All Things Must Pass
Imagine
Let Me Roll It

Who doesn’t include Imagine in the long long list of Lennon’s amazing songs. The man never had a bad song, but that was his crowning moment in his inspiring career.

Pual- Hi, Hi, Hi and Give Ireland Back to the Irish. Both were banned as protest and drug influencing songs.

Lennon - ‘God’
Macca - ‘With a Little Luck
Harrison - ‘Crackerbox Palace’; great, funny video for that last one too!

John - Imagine
John - Instant Karma!
Paul - Maybe I’m Amazed
George My Sweet Lord
Ringo- It don’t come easy

John: Instant Karma. I Found Out -though he really hadn’t. Oh My Love.
Paul: Junk. Dress Me Up Like A Robber. Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five. Tug of War (that would be my pick for most underrated album by a post-Peatles Beatle).
George: Behind That Locked Door. I’d Have You Anytime. Run of the Mill. Art of Dying. Handle Me With Care.
Ringo: Photograph. Back Off Boogaloo - it’s just fun.
Least favorites:
John: Imagine - yea, just try to imagine Yoko with no possessions( I wonder if you can?).
Paul: My Love (”Woe woewoe woe”).

Lennon- “Isolation”, “# 9 Dream”,”God”, “Cleanup Time”

McCartney- “Too Many People”,”Beware My Love”,”Girl’s School”, “Dear Boy”

Harrison: “Sue Me, Sue You Blues”,”Cheer Down” “Isn’t It A Pity”

Starr: “It Don’t Come Easy”

Paul’s “This Never Happened Before” I LOVE that song!

George- Any Road Will Take You There
Paul- English Tea
Ringo- You’re Sixteen
John- Imagine

Hard to narrow down, so I’ll mention fave LP’s:

John: Plastic Ono Band
Paul: Band on the Run
George: All Things Must Pass
Ringo: anything he did with George Harrison! (photograph, it don’t come easy)

paul - from a lover to a friend
john - Oh my Love
George - Run of the mill
Ringo - Photograph

lennon Beautiful Boy

mccartney Put it There

george You

ringo Photograph

i really was deleted.

wait, NOW IT’S BACK.

“woke up, fell outta bed, dragged a mouse across my desk…”

here’s the missing “s”.

John-”Woman”
Paul-”I’ve had enough”
George-”Long ago when we were fab
Ringo-”It dont come easy”

John - Instant Karma, Mother, Nobody told Me

Paul - Every Night, Mrs Vandebilt, Little Women Love

George - Pices Fish, Handle With Care, All Things Must Pass

Ringo - Come On Christmas, Christmas Come On, Photograph, It Don’t Come Easy

“It dont come easy” or “Let’em in”.Nothing Lennon wrote has any class to it, except “Woman”.

The best solo Beatle track is “It dont come easy”.George is backing Ringo on it.

John: “watching the wheels”
Paul: “wanderlust”
George: “beware of darkness”

Soft Hearted Hannah was a track on “George Harrison”…how does that make it LOST?
as time goes by, all their solo stuff sounds sweeter and sweeter, doncha think?

Ringo- Early 1970 (Moving tribute to the other 3), Photograph (Best Harrison/Starkey Collaboration)

George- Soft Hearted Hannah (Lost track that would’ve remaimed lost if not for Dark Horse Reissues!) When We Was Fab (Great introspective look at his own past)

Paul- My Brave Face (Track only made great cause he finally had a sarcastic foil like John again in the form of Elvis Costello) Spies Like Us (Im kind of joking but it was Paul’s last top 10 US single)

John- How Do You Sleep? (How Pissed was John at Paul right after the Beatles? Listen to the song and you will know) Beautiful Boy (As scathing as John could be in such song as How Do You Sleep he could still be sweet and endearing to his son)

John-

John - “Watching The Wheels”, “Jealous Guy”, “Hold On”, “Oh Yoko”

Paul - “Maybe I’m Amazed”, “Friends to Go”, “Jenny Wren”, “Band on the Run”

George - “When We Were Fab”, “My Sweet Lord”, “Got My Mind Set On You”, “All Things Must Pass”

Ringo - “Don’t Come Easy”, “Weight of The World”, “I’m The Greatest”

Basically, buy Plastic Ono Band, All Things Must Pass, and Chaos & Creation in the Backyard - there are probably about 17 great potential cd mixes right there.

