Ranking the Beatles sorting tool

A true Beatles "pustule" is 'Act Naturally'

 

with my super-memory of things that were the opposite of book learning, i have the whole thing memorized forwards (and backwards)

 

it's a campfire singalong without a campfire locale

lots of fun campfire memories, fortunately there was no long-term damage

 

Could I make a humble request? Use the Quote function on the boards if you're going to post a 200+ item list, just so these pages are not a mile long

 

40% through, too painful to make choices sometimes, have a good song sit lose a few times until i opt for it....

gotta rank them though and 20-40 will seem unfair...

...looks like I was wrong

 

Nice!

 

Well. This was fun. Sort of sustained on autopilot through the day while working on other things, but...



The only option I selected was Remove Song Duplicates so there's Anthology and Yellow Submarine score selections in there.

Seems fair, I do love Strawberry Fields Forever.

My top 3
SFF
Girl
Dear Prudence

 

There is one. Your fingers and a mouse. Happy clicking and dragging

 

That was fun, thanks.
But did I miss "The Ballad of John & Yoko"?

 

it showed up for me.

 

Thanks for playing, everyone. It’s fun to see everyone’s lists.

 

Cool - we share #1 and #3. #2 on your list was pretty high up on mine as well.

 

I really like the top 40 of the selections. I'm making a playlist! And maybe a multi disc mix CD?

The Beatles Song Sorter

 

Wow. Talk about almost spot on!

Indeed, almost every entry in my Top 20 almost mirrors exactly what I have compiled for years within "My Beatles Top 20". Cool stuff!

I will have to make a playlist of at least the Top 50:

AN yes, BB a small bump on the outer layer...but they are not true pustules! as R9...

 

God, I am so inept.

Spent an hour going through my picks then accidentally erased the lot.

 

nah...

 

NO, NO, NO! it should have been on an upcoming Yoko and John album where it belonged...or just tossed. ; )
