I got 2 things out of that: 1) That song is really horrible, and 2) It pretty much confirmed what I already have stated time and time again in arguments about the Beatles, which is that all these so called innovations people credit them with, were all the work of high paid producers or appropriations of other people’s ideas and work.
Thanks, John! Well, except for making me listen to that crappy song.
You want to know what the crux of it is? I really hate John Lennon’s voice. Like a lot. The few Beatles songs that I can tolerate are all Paul songs. And Paul’s tend to be more straightforward pop and fluff, which as you said, I like. I don’t love Paul songs but I don’t hate them to the degree that I hate Lennon songs which A) Have him singing on them, and B) try to have this forced experimentation or rock edge to them, and just end up being annoying rather than good pop.
