So here are all the songs that couldn’t manage to get a single vote. If you had to save one (there can be only one) from total obscurity, which would it be?
I Want to Tell You
The Word, followed closely by What You’re Doing. Love 'em both.
I went with the first song on the first Beatles album I ever bought: “Magical Mystery Tour.”
“What You’re Doing”, fo’ sho’.
“Baby You’re a Rich Man” followed by “Magical Mystery Tour.”
Do you mean to say “Revolution #9” got votes?
I’m also torn between Baby and MMT. I can’t believe they didn’t get a vote as many of those songs on that album were so close to each other. Hmmm…I guess I’ll go with MMT.
This looks like mostly a list of George’s songs, which is sad. I chose Old Brown Shoe because it’s always the song that I think “Eh, I don’t need to listen to this.” But then I do and I think “Holy crap, this is a great song. Why did I think I didn’t like it?”
Another voter surprised MMT didn’t get any votes.
Hell yeah.
8 of them:
Biffy the Elephant Shrew
Crawlspace
garygnu
Le Ministre de l’au-delà
multimediac17
Spoke
The New and Improved Superman
unwashed brain
I went for For You Blue since it’s the pleasantly innocuous new earworm that dislodged its horrifying predecessor, Dandy, by Herman’s Hermits. Had I given it more consideration, I would have chosen Wait.
Crap, now the HH earworm is back.
“I’m Happy Just to Dance with You.”
I’m finding that in most of these polls, I’m picking a song that communicates simple feelings and desires that most people have felt. This is a perfect example.
Does that mean you voted for “Why Don’t We Do It in the Road?” too?
I voted for The Inner Light, I think it’s a catchy tune.
Went with Old Brown Shoe, more or less for similar reasons as pepperlandgirl.
The Word, definitely.
What album is “Wait” on? I love that song, can’t believe it got zero votes! I could see it not being the big winner when all the votes were tallied, but zero? Easily my favorite from the above list, easily.
I quite like “The Word”.
Even as a child attracted to flash over substance, even then I always hated “Magical Mystery Tour”.
I like Herman’s Hermits.
I love The Kinks, quite like The Kinks’ original version of this song- from one of my all-time favorite albums.
How does: Like Herman’s Hermits + Like this song = HATE Herman’s Hermits doing this song?
Don’t know how, but that’s the way it is.
“Wait” and “The Word” are on Rubber Soul, as is “What Goes On”, another one with zero votes in that album’s poll.
Cool. Face to Face is my own favorite Kinks album.
