Agree about Maxwell’s and Come Together, and “wagon wheel” what a great song, thanks, learned a lot about it from your post, it has been a part of a few sing-alongs I’ve been at.
So much Beatle lore— the fact that John took way more LSD than Paul did, just a huge impact. he thought revolution number 9, which he wrote with Yoko, was the direction the Beatles sound should be going in. To me “I want you (she’s so heavy)” is a waste of vinyl. Should never have been on a Beatles record. on the other hand “ she said she said” us one of my favorite Beatles songs.
Beatles favs: "The End" sequence ... "Please, Please Me" (a fantastic pop song) ... "Help!" ... "Because" (the harmonies!) ... all of "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" ... "Here Comes the Sun" (one of the sweetest songs of all time). Least favs: "Yellow Submarine" ... "Honey Pie" ... "She's Leaving Home" (a dreadful song).
