PaulWarning Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) I've just been loading the entire Beatles catalogue onto my phone, trouble is I was running out of space so I deleted the songs I don't like, got me thinking, seeing as we're stuck at home maybe fellow basschaters would like to say whether they agree or not. These are the ones I deleted. Till There Was You Yesterday Eleanor Rigby Yellow Submarine Within You Without You When I'm 64 Wild Honey Pie Martha My Dear Piggies Rocky Raccoon Why Don't We Do It In The Road I Will Julie Mother Nature's Son Honey Pie Revolution 9 Maxwell's Silver Hammer The Fool On The Hill Flying Blue Jay Way Your Mother Should know All You Need Is Love You may have noticed a lot off the White Album, I'm with George Martin on this one, it would have made a great single album, not a fan of Macca's tweeness either, I also cut Hey Jude down to 3.45, that ending is way too long Edited March 22, 2020 by PaulWarning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 It’s not clear what you’ve asked. Are you saying these are the ones you’ve cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I would have kept Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine and Yesterday for sure. Probably a few of the others too. It’s your list though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikel Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) As pointed out its your list So no such thing as a bad choice. But cut Eleanor Rigby? Seriously? The string arrangement is wonderful.

Seriously? yeah, I like the rocky stuff mainly and I don't think any of the others play on it, could be wrong, some I've just got fed up with hearing them, that's one of them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I would also live without Yellow Submarine, When I'm 64, Piggies and Rocky Racoon. Eleanor Rigsby always been a favourite of mine though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 If I downloaded all the Beatles back catalogue, then systematically deleted the tracks I didn't like a/ it would take me an awfully long time and b/ I would have exactly the same amount of free space on my phone as before I started Not much help but you have asked for opinions. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Of the 268 files in my 'Beatles Remastered' folder, I had already made a personal 'Yes, I'll listen to those' folder, which contains exactly 61 titles. The others I don't really care for, or should really delete. There's at least a couple from most albums, but nothing from Abbey Road, for example. Even from my 'Favourites' list, I wouldn't want them played in a repeated loop. A quick play of one or two, now and again in the course of a year, suffices largely for me. I consider myself to be a fan, generally, but not fanatically so. S'not all good to my ears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of rubber soul and revolver too. yes I'm with you on Rubber Soul and Revolver is probably my favourite album apart from the single released from it, but as I've said it's probably because I've got fed up with hearing them for that reason And Your Bird Can Sing is my favourite Beatles track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrunoBass Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I’d have kept the first four, I can live without the rest. Interesting that you kept ‘Don’t Pass Me By’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
