Michelle gets my vote. It's too lightweight and the other songs on this side are really strong (in my opinion).

"Nowhere Man" needs to win this side.
Agreed, though Norwegian Wood runs it close.
I'd be happy with Norwegian Wood winning the game out right.
It's a tough call for me. Both songs are completely fantastic and I'm sure I've gone through periods where I would have favored NW over Nowhere Man.

i hate that i agree with heston so much in this thread, but here we are
I agree by default for most if the songs he doesn’t like and find the hatred of “Drive My Car” baffling. It’s a charming, fun, and yes silly song.

It's got a fantastic guitar solo from McCartney.

The Word - Michelle - What Goes On - Girl is the worst four song run of the band's career. This is what stops Rubber Soul being a classic album for me.
Highly agree. It's weird that stage musical was named after a lyric in The Word.

Yeah, it doesn't need to be a world beater, but it has energy and a good attitude.

Hey, everyone's agreeing with me. Is this some kind of prank?

It's absolutely ridiculous it has four votes at this stage.

I really like Think for Yourself, but I'm pretty surprised other people like it more than Drive.

This is a really solid side. I don’t actively dislike any of the songs. “The Word” and “Michelle” are the clear weakest, but I still like them.

Listening to Side 1, I don't have it in me to vote against "You Won't See Me." Or "I'm Looking Through You" on Side 2. :sad:

It's funny, when we did this for the Friday 5 nobody picked Norwegian Wood, but now everyone's talking about it.
