Beatle Songs: Top 20 "Growers."

[Paperback Writer]

Combining the effect of the re-masters of the Beatles catalogue with my ever-present fascination with Beatle songs, I have concluded that I have taken many songs for granted in the past.   Some songs I  under-listened to, some were under-appreciated at the time of their release -  resulting in me now having many Beatle songs to play now that feel almost new!

Yes, I have developed a new 'crush' on many Beatle songs, here's my Top 20 of these Beatles' 'growers.'

Interested if any folks here have their own Beatle 'growers?'

In no particular order:

Ask Me Why - Harmony galore, crafted perfectly

There's A Place- Early introspective song

It Won't Be Long- That crazy Beatle energy, with a searing John vocal, with rounded edges of harmony

I Call Your Name - Raw, primal beat driven

I Should Have Known Better - Still unique with harmonica and a 'different' John personna in this song

I'll Be Back - Voices, voices, voices!

You Can't Do That - John in urgent tones!

Things We Said Today - Perfect Paul melody, harmony - with an early sophisticated lyric.

What Your Doing? - Could have been a TopTen Hit! 

She Said, She Said - Always liked it, now it's absolutely hypnotic.

Within You, Without You - Re-masters help show how ahead of it's time it was.

Good Morning, Good Morning - Wish it was 2x longer

The Inner Light - Fabulous melody, convergence of Eastern/western music with genius lyrics

Hey Bulldog - This is on everybody's list!  Another Top Ten song if released back in the day.

It's All Too Much - That submarine had gold on it - over-looked movie soundtrack by gorgeous George.

I'm So Tired - Really hearing all the subleties now.

Two of Us - Another Top Ten single,  held back, this may become a standard by next century

One After 909 - Beatles 1960 live

I Dig A Pony - Preview of Beatles in the 70's

Old Brown Shoe - George and Paul in total synch, rollicking on---another look at never-to-be-Beatles 70
