I think you can use whatever criteria you want when voting, but in the end, we're going to have a winner that is removed from its album as "the best Beatles song." I just don't think the reprise counts, even as a song. It's more of a commercial.Heston wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 4:53pmBut aren't we voting for it within the context of the album?Kory wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 4:35pmI just don't buy that if there's something you couldn't convincingly put on a compilation to stand on its own, then it's not worthy of voting for best song. It exists as a framing device within this album only.

My only motives for voting are the pleasure it gives to my ears. And only A Day In the Life on that album pleases me more.Kory wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 5:26pmI think you can use whatever criteria you want when voting, but in the end, we're going to have a winner that is removed from its album as "the best Beatles song."

And I know I’m an unabashed Beach Boys fan, but Pet Sounds is across the board better. Brian needed to be more confident.

Re: Pepper - Side B - Round 2
Now if only Lucy had the mix it got on the Yellow Submarine Songtrack it would be right up there for me. It has a weak sound on the album proper. Even Lennon complained about it, claiming Macca was getting more attention and time devoted to his songs.Marky Dread wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 6:51pm1.

Re: Pepper - Side B - Round 2
I'd have more sympathy for Lennon on that if he hadn't been passively ripped off his tits on acid for that whole time, completely going along with the flow.Heston wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 7:09pmNow if only Lucy had the mix it got on the Yellow Submarine Songtrack it would be right up there for me.

Yeah I agree Songtrack's mix is class. But it's still a great track.Heston wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 7:09pmNow if only Lucy had the mix it got on the Yellow Submarine Songtrack it would be right up there for me.
