Poll question: Favorite Beatles B-side |
|
Edited on Fri Mar-26-04 08:24 AM by mac56
For you young'uns - a "B-side" was the "non-hit" song on a "45 rpm single". Often they were songs that didn't make it onto an "album". The Beatles were legendary for putting some of their more creative numbers on the "flip" of a hit song.
Historical curiosity: The lads released two singles wherein both sides were designated the A-side, or hit: "Day Tripper"/"We Can Work It Out" and "Penny Lane"/"Strawberry Fields Forever".
Any favorites from among these? Or another? Explain why.

4. Revolution (oh the good old days!) |
|
You say you want a revolution Well you know We all want to change the world You tell me that it's evolution Well you know We all want to change the world But when you talk about destruction Don't you know you can count me out Don't you know it's gonna be alright Alright... Alright You say you got a real solution Well you know We'd all love to see the plan You ask me for a contribution Well you know We're doing what we can But when you want money for people with minds that hate All I can tell you is brother you have to wait Don't you know it's gonna be alright Alright... Alright
You say you'll change the constitution Well you know We all want to change your head You tell me it's the institution Well you know You better free your mind instead But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow Don't you know know it's gonna be alright Alright... Alright

Both "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" were A-sides. They did that twice.

22. Well then, philosophically speaking .. |
|
That means they were both "B" sides, too!! (Each was the flip side side of an "A" side).
So my answer is:
EITHER "Penny Lane" OR "Strawberry Fields" or BOTH!

I said "Come Together" though. It's a tough choice though, I like a lot of the Beetles music (virtually all of it)

10. Had to go with "Walrus," but they're all great... |
|
as anything by the Beatles is. Another of my favorite "B" sides is "There's a Place." I think it may have been the flip side of "She Loves You," but I'm not sure. :-)

because I think it's the B-side that is most A-side-esque
But I also really like "Don't Let me Down"..."I'm in love for the first time..don't you know it's gonna last.." Hearing it always reminds me of them doing their rooftop concert. :)

14. "Yellow Submarine" was not a non-hit. |
|
In fact, it charted even higher than "Eleanor Rigby."

20. I used the term "non-hit" loosely. |
|
Generally what a B-side was considered to be. Shorthand only.

21. Hairsplitting department - |
|
Edited on Fri Mar-26-04 04:30 PM by mac56
Not that it matters -
but "This Boy" was the flip for the British release of "I Want To Hold Your Hand".
Judges say either answer is acceptable. Carry on.
