georgia003 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 what's your favorite Beatles song ... or if you're like me and find it too difficult to pick one ... you can pick several I really like I Saw Her Standing There and the Lennon cover of Twist & Shout are some of my favs ... also later songs like Let It Be are great too.
Jorge Gorgeous Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 It changes every so often... Girl... or I've Just Seen a Face right now.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 I'll narrow it down to three. Things We Said Today, She's Leaving Home and Penny Lane.
Ketamine Disaster Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Yesterday, I'm So Tired, and Got to Get You Into My Life are all close.
Guest Jesus Freaks on Coke Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 We should spice up this thread a little by trying to predict each other's favorite Beatles songs. Then we can report on whether or not we were correctly guessed. Make a chain or something. luke-o is a goofy-looking guy who likes a lot of crappy, but very quirkily British, artists. He's into horror movies, and probably irritates a lot of people with whom he surrounds himself. He's also a bit of a puzzling chap, so after all of that, his favorite Beatles song being "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" would just make way too much sense. Luke-o's favorite Beatles song is "What Goes On."
Nighthawk Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 My favorite Beatles song is a George Harrison tune... can you guess which one?
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 My favorite Beatles song is a George Harrison tune... can you guess which one? Tomorrow Never Knows is a title that might fit you.
King Kamala Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 I'm going to make a wild guess with "Piggies"
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Shoot. I got my titles mixed up. I'm thinking of Within You Without You.
Guest Jesus Freaks on Coke Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Trick question. You don't like the Beatles. King Kamala Classic likes things simple and piano-oriented. His favorite song is "Sexy Sadie." Amnesia Glasscock relishes the opportunity to really rock out and play air guitar in his bedroom. His favorite: "Helter Skelter."
Copper Feel Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Orchestral flourishes appeal to The Czech Republic, as he is well versed in classical music itself. He also has a strong pro-McCartney bias. His favourite song by The Beatles is "Eleanor Rigby".
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Czech, had I not shown my hand, what song would you have guessed?
Nighthawk Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Trick question. You don't like the Beatles. You know very well I do. The correct answer was "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".
Copper Feel Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Amnesia Glasscock relishes the opportunity to really rock out and play air guitar in his bedroom. His favorite: "Helter Skelter." Not too far off, "Fixing a Hole" is my favourite. I would have predicted "I am the Walrus" as being Milky's favourite Beatles song.
King Kamala Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Trick question. You don't like the Beatles. King Kamala Classic likes things simple and piano-oriented. His favorite song is "Sexy Sadie." I'm indifferent towards that one. But your approach isn't terribly far off. My favorite is "For No One" I could have sworn I heard Milky say his favorite Beatles song was "Fool On The Hill" but maybe I was confusing that with him saying that was the song that describes him the best.
Guest Jesus Freaks on Coke Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 alkeiper is a guy who appreciates solid craftsmanship, and that holds true for songwriting just as much as, say, a desk, or breast implants in a favorite porn star. His favorite song can't be some gimmicky George Harrison sitar shit, or John Lennon dicking around with tape loops. Nothing too fast, too slow, too short, or too long, just a good solid Beatles tune that can safely be anyone's favorite. "Let It Be." I don't like "Sexy Sadie" either, and I do like "For No One" a lot. We could be twins.
Nighthawk Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Your second statement was correct, Kamala, but I was speaking somewhat hyperbolically... but yes, while "Fool On the Hill" would likely be a good theme song for me, it's not even my favorite song on MMT. That would be "Strawberry Fields Forever".

Your reasoning is absolutely on the right track, though I personally am not a big fan of that particular song.
King Kamala Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 I want this to be a running thread, Czech guesses TSM regulars' favorite *insert legendary rock band* song. I may be the only who thinks this but this is the best thread to hit The Music Folder in weeks if not months.
Nighthawk Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 As long as it involves someone talking about me, I'd like to see it.
Guest Jesus Freaks on Coke Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 I want this to be a running thread, Czech guesses TSM regulars' favorite *insert legendary rock band* song. I may be the only who thinks this but this is the best thread to hit The Music Folder in weeks if not months. If anything, it sounds like it'll do better than my big planned thread for tonight, "Great Moments in Synthesizer History." Once you get past the opening of "Jump" and "Summer Madness" from about :40 to :55, then what?
The Ghost of bps21 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 We need a new thread titled "Czech tells you what you like" or something like it.
Guest Jesus Freaks on Coke Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 How could you forget "Cars"!? I don't like that song. "The Final Countdown" would be on there (all of it!), as well as the snippet of Paul Lansky's seminal composition "Mild und Liese" which ultimately gave birth to Radiohead's "Idioteque."
King Kamala Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 I didn't take that into consideration. I figured you didn't like Prince, otherwise I would have listed "1999"
