Introducing Others To The Beatles | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

Last Friday, I was at a friend’s house (we carpool from school), and we were playing songs for each other on his speakers (plugging the speaker cord into our phones and picking things, switching every two songs or so), because we have somewhat different musical tastes, both liking some things, others not so much. Before then, there were some Beatles songs he knew and liked, a few of which were Helter Skelter , Back In The USSR , and Drive My Car . Well, then I played through all of Revolver , EXCEPT Yellow Submarine and Eleanor Rigby , which he knew already. It turns out he at least liked everything on the album, which he said was pretty rare, liking all the songs on a studio album. His three favorites were Taxman , She Said She Said , and Tomorrow Never Knows (much to my surprise – I expected him to hate that last one like I used to. He called it “weird – in a good way.”) I got a ways into Rubber Soul as well, and he at least liked everything except Michelle , which was the first thing the whole day I skipped besides YS and ER. If we do this again, I’m thinking I’ll try for Abbey Road . 

Ahhh! Thanks for that, @Mr. Kite.

I should have done a more thorough search. I just searched “friends” under topic titles.

Are there people who do not like She Said She Said and Tomorrow Never Knows ? Absolutely great songs.

I didn’t think he’d like TNK because he doesn’t like Strawberry Fields, Lucy In…, or I think I Am The Walrus . Basically, he doesn’t seem to like psychedelic songs. @Zig, I’ll be sure to keep you posted, but who knows if I’ll ever get the chance again? (Although my friend does know Something and Here Comes The Sun – I THINK he likes them.)
