The Beatles Appreciation Thread

1 I Wanna Be Your Man (It's about time!)
2 I Want To Hold Your Hand
3 This Boy

I love "You Can't Do That."  I hope it stays.  Ironically, tonight I noticed the lounge band in the casino I work at broke into a Beatles set, which I'd never noticed them do before, and "You Can't Do That" was one of the songs they performed, and though it was hardly a very good cover, I still was singing it to myself and could barely concentrate.   

"Can't Buy Me Love" is reminding me that I need to go ahead and buy the dvd for A Hard Day's Night.  I saw the movie a few years ago on the big screen back in Ohio, but I was very disappointed that they didn't have the volume turned up in the theatre, because I wanted it to rock!

You can join in the game anytime. You don't need to have been voting from the beginning to play.

1-  Things We Said Today
2-  Slow Down

3-  Any Time At All

[Matt]

I'm glad "Any Time At All" made it this far, I think the lyrics are beautiful, even if the instrumental parts are pretty weak (horrible guitar/piano part in the break). I guess it's time for it to go:

1) Any Time At All

2) Slow Down
3) Long Tall Sally

[Matt]

1-  Things We Said Today

Wait'll Doug sees that vote!

It's getting tough

[Brendan]

Again, no need to listen to "A Hard Day's Night".

1) Slow Down
2) Any Time At All

3) Long Tall Sally

[Matt]

That ends Round 73. This time we lose "Slow Down" and "Any Time At All".
