Tricky one this as they are all good songs. I went with Fixing a Hole.

Time to admit this is the one Ringo song I’m not defending.

I voted against it - I'll survive with Joe Cocker's superior version

I much prefer the sprightly Beatles version to that overwrought cover.Silent Majority wrote: ↑28 Dec 2020, 11:38amI voted against it - I'll survive with Joe Cocker's superior version

Where you say 'sprightly' I hear it as uninvolved. They kind of throw it away.Heston wrote: ↑28 Dec 2020, 12:09pmI much prefer the sprightly Beatles version to that overwrought cover.Silent Majority wrote: ↑28 Dec 2020, 11:38amI voted against it - I'll survive with Joe Cocker's superior version

I'm no Ringo fan by long chalk but he is quite endearing here. My favourite on the side.Silent Majority wrote: ↑28 Dec 2020, 12:11pmWhere you say 'sprightly' I hear it as uninvolved.

With doc on getting rid of the title song
Friends in both its original and Joe cocker versions are personal faves, so I won't be voting it off. Obviously, I still wish it was a buck owens cover instead.

Re: Pepper - Side A - Round 3
I voted for the title track because I like the reprise on the flipside better (it rocks hard).
As a general aside, Ringo's drumming on this LP is incredible: both in regards to his playing and the production.

Re: Pepper - Side A - Round 3
As the Beatles' music evolved beyond basic rock n roll, Ringo's percussion became more apparent and impressive, without being some kind of Peart spotlight performance. He complemented what was going on around him.WestwayKid wrote: ↑28 Dec 2020, 2:47pmAs a general aside, Ringo's drumming on this LP is incredible: both in regards to his playing and the production.
