The Beatles - Side A - Round 1
Here we go...ready for their most eclectic and weird LP? I think if IMCT can get through "The White Album" without killing one another...we can get through anything

Wild Honey Pie is fun and weird, but nothing more than a snippet of a song.

Just now realizing that OBLADIDADIDA is the worst song on this side.

easiest pick of the entire game, so far
We reach the parts other combos cannot reach
We beach the beachheads other armies cannot beach
We speak the tongues other mouths cannot speak

A few rounds yet before it gets my vote.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: The Beatles - Side A - Round 1
I really don't get the Ob-La-Di hatred. Yeah, it's a slight song but it's a totally wired performance and I love the laughing and clowning around in the background. This sounds like a band having fun, whereas a lot of the other songs on the album sound like jaded, miserable men doing solo projects. I think maybe the convoluted recording and Lennon's bashing of it don't do it any favours historically.

I’ve never disliked it. I actually voted for it this round, but I like every song on this side.Heston wrote: ↑13 Jan 2021, 7:20pmI really don't get the Ob-La-Di hatred.

Re: The Beatles - Side A - Round 1
More ska flavoured I'd say but I take your point about the cod aspect. I just love it on headphones for the crazy backing vocals and you can tell how wonderfully pissed off John is on the choruses. And there's some energy there on a sometimes lethargic album.Marky Dread wrote: ↑13 Jan 2021, 7:26pmIt's just a lame cod reggae song.Heston wrote: ↑13 Jan 2021, 7:20pmI really don't get the Ob-La-Di hatred.

Yeah I meant ska more like "jump-up" with it's jaunty feel. This is what made me dislike it so much. I used to hear it all the time as a kid.Heston wrote: ↑13 Jan 2021, 7:41pmMore ska flavoured I'd say but I take your point about the cod aspect.
