Title: The "Fab 4" Post by: NOLA BB Fan on June 02, 2017, 06:23:53 PM On the Sirius/XM Beatles channel, fans are invited to submit their Fab 4 choices - their 4 favorite Beatles songs. Some fans are picked to present their picks on air. I listened to several today. "Rain" seemed to be a popular choice,
If by some slim chance I could present 4 of my very favorites, they would be: There's a Place Yes it Is Martha My Dear Old Brown Shoe What would you all pick? Title: Re: The \ Post by: JK on June 03, 2017, 01:34:21 AM Good call, E. Four is a nice compact number, particularly if you're not the world's biggest Beatles fan.
I had a think about this while walking the dog. The first two came to mind immediately. If I had to choose just one, it would be "The Word". "There's A Place" is one of the most perfect songs ever committed to wax. Believe it or not, I remember hearing "Yes It Is" for the first time a few years ago after being sent a stunning live version by Don Henley. And "Savoy Truffle" is a great lesser-known George gem, with some fantastic massed sax lines.

Despite being mainly Paul fan, John's written good songs which I like equally with Paul's. |
