ahhh yes. VICIOUS

AWWW

wasn't being sarcastic before, i fucking love ringo's drumming on "hold on"

I love John's guitar on this album.

def feel this is too low, but I couldn't put it at my number 1 since I had to make room for Imagine (granted this would have only bumped it up a couple spots but still)

23. Awaiting On You All - George Harrison (feat. George, Ringo) (1069 points, 14 votes)

John, Klaus, and Ringo is such a killer rock trio xp

wtf at these lyrics

And while the Pope owns fifty one percent of General Motors
And the stock exchange is the only thing he's qualified to quote us

in which George is both spiritually generous *and* sneeringly bitchy at the same time!

xp

certainly the sprightliest song about Krishna in pop history

I love that line, even if it has zero basis in fact

"awaiting on you all" was my no. 1 for a long time, eventually demoted to no. 2, pretty sure no upcoming song is better than this one except for...

Those last two John songs are both amazing. Really love the whole 'there in the room' sound/feel of POB.

22. Walking on Thin Ice - Yoko Ono (feat. John) (1073 points, 15 votes, 1 No. 1 vote))

hey it's my no. 1

i mean it's obv an incredible yoko song, but john's guitar

genius

this is also why i think it was great to open up the poll to anything a beatle played on

btw all of the versions of "walking on thin ice" on spotify are modern remixes, so it'll be missing from the playlist

sleeve image always makes me think of Shel Silverstein for some reason, just the way her face is growing out of his head

unsurprised this is the only track from mind games to place

that's cool, never seen the 45 pic sleeve

i also think this song is a tad long for how many actual ideas are in it, but it's a great hook

"Working Class Hero" my #1, easy choice

shoutout to the radio DJ who played this on the air after he died, I was listening

"handle with care" was one of the potential no. 1s in my head. i couldn't resist voting for it, it's such a good time

honestly surprised Mind Games placed so high. love it though

no love for Bring on the Lucie??

I voted for it

Mind Games is the only album from which I drew nothing. What a nattering, unfocused, dull album.

"bring on the lucie" is ok

xp aw I like the title track, appropriately anthemic

i've got a bad memory associated with "mind games" so i didn't vote for it myself

ATMP the track is so gorgeous, was my #6

Mind Games is def unfocused and limp-sounding

voted for watching the wheels very highly, even tho i don't like the studio version.

the acoustic version, though...

what a long paulless stretch

"photograph" too low

yea the acoustic version of Watching the Wheels is one of John's highest points
