. It’s extremely powerful instrumentally with a great bassline from Harrison. The guitars have a nice ring to them but Ringo steals the show for me here. Who says he is an average drummer? I wish I could drum like that. Or at all really. Bass players forever!
This was my #10 and has been for a while but in hearing another song that was #11 last night I just had to swap it. No offence to this song though, it’s equally as amazing. In fact can’t this and the other song be tied for #10? Anyway, Here Comes The Sun has always been a favourite for me. It’s powered by some beautifully uplifting lyrics and some really good guitar work. Seriously, this is why George is one of the greats. The song is a mix of lots of time signature changes and wouldn’t be out of place on an album from Yes or Emerson Lake and Palmer. It was really ahead of it’s time with the synths used and the clarity of the recording. A truly beautiful song.
Next time you will hear from me I will be delving into the top 10!! Exciting. I’m going to do #10, #9, #8 in one post, then #7 and #6 in another and one song a day for the top 5. I will be back tomorrow with the longest song from Abbey Road and two songs from Help ! (guesses anyone?)

10. I Want You (She’s So Heavy)
This is equally is good as Here Comes The Sun . If I listen to both in a row, I can wholeheartedly say that I appreciate them the same. Why is this #10 and HCTS is #11? I don’t know. I Want You (She’s So Heavy) is the definitive prog masterpiece from the band. The song starts off with a menacing riff that sounds very Black Sabbathy and not very Beatlesque but hey it’s Abbey Road so what do you expect?! The song only has a handful of words in it, every word in the title and “so” “bad” “it’s” “driving” “me” “mad” “yeah”. I don’t care about that though, the rest of the song is too epic to even worry about the word count! Their second longest recording and their longest proper song, the song was written by John Lennon entirely. It’s riff was also sampled in another song from Abbey Road , Because . This is a song that hit me as soon as I heard it. I sat there thinking “this can’t be a Beatles song… it just can’t be”. Same thought I had when I heard Revolution 9 …
How can you follow up the previous epic? Well by another epic that is only 4 and a half minutes shorter! While people may see Ticket To Ride as one of their more straightforward songs now, at the time it was quite out there. Another Lennon number, the song for me is their first proper sign of psychedelia. The lyrics are love related yes, but they also have some ideas that were not so common at the time. The lyrics are actually quite heavy going as well. What’s so out there about this is the music side of things. The drums sound so out of place but at the same time they fit it perfectly (rumour is this was Maccas doing, not Ringos). It’s powered by two riffs, Harrison playing a 12 string and Lennon playing his Stratocaster playing one note creating a drone. That is quite out there for early 1965! Anyway, this was a #1 single for them in the UK and US and has gone down as a classic Beatles track. A true sign of things to come.
We move from one of their first experimentations to one of their most basic numbers. There’s probably a few people sitting here thinking “why is The Night Before above I Am The Walrus , Strawberry Fields Forever or In My Life !?”. I sometimes wonder that myself, but then I hear this song and I realise why I have this so high up. I have a little love affair with this song. It’s nothing extraordinary but it’s one of my favourite songs of all time. This probably comes down to two things: the environment I was in when I first heard this, and the tempo and lyrics of the song. I LOVE the lyrics. They relate to something that happened to me just before I heard this song for the first time (a match made in heaven eh?). It’s backed by a really quick tempo (Ringo and Paul kill it), and we get a great but short solo from George and Paul in unison.
Tomorrow I will post two songs. Both are written by George Harrison and are two of his most celebrated numbers. We find out if @Starr Shine? gets to see her beloved Piggies take out a placing, or whether While My Guitar Gently Weeps will appear like most people assume it will.

Offline ‘Piggies ‘ isn’t one George’s “most celebrated numbers”, it’s generally rated as one of his worst. so i cannot for the life of me see it making an appearance this high. I think there will at least one surprise in the top 7; one that will have half the folk shouting “YYYYEESS!!!!” and the other half staring open mouthed at the screen thinking “what the hell?!!”.
Whilst i wouldn’t have placed ‘The Night Before ‘ so highly its one of those tracks that I don’t think is that great till i play, same as with ‘Another Girl ‘. There is something about the ‘Help !” album in that a good handful of the songs themselves shouldn’t be killers (‘TNB’, ‘AG’, ‘Act Naturally ‘, ‘Tell Me What You See ‘, ‘You Like Me Too Much ‘, ‘It’s Only Love ‘) but play them thru and its an awesome listen.

What a song. George Harrison ‘s second and best song on Rubber Soul , this was heavily influenced by bands like the Byrds (who were influenced by the Beatles anyway!). Deep in side two of the album, this song can easily slip through the cracks and has become a deep track. However, I don’t think I have seen any negative comment about this song. I’ve seen many positive comments about this song, so it must be a favourite. Again, this is a song that could have people scratching their head at how high I have put it. I also have a few great memories of this song, and it was one of the first songs that really hooked me on the Beatles. I really love the 12-string guitar, not just in this song but in general. But this baby got me onto it. I want to own a Rickenbacker 330/12 just so I can play this properly! It’s quite a simple song but it’s bloody well written. The song flows so amazingly and the vocals are on point. Who said George wasn’t a good singer?? His singing in this is fantastic. I wish this would have been a single, I think it could have been big for them.
6. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Yep, sorry @Starr Shine? . Piggies did not make the cut. But this beautiful piece of work did. George’s most celebrated number with the band is a 4 and a half minute song of searing guitars, melodic basslines and haunting vocals. The lyrics don’t make a huge deal of sense in the big picture, but under the right scenario they are very touching. There are two forms to this song that are well known, the slower paced acoustic number on Anthology and the more upbeat hard edged version on the White Album . I love both. The song was released as the B-side to Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da in some countries in early 1969 (really… B-side???). Being on side one of the album, the song gets quite a bit of airplay even though it was never a single in the UK or US. My local classic rock radio station loves to play it but not too often that you don’t get sick of it. I was a little upset (as a George fanatic) to find that Eric Clapton played the solo, but now I realise that maybe only he could have played it. It suits the song perfectly, and it’s not really in George’s style. A haunting piece that well and truly deserves a spot in my top 10.
From now I will be doing a song a day. Hopefully I will be writing a little bit more for each song too. We start with #5 which is also from the White Album , and is one of Lennon’s greatest deep tracks that is a cult classic.

Offline I love this song too………..Curiously I liked it more after hearing this atrocious rendition from George at the Budukan.
His voice is terrible but John and particularly Paul carry him as much as possible. Just nice to see them all pulling for their mate. George gives the others a hard time on occasion ………..This for me shows how they looked out for him.
But George’s song and a great one.

Offline Yeah the Budokan performance is pretty shocking. You can tell no one really wanted to be there, especially George.
I’ve always wandered why they performed Nowhere Man and If I Needed Someone from Rubber Soul on that tour. Would’ve thought Think For Yourself or Drive My Car or The Word as they’re more upbeat and they generally played more upbeat songs live?
