I've never understood the hate for MSH. It's lower tier McCartney/Beatles, along the lines of other goopy Paul songs like "When I'm 64," but it's not as off-putting lyrically.
Just a personal preference, I guess. I've just never dug it. McCartney makes up for it right away with Oh Darling! ...but I'm thinking the album would have been better without it.
"Her Majesty" is the only song on AR that really irritates me. A dumb gag addition that is so Paul-corny.
Imagine a Chunbawamba cover beating the Beatles original.
I just hunted in down on youtube. They give that thing new life and justification for existing. :smile:

When people bag on Octopus’s Garden, I sigh. It’s a fun, whimsical piece of joy.


I also like Yellow Submarine, though.

I genuinely like MSH. Also, you can sing my oldest son’s name to the chorus.

There's a place for both Otopus's Garden and Yellow Submarine in my heart. Nothing wrong in bringing that nostalgic child out once in a while.

I struggle with Don't Pass Me By...it has sort of a whimsical quality to it (I guess) - but it's not good. Then again - The White Album is all about the band going way too far...so I guess even Ringo gets to indulge.

In the last couple years, this has become my favourite Lennon song. A lot of pain, confession, and resolution there. Mostly, tho, I love the dual and contradictory nature of the line "The dream is over." Is it sadness in the collapse of hope or is it about waking up from fantasy and getting ready to face reality? The context of the lyrics seems the latter, but the delivery hints at the former. That line, "What can I say?" feels like resignation and a bit of sorrow. Fans likely approached it that way. Devastating either way to have someone who was part of this mass utopian fantasy come out to say, fucking hell, I'm getting on with my life, get on with yours. George would have understood it, but in his gut, there's no way Paul could understand that kind of break from the past.

At school we had to sing Beatles songs in music lessons etc.. We refused to sing on account of 1977. The Beatles just seemed so old fashioned and dated but looking back now it was less than 10 years after they split!!

It doesn't have the fancy remixes...but a group of "archivists" calling themselves Purple Chick have been compiling deluxe editions of the Beatles' catalog for several years:

http://www.webgrafikk.com/beatles1/pc/html/deluxe.html

Made to be freely distributed - I've found them to be great additions to my collection: great sounding needle drops of the original vinyl (mono and stereo) along with associated non-album singles and a nice selection of demos, sessions, and so on.
