I'm kinda partial to "Rock'n'Roll Music" at the present, but heard "Twist and Shout" on the radio today.  

Whatta you think?

Twist and Shout all the way!



I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa coming for you
I'm the space invader, I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' b**** for you
Keep your mouth shut,
you're squawking like a pink monkey bird
And I'm busting up my brains for the words

Why the hell does there always have to be a poll on these things? Can't you just ask what is the best John cover song? I'm going with 'Baby Please Don't Go' off of 'Sometime in NYC' minus the Ocean Child from Hell's banzai banalities.

All of these are great - but dig up Anna - and check out his vocal in the chorus! What a voice  he had...

Money, Anna,  Baby It's You, the Smoky Robinson songs,  they all deserve to be on the   poll.  It's a shame the "Rock'n'Roll" album didn't come out better.  I haven't heard the new release but can't think it's much better.  It's just an exercise for him by the mid-70s.  In the late 50s to mid 60s he was singing like his life was hanging in the balance.  

Which I guess is a good way to sing rock-and-roll.

"Stand by Me" is interesting because it shows the frailty of Lennon's once powerful voice--it's an amazing performance of vulnerability from a guy who could belt out "Twist and Shout" and "Money" in his early days.  

Heartbreaking really.

tough choice but I've got to go with Stand by Me...love John's version.


"Wings IV introduced Jimmy McCulloch, a spunky lead guitarist with grit, able to spur Paul on unlike any previous soloist. His debut track, the magnificent single `Junior's Farm', stands as one of Wings' finest emotional and technical releases."

Nobody votes for "Slow Down"?  Not the best song ever, but his vocal is killer. Pure balls.

Where's Mr. Moonlight? Not my favorite song but John's vocals are great. Words of Love is also amazing. Is it just me?


"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination"-JL

"It's fear of the unknown. The unknown is what it is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that--it's all illusion. Unknown is what it is. Accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. Everything is unknown--then you're ahead of the game. That's what it is. Right?”-JL

I figured "Twist and Shout" would ace it so I voted for my next fave, "Stand By Me". When I heard each of these songs for the first time, I immediately wanted to play them again.

it's funny how people love Twist & Shout but Lennon always said that he thought he could do the vocal better,
because of his sore throat! obviouly it was kind of right that he had that sore throat.