Lennon-Imagine,Jealous Guy,Mind Games,Woman,God
McCartney-May be I’m Amazed,Here Today,Silly Love Songs,Let Me roll It,Live And Let Die
Harrison-What Is Life,Give Me Love(Give Me Peace On Earth),Isn’t It A Pity,Beware Of Darkness,You

RS has been dead almost as long as Lennon….it’s important these days only as a pitchman for whoever can afford ad space, but I’ll play along….my top five solo Beatle tracks:

LENNON
I Found Out
Well Well Well
Working Class Hero
How Do You Sleep?
I Don’t Want to Be a Soldier

MACCA
Junk
Heart of the Country
Some People Never Know
Picasso’s Last Words
Listen What the Man Says

GEORGE
Beware of Darkness
Behind That Locked Door
The Lord Loves the One Who Loves the Lord
You
Handle Me With Care

RINGO
It Don’t Come Easy
The No No Song
Beaucoups of Blues
Wine, Women and Lound, Happy Songs
Photograph

John Lennon- Mother
John Lennon- God
John Lennon- Working Class Hero…you know what, pretty every song on Plastic Ono Band is a classic in my mind

it’s too bad this didn’t become more interesting…compared to the ACTUAL BEATLES recordings, hardly anybody bought the solo stuff. Almost all of the choices go in descending order from JOHN (the god of the band)- to PAUL (I’ve got more radio than you)- to GEORGE (my star continues to rise)- to Ringo(he had that one song, right?) …
and then of course you have the incessant music buffs like myself who delve into all the nooks and crannies and just have to say something original or use a crowbar to pry a memory from some long lost episode of BEATLES(the multi-media memory).
My take on the whole thing is it’s all connected, and going to see Sean is like going to a picnic with the kids. I put down my judges robe and gavel and just accept the vibrations…and the music. and the ART.
The BEATLES have inspired countless people to be BETTER people, and I think that goes for something.
This is probably an ego-driven thing, but I would really be pleased if everyone reading this would search out a strange (unkown to them) BEATLES-related CD or book and try to Re-Imagine the gospel according to Liverpool.

lennon- imagine, instant karma

mccartney- band on the run, jet

harrison- my sweet lord

oh, and that Lennon recording of “I’m Losing You” with Cheap Trick off the box set, damn that version is so much better than the released one…

Pretty much all of George’s “All Things Must Pass”, since most of it was written during the Beatles period and passed on by John and Paul (plus Ringo drums quite a bit and Klaus plays a lot of bass–and Badfinger and Clapton are on the “Apple Jam” section).

Ringo’s “Ringo!” is almost a Beatles reunion, with 3/4 playing on a couple songs and all four contributing to the record (John and George still wouldn’t play with Paul at the time).

Also, both are the best records of the respective artist’s solo careers.

For those that don’t know George…go out and buy the All things must pass disc…
Lennon- Watching the wheels, Nobody told me
McCartney-Jet, Band on the run (always loved that acoustic guitar sound)
Harrison-Beware of Darkness, Apple Scruffs, What is life, Isn’t it a pity
Ringo-Weight of the world, Photograph

Lennon - “Well, baby please don’t go” with the Elephants Memory Band - “beautiful boy” - “yer blues” with the original Plastic Ono Band

Harrison - all of side 3 of ATMP, all of cloud nine and brainwashed

Starr - “it don’t come easy”

McCartney - “jet”

I guess the definition “favorite - not the best” means “Imagine” by John Lennon

John-”(Just Like) Starting Over”,”Imagine”, “I Saw Her Standing There”(the version he did with Elton John) and “Give Peace A Chance”

Paul-”Band On The Run”,”Silly Love Songs”,”Listen To What The Man Said” and “No More Lonely Nights

George-”My Sweet Lord”,”When We Was Fab”,”Handle With Care” and “Got My Mind Set On You”

Ringo-”You’re Sixteen”,”It Don’t Come Easy”,”Photograph” and “La De Da”

John-Imagine, Instant karma, Merr Xmas

george- If not for you
isnt it a pity

McCartney: Junk… and maybe something else, although I hate how incredibly cheesy the Band on the Run LP is

Lennon: Nobody Told Me, God, How?, Jealous Guy

Harrison: Who Can See It, All Things Must Pass

Ringo: The No No Song, Photograph

Mind Games
Imagine

Paul:Little Lamb Dragonfly and much of Ram including too many people. And of course, Maybe I’m Amazed.. Much of band on the run and Chaos and Creation too!

