Least favourite Beatles 1963 song (Round 4)

The next songs to go are "Chains" and "Till There Was You".

Due to the limit on how many options there can be in a poll, I've had to exclude three of the strongest songs (I Saw Her Standing There, She Loves You and I Want to Hold Your Hand), and they will be added in over the next two rounds.

Results so far:
Round 1: "A Taste of Honey", "Little Child"
Round 2: "Hold Me Tight", "Devil in Her Heart"
Round 3: "Chains", "Till There Was You"

Question: What's your favourite 1963 Paul song?

 

Voted for "I Wanna Be Your Man" and "Boys".

Question: "All My Loving"

 

Anna and Roll Over Beethoven for me.

 

If you get in early you can really move the dial!

I'm not fond of the covers of Berry or Mr postman.

 

Fav Paul of 63 either I Saw Her Standing There or All My Loving

 

Thank God "Till There Was You" is gone. I even hate catching myself humming it in the shower!!!!

 

Glad to be able to start voting against From Me To You. Always struck me as such a formulaic follow up to the first two singles and about the least "inspired" thing they did - reeks of "time to crank out another single boys".
Harmonica - Check
Sing Song Melody - Check
Mention Me & You - Check

Great move by Dave Dexter leaving it off all the US albums

 

I Wanna Be Your Man and Do You Want to Know a Secret, again.

DQ: probably I Saw Her Standing There

 

Sorry to see "Till There Was You" go. Not because of the tune itself, but because of George's great guitar work on the record. For me, that elevates the song above some others such as "Boys" & "I Wanna Be Your Man", which I'm voting off this round (sorry, Mr. Starkey).

Fave Paul: "I Saw Her Standing There"

 

How does one spell LaFong?

 

"Do You Want to Know a Secret?" + "I'll Get You"

DQ: "I Saw Her Standing There"

 

"Boys" & "Love Me Do"
DQ?: "All My Loving" and "I Saw Her Standing There"

 

Do You Want To Know A Secret
Misery

Boys should not be getting voted off yet. It shouldn't even be the first Ringo song to go.

DQ: A tough call between I Saw Her Standing There and All My Loving. Both represent the best of Paul in different styles.

 

I'm surprised about Till There Was You. A lovely song. Many songs left I like less. I will go with Please Mr. Postman and I'll Get you. The original Mr. Postman is better an I'll Get You is weaker than most original songs. The Beatles hardly ever have any filler tracks, but both of these songs feel like they are.

 

People are voting off Boys & I Wanna Be Your Man over Ask Me Why & Please Mr. Postman?
Heavens to murgatroyd, where are the rockers among us??

 

"From Me To You" "Do You Want To Know A Secret?"

Q: "All My Loving'

 

all the votes against boys are from girls... big fan of postman, though

 

How anyone can vote against This Boy is beyond me.
It's one of the most beautiful and passionate songs ever recorded.

 

Anna
Love Me Do

Q- I Saw Her Standing There. John's contribution though is an important one. From she was just seventeen "never been a beauty queen" to "you know what I mean" An early example of how they elevated each others songs

 

That's my all time favourite Beatles track you're talking about there. 7 weeks at No 1 over here, It seemed to get lost in the rush of singles released in early'64 in the States. We all know that Dexter was a prat!

 

Yeah, Boys rocks harder, but guess I can't really begrudge love for any of their girl-group homages....

 

"Boys" rocks- would take it and "I Wanna Be Your Man" over "Twist & Shout" every time. Always found the later overrated.

 

I must admit 'Twist And Shout' is clunky, it's John's vocals that carry the tune to greatness. I've always loved 'Boys'. the instrumental break especially is totally rockin'!

 

Yeah, "Twist and Shout" is one of the primal rock vocal performances...by the end, John's barely able to (almost) hit the notes! Beautiful.

(but the tune itself doesn't cook like Boys or Wanna Be Your Man ; ) Love Paul's high-harmony backing vocals on the latter.

 

Love his yells in the former.
