I'm going with TNK this round.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Despite kind of liking it, I evened out his vote by aiming for GTGYIML. Because, as I’ve said earlier today, I like every song on this album.

Re: Revolver - Side B - Round 2
The only song that is truly skippable for me is "Love You To." I can critique and rank the others but, c'mon, a person deserves a fishbat to the head for not being blown away by this album.Wolter wrote: ↑14 Dec 2020, 12:46pmDespite kind of liking it, I evened out his vote by aiming for GTGYIML.

Re: Revolver - Side B - Round 2
Revolver is a really strong album. There are a few songs I don't like as much, but there is not a bad song on the entire LP. The leap from Rubber Soul to Revolver is astounding.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 Dec 2020, 12:49pmThe only song that is truly skippable for me is "Love You To."

Re: Revolver - Side B - Round 2
It really is. It's the sound of the 1960s becoming The Sixties™. Not for nothing did Mad Men use it to signal that change.WestwayKid wrote: ↑14 Dec 2020, 2:28pmRevolver is a really strong album.

Re: Revolver - Side B - Round 2
Yeah they were an extremely privileged band. They were allowed to be completely inventive in the studio and the pay off was musical genius.WestwayKid wrote: ↑14 Dec 2020, 2:28pmRevolver is a really strong album.

Re: Revolver - Side B - Round 2
It's also set up earlier in the episode where someone pitches an ad campaign idea and Don tells them to find some Beatles type of band to do the music—some kind of "yeah yeah yeah" song. That's what Don understands the Beatles as—easy to classify teeny-bopper stuff, you've heard one, you've heard them all. So he can't understand TNK as either a Beatles song or popular music. He's already a creature of the 50s, but now he's really being left behind. His entire way of life is based on a belief that he understands people better than they know themselves. This is a huge red flag that what he thinks he knows is becoming outdated. So he's contemptuous. It really is a spectacular illustration of before and after.WestwayKid wrote: ↑14 Dec 2020, 3:49pmI LOVE this scene! It was perfectly realized.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 Dec 2020, 3:03pmIt really is.

Fun fact Alexis Bledel (the one who draws the heart) is actually Pete’s real life wife. I didn’t know that when I watched the episode.

On a series that had so many of those perfect scenes.
