02: Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me and my Monkey
03: Good Morning Good Morning
04: Back in the USSR
05: Birthday
06: A Hard Day's Night
07: Help!
08: She Said She Said
09: I'm Happy Just to Dance With You
10: Any Time At All
11: Run For Your Life
12: I Saw Her Standing There
13: Come Together
14: Day Tripper
15: Get Back
16: Twist and Shout
17: Doctor Robert
18: Revolution

Not sure what songs like Run For Your Life and I'm Happy Just To Dance With You are doing on that list.

[BlueMeanie]

I'd only include these, from your list:

Helter Skelter
Birthday
Come Together
Revolution

I wouldn't disagree. I was trying not to be too 'hard' on Buttmunker!

I just don't think it was their strong forte to do real hard songs , good Rocker's yes  and Buttmunker's  list as plenty of them

DaveRam

[BlueMeanie]

Very true. Really, only Helter Skelter can be called 'hard'. And that is really stretching it I think. It may, or may not have influenced heavy metal, but 'hard' is Tool, and Helmet, as far as I'm concerned.

[Buttmunker]

Let me rephrase, then.  How about "heavy," as in a heavy feeling, or vibe?  That's more along the lines of what I meant.  

[Buttmunker]

At one point, Macca was going to have compilations released - as themes.  One would be 'heavy' (I think that was his word), and the other would be the ballads.

Lucille
Long Tall Sally
Oh My Soul

Clarabella

All sung by Paul, #s 1, 3, and 5 on "Beatles at the BBC". All Little Richard, except I think Clarabella maybe.
Completely awesome!!

In any case - all are completely awesome!!

Happiness is a Warm Gun. Ticket To Ride.

Happiness is a Warm Gun. Ticket To Ride.

Those are meant to be hard?

tend to disagree about "Happy Just To Dance w/ You" although it's a nice HDN era tune (in the vein of "Do You Wanna Know A Secret?") it just doesnt belong on a Beatle "hardest" list IMHO, but then, it's all relative)

i'd add : "And Your Bird Can Sing" & "I Dig A Pony"

Does everyone have to post twice to get their point over!

I think sometimes the duplicate posts are accidents...have been for me a cpl times, trying to get a hang of the site--getting used to it now though, less typos
