This incorrect attribution is all over the place, yet is easy to double-check. To the best of my knowledge, the Stones' Jones never played saxophone. He was more of a string-instrument and percussion guy.Seedermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03213824431295098276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-60029936507752949172012-06-26T02:32:55.357+04:002012-06-26T02:32:55.357+04:00For heaven's sakes, if we can't even agree...For heaven's sakes, if we can't even agree "Hey Jude" is the best song on its album then what hope does humanity have?Lord Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809374762143520122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-74274008354182055552012-06-23T06:09:30.949+04:002012-06-23T06:09:30.949+04:00I'll third it.

The primal screams, the slow groove, and the instrumentation as a whole just clicks with me.

You argue so persuasively... Though I will say that I love "The Ballad of John and Yoko," and the sort of difficult balance it strikes between "compact pop single" and "wordy travelogue." Fantastic work... looking forward to some new Bob Dylan reviews!

No less than McCartney himself believes "You know My Name" is a lost classic. <br /><br />I love that the new "Mono Masters" adds the four 'new' songs from the Yellow Submarine soundtrack.<br /><br />I agree with George that the side two Mystery Tour material very much belongs on Past Masters.<br /><br />What an amazing musical journey to listen to Past Masters straight through from "Love Me Do" to "You Know My Name."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-10246175805780402592012-06-20T04:06:36.565+04:002012-06-20T04:06:36.565+04:00I second the motion.

It's the same reason Sun King works for me, but less so, because it's less developed and the lyrics are indecipherable (which was probably the point).JimmADerbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13331334978761537408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-75494621855387835332012-06-20T02:59:07.306+04:002012-06-20T02:59:07.306+04:00Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

I wouldn't be surprised if George just felt that this is a song that ultimately speaks for itself by this point. It's probably my favourite Beatles song either way.Ilan Preskovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00971332712956679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-35802083124028986852012-06-20T02:50:06.666+04:002012-06-20T02:50:06.666+04:00I feel like "You Know My Name" is one of...I feel like "You Know My Name" is one of the very few songs that is better in its original form.

I myself am a huge fan of that one - first heard it on an old Rarities compilation (which is no longer in print, I understand). Silly, yes, but even when they are silly - they remain tasteful, melodic and utterly convincing. <br />Unlike George, I actually think that "The Inner Light" is Harrison's best Indian song. I don't know - I just love that hazy little tune so much.<br />The rest is pure gold, of course, with "Lady Madonna" being pretty much my definition of the perfect pop song.Alexey P.http://artschoolbop.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-53495585961081609432012-06-19T19:34:38.981+04:002012-06-19T19:34:38.981+04:00Correction: it's actually John who plays the l...Correction: it's actually John who plays the lead on "Revolution". If you look at the video, it's obvious -- George is just standing there, passively strumming along. John got the dirty sound by overloading his preamp -- which EMI DID NOT like at all, fearing it would make the record sound defective. <br />Bobtrfesokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12631886869696528704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-58055374759597467442012-06-19T19:33:29.130+04:002012-06-19T19:33:29.130+04:00And its John Lennon with "Don't Let Me Do...And its John Lennon with "Don't Let Me Down," for the win...Most soulful Beatle song there ever was.Willie Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10047407026471999735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-5748068227640927552012-06-19T19:30:25.305+04:002012-06-19T19:30:25.305+04:00So, nothing on Hey Jude?
