My Better The Beatles series rolls on with the ultimate selection of the best from Rubber Soul and Revolver. I ended up with a clean eight from each, combined here into Revolver Soul:
- Good Day Sunshine
- Taxman
- Drive My Car
- Eleanor Rigby
- Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
- Yellow Submarine
- Michelle
- You Won’t See Me
- Here, There And Everywhere
- I’m Only Sleeping
- Nowhere Man
- Girl
- I’m Looking Through You
- In My Life
- For No One
- And Your Bird Can Sing
That’s right, the song one listicle ranked as the very worst Beatles song (not going to link to it because it’s ipso facto garbage due to that ranking) is now at the head of the line, despite “Taxman” being one of the best first tracks ever.
The departed from Rubber Soul: “The Word”, “Think For Yourself”, “If I Needed Someone”, “What Goes On”, “Wait”, and “Run For Your Life”. Not sad about these.
The departed from Revolver: “Love You To”, “She Said She Said”, “I Want To Tell You”, “Doctor Robert”, “Got To Get You Into My Life”, and “Tomorrow Never Knows”. Sorry to get rid of both Harrison joints, but I’m just not into the sitar.
You’re welcome.
