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

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
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:16 (six years ago) link
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
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:26 (six years ago) link
"photograph" too low
yea the acoustic version of Watching the Wheels is one of John's highest points
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:28 (six years ago) link
acoustic version of Starting Over is ace, too

bobby keys' solo on photograph is some of his best ever work.

The different lyrics always put me off. Also, it’s missing the greatest double-tracked vocal of all time.― Naive Teen Idol, Tuesday, June 5, 2018 2:39 PM (six minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
true, also that great descending piano riff
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:47 (six years ago) link
idk after hearing the acoustic version, the studio version always sounds overdone to me.
i like the lyrics better in the acoustic version too
― 808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:49 (six years ago) link
it's very thin sounding

I feel like post-Voorman John's stuff is often lacking in the low end/bass dept.

aaaaaaaaaa COMING UP
this placing so high is one of those only-on-ILM idiosyncrasies, I would think. Like, nowhere else in the internet or the world would this spring to mind as people's favorite Macca song.
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 5 June 2018 19:29 (six years ago) link
canceled out of course by the massive lol of discovering that after all that, turrican didn't vote.
Indeed, and I've already explained one reason why this was the case - you might have been willing to cobble together a ballot at the last nanosecond with whatever, but I wasn't. Another reason is that, well, for some of us, putting together a list of 100 Beatles solo songs isn't actually number one on their list of priorities. I would have loved to have submitted a ballot, but I didn't - and if that's your idea of humour then fucking hell, get out more.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 19:30 (six years ago) link
"Coming Up" nowhere near my list. I didn't know deejays flipped the single over and made the live version the hit; I thought it was always so.

I love the fact that 'Why' and 'Cold Turkey' were a tie, those two songs fit nicely together in my mind!

beginning to think the track i voted for as #1 has a real shot of being the actual #1

ooh
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 19:43 (six years ago) link
was it "press"
'Why' is absolutely phenomenal, IMO. A good few years ahead of its time without a doubt. People who slag Yoko are fucking dickheads.
I thought '#9 Dream' would have been in the top ten... While 'Whatever Gets You Through The Night' got to number one in the US, I don't think it deserved it any where near as much as '#9 Dream', which is one of Lennon's finest songs - easily as good as anything he did while in The Beatles.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 19:44 (six years ago) link
I really, really hope that 'Press' is in the Top 10!

i had given up on "no words" placing, i didn't know if it was *this* beloved. but if it does i'm thrilled, it's my top paul track
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 19:47 (six years ago) link
'#9 Dream' is all about the production and the string arrangement and the way the chords change on "I thought I could hear" and etc.

Those predictions sound about right

#9 Dream is basically a track from All Things Must Pass
― 808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 19:49 (six years ago) link
I'd be very surprised to see 'No Words', but fully expecting the cult of John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band to help those twin pillars of millionaire whinge-rock climb the uppermost reaches of the chart.
