Listening to this track earlier

reminded me of how much Nilsson borrowed the whole feel for this.

Quelle coincidence—I did my Beatles lecture today, with some attention paid to "Tomorrow Never Knows" as the dividing line.

1. Tomorrow Never Knows [my favourite Beatles song, still sounds fresh and trippy]
2. She Said She Said
3. And Your Bird Can Sing
4. I'm Only Sleeping
5. For No One
I never realised until this morning the drum pattern from "Tomorrow Never Knows" is incredibly reminiscent of "Ticket to Ride".
Yeah, you're right. Lazy bastards. But the drums on TNK are so hypnotic—one of my favourites on any song—whereas on TTR they're not really noticeable.
Both great but yeah the hypnotic feel of TNK is amazing.
I swear, after all these years, whenever I play it I still get a weird sensation in my head when it starts. It just hits my brain perfectly every time. Psychedelic Beatles will always be my Beatles.
Oh yeah mine too.

I imagine most have heard this alternate take of TNK, which was on Anthology. A more conventional and less obvious drum track and fewer effects than the final version, like a campfire version, but even this one is really compelling.

IMMENSE track.

I like this top 5 idea, Marky. Would be good to do a few albums.

I second that, tho in no small part because my brain often melts into goo when trying to work on themes.

5 seems a lot for an album list basically half the album unless you are The Clash of course

Hello,

This would just be several permutations of the same tracks (I've been dying to use permutations in a comment).

What if it was top 3 (and in order)?

Ha! My challenge to you, my friend, is to use the word permutation in your next five posts. A shiny new condor egg will be your reward should you succeed!

Hello,

If I did, I'd try to spread them out so it would have the same content per mutation.

The top 5 Gods deem it must always be 5.

Unless Marky wants to make it 3?
