The Word, followed by Baby You’re a Rich Man.
Magical Mystery Tour is getting far too many votes.
If it ends up looking like Magical Mystery Tour is going to win, I’m going to open up a couple dozen sock accounts just to put that dog down.
Aw, I like all the songs on the list. I chose “I’m Happy Just to Dance with You.”
I voted for Tell Me What You See because I like it and I suspected it wouldn’t get much love. But my real favourite here, by some distance, is Baby, You’re a Rich Man.
I can’t pick, but I have to say those songs make a **great **playlist.
I’m surprised “Old Brown Shoe” went voteless in previous polls. It’s a pretty good song.
Yeah, I love the opening for MMT, especially when they harmonize on “roll up for the Mystery Tour”. Speaking of forgotten tracks, I had my Beatles folder on random play last night and wondered if a Shins song had somehow crept into the mix. Turns out it was “Long, Long, Long” from the White Album. I usually just cherry pick the most well known tracks from the WA, so it was a nice “discovery” for me. Rack up another great song for George.
My vote went to Old Brown Shoe, but I think I Want to Tell You and You Like Me Too Much both deserve more love than they seem to be getting. The latter, particularly, may be slight, but it is wonderfully cheerful.
Great song, but it never had a chance against the competition on Past Masters 2.
The story of George’s life.
I’m surprised “What You’re Doing” has fared so poorly. It’s always been one of my favorite Beatle songs.
Dizzy Miss Lizzy. I like the vocals, the guitar riff gets a little old.
Yes! I agree! But… is loving six words’ worth of a harmony mean the enire song’ll hold my interest? I have a feeling I’ll hit Next long before the MMT “takes me awayyyyyy…”.
Annnnd… I might just find out. I think I WILL make a playlist of these Second String Beatles Songs. I’ve been buying the remastered discs* whenever they go on sale, and I think I have all of these “Legion of Substitute Super-Songs” tracks.
*ps: I call them the “Ringo and George are amazing!” editions– I’m hearing riffs (and bongos!) that I never did before.
