All Ive Got To Do always been one of my favourite to sing along to with my fake Liverpewl accent (grandpa was from liverpool tho)

the only ones i really love are Twist and Shout and Anna (Go to Him)

but the only ones that id say are actually subpar or useless are the Chuck/Richard ones and Mr Moonlight. rest are middling to moderately enjoyable

ive been revisiting early Beatles this past week and I definitely have more of an appreciation from it now than i did when i first listened years ago. because of the knowledge/context i have of the rhythm and blues/early rock/etc. music that i didn't have before

for some reason im not huge on any version of You Really Got a Hold On Me tbh

cant really do a top ten beatles comparing early song to later or even middle tbh

If I Fell and Things We Said Today are the gems of Hard Days Night imo

the night before s tier too

i consider that song and the bbs “girl don’t tell me” the birth of power pop

Love Me Do sound power poppy as f*** to me yeah i read the wiki and learned nothing i didnt already know obviously

ithaka

5y

mmmm sure but night before sounds even more like it

Elric

you just said "sure" confirming that Love Me Do is the birth of power pop even if Night Before took it further why do you try and act like you dont like the beatles again?

ithaka

5y

because there’s enough people that will talk about the beatles for years on earth and keep praising them as greatest of all everything ever

if i hadnt made the bbs thread no one else would’ve

ithaka

5y

man im not a walking book i don’t have all the answers - if people that made the power pop scene in the 70s all will claim love me do as the start and im alone mentioning night before then it is what it is, from my experience i just feel like night before put the seeds more of what makes power pop what it is where love me do it’s there but it’s not all the dna yet - not as upbeat, im just talking off of my pov

cant wait till you realize Ray Davies is Brians equal

choking butterfly is an amazing user and ive put him onto the bbs love you and he thinks the album is AMAZING - im just saying if that wasn’t for me no one else would have ever recommend him that album in his life on ktt, on god lets not kid ourselves here

but there’s a billion of ktt users who will talk about beatles white album (yikes) for days as the greatest piece of recording everyday will get people into it and think of the album as such without being challenged

ithaka

no brian is the only one i will legitimately call a genuis
