As long as "I'm Only Sleeping" wins nothing else matters.
I'm actually a little surprised that it's so popular here. I always thought of it as a song that I liked a lot, but that most people thought was filler or something.

Nearly top tier for me, certainly John's best song on a great album.

My fave beatles song growing up. Then I started to dig the brilliance of TKN and to be fair I respect both tracks. This is my fave Beatles album and my most played other than comps. But as a song IOD is magical.

I should add that it's not my all time fave Beatles song. That's "Hey Bulldog" nowadays. But with such an amazingly rich back catalogue it's always subject to change.

That was more the response I'd expect.

I'm Only Sleeping
Tomorrow Never Knows
And Your Bird Can Sing
Taxman

Probably how I would pick my 5 on listening today.

Gotta say I've always preferred the Anthology 2 version of I'm Only Sleeping. Just has a bite to it I enjoy more...

Very few wrong answers on this album for me. It's a very strong album.

I really dig everything except YS and Here There. It's certainly better than Rubber Soul which has that little run of clunkers in the middle.

YS gets a dodgy pass from me because I loved it as a kid. And I'm still a child that refuses to grow up and listen to Here, There as I think it's dreck.
