Other than the "Hits, I find Let It Be full of so-so songs. Across the Universe included.

Not every Beatles song is worth listening to more than a few times! They're no Zeppelin now!!!Originally posted by johnnya24 View PostI like the fact noone is posting videos to accompany the songs ... we've all heard them a million times (apart from Mith of course
) ... plus makes the draft thread nice and easy to load on mobile."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

I always get amused at how most of you in these drafts like the same songs and I am so different."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

All Things Must Pass is amazingly consistent for an album with that many songs on it. Of course, many of them were written for the Beatles but not used since John and Paul limited him to two songs per album. (Famously, the title track was supposed to be on Let It Be, but no one was happy with any of the takes.) I know very little about the rest of his output, but he didn't have an album as commercially or critically successful until Cloud Nine in 1987.Originally posted by TheGaffer View PostOriginally posted by Kevin SeitzerComment

By contrast, if I never hear Let it Be (or for that matter Hey Jude) ever again, I won't be upset. Those songs have been so overplayed. The "other one" I still like, and Get back is a great tune.Originally posted by Mithrandir View Post
Life must suck when "Let it Be" is one of your "worst albums"

Judging from the Let It Be documentary, all the Beatles except Paul agreed with you.Originally posted by Mithrandir View Post
I happen to enjoy it very much. It doesn't wow me like Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper, the White Album and Revolver do, but, aside from the tracks that Phil Spector overorchestrated, it's got an understated charm about it that rewards multiple listenings.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerComment

Let It Be... Naked redeemed these songs for me. It might be the best album re-release ever.Originally posted by Erik View Post"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

I always loved the Glyn Johns version of "Let It Be", so much more sparse and natural than the Spector abomination. It was only available as a ROIO, so I was tickled to see "Naked" released. It wasn't as rough and natural as Johns' but close.Originally posted by senorsheep View Post
McCartney hated Let It Be...it was everything he didn't want in the album...while Lennon defended Spector's wretched excess. I think Lennon only did that because McCartney hated it so much. Lennon couldn't have really liked that dross.Comment

Crap, missed the boat on this one. Have fun - I'll be following along and blasting whoever takes "Nowhere Man"
