Omg more 'Tomorrow Never Knows' appreciation, that pleases me greatly :wub:

 

Both that and 'Lucy...' are in my top 10 Beatles songs so it's really difficult to choose, trying to weigh everything up.

I also did not know With a Little Help from My Friends wasn't a single! That would probably be the safest option, and I'd likely still vote for it, but not as much as the aforementioned two, depends if you wanna be safe or risky I suppose!

 

I Am The Walrus and Helter Skelter are also iconic ofc. *__

 

Not familiar with many of those but 'With a Little Help from My Friends' would be a great choice!

Yeah 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' had 0 singles :o both 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'Penny Lane' were originally supposed to be on the album but instead came before it as a standalone release - as the label was pressuring them to release a new single but they wanted an album 100% full of new material!

 

This is getting tougher by the minute :lol:

Okay final top 3:

 

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

 

 

Tomorrow Never Knows

 

 

With A Little Help From My Friends

 

 

Whacky but iconic vs. biggest discovery vs. iconic but seemingly more safe option... quite split so more opinions on people's favourite of the three would be appreciated!

Just reposting this:

 

As a source as to what is and isn't considered "uptempo", google states that typically an uptempo track is 120 bpm. I think we'd be willing to look at anything over 100 bpm (Beyonce - Crazy In Love & Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body both come up as roughly 100 bpm so we'll use that as a guide)

 

If you can't be bothered to find out what would be eligible lmk and I'll source it! ^_^

I've checked all 3 of these and 'Tomorrow Never Knows' & 'With A Little Help From My Friends' are fine! 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds' I got 3 different answers (I saw 65, 97 & 130 lmao - they're not even "similar"/close to each other) so IDK WHAT WE WOULD DO LMAO

My preference out of those is Tomorrow Never Knows but again totally unsure how that would do!

Decided to go down the discovery route (and one that 100% has the right BPM :kink: :lol:)...

 

ROUND 5: Uptempo album track

'Tomorrow Never Knows'

 

 

'Tomorrow Never Knows' is the closing track from the 'Revolver' album. The group had recently stopped touring so went all-out in the studio knowing that they wouldn't have to replicate it live. What followed was this psychedelic album track with its groundbreaking use of unconventional production techniques. This is probably too out there to do well but I do hope that some people will appreciate this pick. "Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream..."

Listened on Youtube and thought Meh

 

Appreciated it a lot more with headphones on and via apple music.

So glad you gave it another go!! A big part of the appeal is all the whacky production techniques used which definitely pop more in headphones *.*

Round 5: 10 Tomorrow Never Knows [15 votes]

 

Another top 10 placing! :cheer: I'll happily take that for their most out-there pick so far.

 

~~~

 

Next round is free choice... time for 'Let It Be' I think? :thinking:

:o!

 

Thought 'Let It Be' would be saved for the final round. Happy for it to be sent any time though - their best song :wub:

Can’t Buy Me Love

I was thinking 'Hey Jude' for the final round - mostly because it was the winner of the Beatles survivor I did a couple of years ago on BuzzJack!

I can’t stand Let It Be- too simple and gives me Count on Me by Bruno Mars energy- just sounds like a nursery rhyme oops.

 

There’s so many better songs imo- Get Back, Something, Lucy in the Sky, A Day in the Life

'Let It Be' isn't a huge favourite for me either - I like it but I'd put a lot of others above it too.

 

However, it seems to have quite a few big fans on here from what I gather so far. All opinions welcomed and taken on board though!

Let It Be if Hey Jude is last round material. Really hoping to be able to point The Beatles soon. The options for the single rounds I've all enjoyed!

I feel the endless reality show covers of Let It Be have really dampened it for me although it might be nice to reappraise it.

Live And Let Die

 

thanks x

I wasn't planning to send anything solo/Wings etc. but I recall Sam mentioning a love for 'Live And Let Die' as well so might as well chuck it into the pile :lol:

 

Final short-list:

 

Let It Be

Live And Let Die

Penny Lane

Something

Strawberry Fields Forever

Yesterday

 

(definitely saving Here Comes The Sun and Hey Jude)

 

Please let me know your favourite of the options! There have been a few others mentioned as well but just trying to have a cut off point somewhere :lol:
