No surprise to me: Nearly every song (save 4 if I counted correctly) are pre-RUBBER SOUL

Biggest surprise: Revolution 9 wasn't number 1?!? Or even among the group?!?

Lesser surprise: I realize "Her Majesty" is a "ditty" but it's quite charming.

Revolution 9 is part of an album so people listening to The White Album wouldn’t miss it.

What You're Doing would be the underrated track of this set for me - one of their best pre-Rubber Soul tracks!

Awesome content, thanks for the video Bruce. Somehow I knew "Her Majesty" would be on this list. I guess I'm a little surprised that stuff like "Wild Honey Pie" missed out though!

Also, pretty notable that almost every song is pre-Rubber Soul, and of the songs that aren't, 2 of the 3 are from the oft-forgotten Yellow Submarine soundtrack. Proof I guess that over the years the Beatles have become more associated with their later period masterpieces than the early era Beatlemania?

True, but so is Abbey Road and that didn't stop "Her Majesty" from being their least played song! So either...

1. The White Album is way more popular than Abbey Road (this I doubt as their levels of acclaim and sales are roughly equal [The White Album has twice as many sales logged as Abbey Road, but as it's a double album, that doubling of sales will cancel itself out])

2. "Revolution 9" is somehow more appealing than "Her Majesty" (this I also doubt, as an 8 minute musique concrete piece is not more accessible than a 23 second ditty)

3. People are turning off Abbey Road after the penultimate song "The End" (this I can get behind, the penultimate Abbey Road track is called "The End", and the fact that the song ends with a 17 second silence would make many listeners believe the album to be finished)

Spotify only counts a song as played if you listen for 30 seconds. That's why "Her Majesty," which is less than 30 seconds long, has so few plays.

If your next question is "how does it have any plays then?" If you listen to it twice in a row, or restart the song midway, that would count as one play.

That makes more sense then. I will assume that's what's "at play" here. *rimshot*

If this is all he does, fine. But I'm wondering why he doesn't just give it a rest and move on to greener pastures. What would keep him coming back here?

But that's his whole shtick - post innocuously at first until ramping back up to his usual self. We're the frogs, he's the boiling water.

He dropped 4 links, 3 of which had no intro or comment or anything except for the thread title, then commented on the all time songs poll with a Charles Manson song.

Steve333 was banned some days ago but I haven't said it on the forum. I don't feel fine banning a new member that hasn't done anything wrong so far. But he was obviously Bruce, so...

Steve333 made 7 posts with very little identifying information in them (one post was simply "It's good!") and yet a good number of forumers were able to independently reach the conclusion that he was probably Bruce/Hymie (myself included).

Which begs the question: If Bruce/Hymie wants to stay on this forum (which he obviously does, Steve333 was his FOURTH account), why doesn't he just make his posting style less obvious? I have nearly 3,000 posts on this forum and I'm sure if I made an alternate account I could easily rack up several hundred posts before anyone even suspected the alternate account was me.

It was the relentless YouTube links that tipped me off. And I wouldn't last that long...I'd go a while and then "something something Eurovision" UH-OH SPAGHETTI-O out I go.

Hey all, new here.

Wanted to say I'm sad to see Mr. Moonlight, Kansas City, and Devil in Her Heart get so little play.

At least Honey Don't has found its rightful place as the least played real Beatles song (sorry to Her Majesty).

But apparently there's some AMF pariah?

Welcome! Yes, there’s a fellow who’s gone by several names here (Bruce and Hymie were his longest-tenured aliases) who’s mostly known for favoring old-school R&B, hating anything alternative, and getting into nonsensical, elitist, bigoted arguments with forum members here. He is not missed.

I'll keep an eye out. I've been browsing the main site for a few years now, thought it'd be fun to head to the forums.
