I would have to go for “Steel And Glass “, sharp and scathing, feels like John Lennon indeed.
John Lennon dismissal quotes: “Hey Bulldog ” – A good sounding record that means nothing ; “And Your Bird Can Sing ” – And Your Bird Can Sing ? Another one of my throwaways
Side note: I’m sure this is an odd selection listed, but I would very much be interested to know which one the folks here pick.

Offline And Your Bird Can Sing . It’s my favorite song on Revolver –great guitar riff, so refreshing and energetic and I will fight anyone that regards it as “a throwaway” (I’m talking to you John
)

Offline When I’m 64, if only for Paul’s belief that children born around the turn of the millennium would be called Vera, Chuck and Dave. That being said, it is a lovely song.
Revolution 1 or Revolution (i.e. the b-side)?

Offline “Revolution ” would be my pick. Whilst, I do think that “Revolution 1 ” is a nice ditty, nothing quite compares to “Revolution “. Perhaps my main reason being that the bluesy, distorted feel of “Revolution ” better encapsulates what the lyrics are intended for in the first place.
Also, it might just be me, but I occasionally forget that this song exists.
Battle of the singles: “Get Back ” b/w “Don’t Let Me Down ” or “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” b/w “This Boy “

Offline While i don’t think much of I Want To Hold Your Hand , This Boy is easily one of their best pre-Rubber Soul songs so i’ll have to go with this combo.
Your least favorite canon Beatles album or your favorite Ringo album?

Offline Least favorite canon Beatles album. Sorry, Ringo, but Let It Be is really good.
Battle Of The Singles Continued: Hey Jude /Revolution or Strawberry Fields Forever /Penny Lane ?
Love one another.

Offline Strawberry Fields Forever /Penny Lane . They’re both amazing songs, and whenever I’m away from Liverpool, I like to listen to them as they remind me of home (In My Life has the same effect).
Favourite Ringo song: Yellow Submarine or Octopus’s Garden ?

Offline Whilst “Yellow Submarine ” is a great song on my favorite album (by anyone really), I will have to pick “Octopus’s Garden ” instead. Mainly because out of the selection given earlier, I feel “Octopus’s Garden ” is the more Ringo song mainly because it’s written by Ringo himself. Another reason being, I really like George’s work on this song.
Battle of the Singles (continued): “Lady Madonna ” b/w “The Inner Light ” or “I Feel Fine ” b/w “She’s A Woman “
Side note: May I know if there are any threads on this fine forum discussing the various singles by the Fab Four themselves? If not, perhaps I shall set one up. If so, then wonderful.

Offline The 1968 release, this is mainly due to The Inner Light , which is one of the greatest pieces of music ever (and it was a B-side…)
Ram or All Things Must Pass ?

Offline I will have to pick “All Things Must Pass “. I’m not too familiar with solo Beatle records, but I have heard both and I have to go with the George one. “My Sweet Lord ” is a classic in all aspects, and the others are very good as well, though not as iconic.

Offline I Saw Her Standing There all the way. There’s no better opening to any debut album than Paul’s “One-two-three-phwoar!”
On CakeMaestor’s options on “Granny Rockers”, assuming they’re referring to John’s jibe, I would have gone for YMSK as GDS doesn’t fit the category. GDS was an incredibly up-to-date song at the time, and ground-breaking. First time I’ve ever seen it referred as an an example of Paul’s “Granny” music.
BBC – Soldier of Love or That’s All Right (Mama)?

Offline I’ve heard Good Day Sunshine referred to as a ‘granny-rocker’ either, although there is a website that ranks it as the worst Beatles song. OOAA.
Solider of Love is a brilliant, brilliant song. So that one.
Would you rather see (and hear) The Beatles in concert, or be in the recording studio with them whilst they create one of their masterpieces?

Offline I think I would rather hear the Fab Four themselves in concert. Something about their live performances just have the greatest chemistry and rawness to it. The other option is not bad either.
Saddest Paul McCartney Moment: Paul ‘cried for about a year’ when Linda died, or Paul being depressed and crying like a baby for many weeks and considering quitting music forever when the Beatles broke up.

He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

Offline I would have to go with Bowie. Given Bowie’s longtime relationship with John, and the fact that he has recorded another John-centric Beatles song in his catalog, for me it was an easy choice.
Cute Ringo looks:
1) Ringo With Glasses
2) Smile-Wink Ringo
I must simply apologize if the pictures are too big and that it clutters up the sub-thread. Apologies.
