Title: Album analyses/rankings
Post by: Normandie on January 06, 2022, 10:52:21 PM
This popped up on my Instagram feed (yup, still hoping for photos of my son  roll:)  ), and I thought they were interesting, so I cut and pasted a couple here.

I think this is an intriguing concept, although right now I don't have the time or energy to critique the choices in any detail. Perhaps someone else does.

I had to laugh—not meanly—at the account owner flagging "Two of Us" as having the best bass. That sounds exactly like a mistake I could easily make.  ha2ha

Who is this _apple_scruffs_ anyway?!  Mr. Moonlight "Worst Overall" on Beatles For Sale?  The account owner is tone deaf.

Reads like it was done by a 9 year old.

Although I agree with Mr M.  ;sorry Baz  ha2ha

If the account owner specified "Bass Line," it would have been a very valid ranking.  This is how George played it on his Telecaster...

Yes, but it is nice to see there are younger Beatles fans out there.  :)

Agreed! You and I remain a minority of two, Barry.  ;D

Mr. Moonlight was featured in this scene from In His Life: The John Lennon Story...
