Rubber Soul - Side A - Round 1
Released on December 3rd, 1965...which means it will be 55 years old tomorrow. Rubber Soul was their 2nd LP (after A Hard Day's Night) that didn't include any cover material.

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

I hate that Heston will probably approve of my choice because this side is so strong.

The song thinks it rocks and it doesn't.

I will be voting for Michelle next round. I only kept it this round because we used to tease our friend Michelle by singing "Michelle, you smell." Also, I don't like The Word.WestwayKid wrote: ↑02 Dec 2020, 1:01pmMichelle gets my vote. It's too lightweight and the other songs on this side are really strong (in my opinion).
Got a Rake? Sure!

"Nowhere Man" needs to win this side.

Was torn between The Word and Michelle, both pretty dire. Went with Michelle.

Agreed, though Norwegian Wood runs it close.

We'll ride this plane down together, man. McCartney is so often dancing on the corny line of things, and on this one it doesn't especially work for me.Silent Majority wrote: ↑02 Dec 2020, 1:10pmThe song thinks it rocks and it doesn't.

Re: Rubber Soul - Side A - Round 1
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.
