Tomorrow Never Knows. 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.
Whoa. A quarter mil. That is some mad cheddar.
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.
