make up your own Beatles lists

[Mary Alice]

best use of John, Paul, and George all singing together

1) If I Needed someone...3 part harmony...damn the voices sound killer. Especially Johns' - there's emotion to his voice and on the album they mixed it just right so that you can actually distinguish his voice...nice to hear him supporting George.
2)This Boy - more 3 part harmony just gorgeous
3)Help - Barely any 3 part harmony but I actually like the parts where Paul and George echo what John is singing. Even when they're singing the same note you can hear both of their voices and it makes it that much stronger, it sounds like they're really supporting John, it's poignant.


runners up - Paperback Writer and Because have pretty harmonies but don't tear me up like the previous 3

yes, 'this boy'........also 'i'll get you',.....
'hold me tight'......'you're going to lose that girl'......

oh, i could go on ALL day. they have the best harmonies of any band EVER. period.

[Mary Alice]

I'll Get You is a really good song :) I still like my choices for 3 part harmonies though.

This one book I read (I often read books about the Beatles on my lunch break at the bookstore, I feel so lame but it's a fun way to pass my lunch break...) said that they thought of "You're Gonna Lose that Girl" as the sequel to "She Loves You". In She Loves you it only hinted at the guy liking the other guy's girlfriend, but in You're Going to Lose that Girl it is explicit. Interesting even though I'm not sure if it was intentional.

anyone want to do a list of favorite Beatles guitar solos? My favorite is the "Something" one but I can't decide on any others.

I like the solo on Whilst My Guitar Gently wheeps....but that was Eric Clapton, so I don't think it counts...

[Polack]

Favorite Beatles solos = Drive my Car, The End, The Organ breaks on Get Back and Let It Be. Billy Preston is the freakin greatest.
