Strawberry Fields came out as a single months before Sgt. Pepper and the band wanted it on the album but Martin refused. He acknowledged later that it was one of the best things they did and it would have got way more exposure if it's was on Pepper (very few compilations had it for decades)

Lennon's vocals here

*Good Morning Good Morning and When I’m 64

No just Strawberry Fields. Can't remember what he said should've got bounced (if anything)

Where do you think it would have been on the album? Like it would be interesting to revisit to it with that on there.

yes I recanted my statement. Still don't LOVE Rita but it's better than the 2 between

Both good

side 2 needs a buff with the stinkers gone

The ‘20s homage at 0:09

Didn’t know it had any haters. I know a guy who despises McCartney but thinks that song is undeniably good.

early ‘70s solo Paul

So good. Dear Boy might be my favorite on there.

But if I had a choice between them or fields and Penny?

Not hate but it's definitely lazy as f***. They didn't even write verses let alone a bridge '65 Beedles would never and '68 Beedles would at least make it tear ass like Why Don't We Do It In The Road

Best? It’s kinda just a standard homage to doo-wop with some classical piano thrown in

Best insane

You guys seem to think that something needs to be innovative or complex for it to be good. Sometimes a simple straightforward song can be better than a 20 minute barrage of noise.

How would you rank that song against Silly Love Songs?

I never said it was his best. I said one of his best. Meaning it’s a favorite of mine. I like listening to it. It’s nice.

Also a great song. Sticking it to that wannabe revolutionary Lennon.

No need to throw strays at Sister Ray for no reason

Never sounded very doo wop to me tbh

20 min barrage of noise? This is Paul McCartney we’re talking about here, not Michael Gira
