Re: Your Number One Beatles Song
Come Together...
Absolutely the greatest radio moment of my life. My parents and I were leaving a department store we were at when the song came on the store radio as "the new one from The Beatles". I stood motionless and then turned to my dad and said, I'll meet you in the car. I made a straight line to the hi-fi department and heard the song in all of its glory. It was the heaviest impression of just how cool The Beatles really were. I had always been impressed by their poise and modesty but this was the COOLEST sound I had ever heard. The song is without peer!
And every time I hear it, I am 9 years old again.

Re: Your Number One Beatles Song
That is a great story. It is a pretty cool song, you're right. I think it is the contrast of the heavy weighed-down backing with John's tinny lofi vocal.Kwai Chang wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 8:07 am Come Together...

Love the anthology version of that one. So much more powerful.
