So so far ahead of its time, Last time I heard this broadcast was in a _Mad Men_ episode (perfect choice, and cool of the rights-holders to give the OK). I don’t think I’ve ever heard it on the radio. Maybe they’re afraid it will blow people’s minds – who knows _what_ could happen! ---

I agree with “Old Brown Shoe” and “I Me Mine.” I’ll add “Because” to the list. ---

I’ve always had a soft spot for “The Word”. It has that little bit of funkiness to it that always makes me dance around the house when it comes on. ---

“Hey Bulldog” is a great choice, but my vote goes to another song from “Yellow Submarine:” “It’s All Too Much.” Love all the feedback that starts the tune. One of George’s best! ---

Liked how “Think For Yourself” has that (first ever?) fuzz bass. _Mr. Lukin (Mudhoney) nods in approval_ Also super-DUPER like the harmonizing in the verses. ---

“I Don’t Want to Spoil the Party” has always been a favorite of mine that doesn’t get enough love. ---

The Stones’ “Satisfaction” was a few months earlier. A few months \*after \*“Think for Yorself,” the Stones did one more fuzz-bass song: “Think.” Another good song, and maybe the similar titles aren’t a coincidence. ---

(True, the fuzz sound on Satisfaction is a guitar, while for the two “Thinks,” it really is a bass…so you may be right about George’s song from _Rubber Soul_ being the first.) ---

Helter Skelter gets too much love, IMHO. For out-and-out rock on The White Album, I much prefer Everybody’s Got Something To Hide 'Cept For Me And My Monkey.