John: Instant Karma! Love, and God

George: I’ve got my mind set on you (great 80s cheesy video and n one has mentioned it!) Isn’t it a pity too.

Ringo:It dont come easy! Photograph. Does ringo have any other GREAT songs?

Paul-All of Band on the Run lp.
John- all of Walls and Bridges
George -All of All Things Must Pass
Ringo- All of Ringo lp.
There are brief explosions of brilliance in others but these are definitive, I think.

when i was a kid , i loved the “nobody told me¨ song before I knew who sun it.

ringo- you’re sixteen
george- beware of darkness, all those years ago, all things must pass, what is life
john- god, gimme some truth, just like starting over, working class hero
paul- jenny wren, maybe i’m amazed, let ‘em in

I remember seeing the repeat of it,so yeah.I think Linda was either playing the tambourine or the bongos,but it was cool though.

Does anyone remember Paul doing “Mary Had a Little Lamb”? Just watched him and Linda performing it on Flip Wilson…

Paul(my favorite)-”Say,Say,Say” feat. Michael Jackson,”Ebony & Ivory” feat. Stevie Wonder,”Band On The Run”,and that Christmas song(I forgot the name),

John-”Imagine”,”Inst ant Karma”,”Give Peace A Chance”,and “Whatever Gets You Through The Night” feat. Elton John

George-”I Got My Mind Set on You”,”Crackerbox Palace”,”My Sweet Lord”

Ringo-”Weight Of The World”,”It Don’t Come Easy”

Mccartney: here today, single pigeon
Lennon: starting over, How?
harrison: blowaway, devil’s radio
ringo: ?????????????

Lennon-Well Well Well
Mccartney-Uncle Albert Admiral Halsey
Harrison-Give me Love
Starr- It Dont Come Easy ??? what else

McCartney- live and let, maybe im amazed

lennon- imagine, instant karma!

Vanilla Sky
Instant Karma
Tired of Midnight Blue

God by John Lennon

“Apple Scruffs” George Harrison from All Things Must Pass. No question.

“Come Together” by the fifth Beatle, Michael Jackson…

Nobody said “Jealous Guy” by John? Jeez!

it’s sort of Stealers Wheel meets Harry Georgeson.

SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE please give a trophy to NEIL INNES for all of those incredible alternate-BEATLES-universe songs presented by the RUTLES.

Paul Should do “DoubleBack Alley”.

lennon - beautiful boy

mccartney - little lamb dragonfly

Paul-Almost anything with Paul including the last album “Chaos & Creation” is a masterpiece(should’ve won 2006 Grammy album of the year instead of U2). Also love the “Flaming Pie” CD. The only worst CD he release was “Driving Rain” but Paul can’t do anything wrong.

George-”All Things Must Pass” CD, “Traveling Wilburys” CD, “Crackerbox Palace”, “Blow Away”,”Got My mind Set On You” & “Brainwash”

Ringo-”It Don’t Come Easy”

this is some goofy shit. Did we mean to say Best (favorite) solo songs by each of the four guys who used to be Beatles?
Songs these guys did that weren’t credited to Beatles?

Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp.
Blood from a Clone.
Well, Well, Well. Move Over Ms. L.
Watching the Wheels.
Time Takes Time. I’m the Greatest.
It Don’t Come Easy.
1985.Smile Away. Venus & Mars.
the Fireman stuff. Liverpool Sound Collage.

George produced a band called Splinter.

oh yea.. Jackie Lomax does George’s “Sour Milk Sea”. it’s awesome.

Paul- Junior’s Farm, the long version that mentions the president and Ollie Hardy. I also like Helen Wheels and Jenny Wren.

John- I’m Losing You. I also like Love and Power To The People.

George- This is Love from the Cloud 9 album. I also like Love Comes To Everyone and Isn’t It A Pity.

Ringo- It Don’t Come Easy. I also dig Photograph and You’re 16.

McCARTNEY: Too much rain, Heaen on a sunday, Here Today, many more.

LENNON: Instant Karma

GEORGY: When we were Fab

RINGO: You’re sixteen
