Re: What are the 101 Fabbest Fab tracks?

Except for Dylan, who's also recently had this Mojo treatment (& which was included), i think it's actually unfair on most other artists to include this list since most other artists haven't & never will have it.

Charlie

Jun 3rd, 2006 - 11:40 AM

Re: What are the 101 Fabbest Fab tracks?

...saying that i guess Dylan & the Beatles suffer by not being on any best song end of year lists (at least, 'cos we don't have them).

Re: What are the 101 Fabbest Fab tracks?

...but isn't that still little compensation for the far more all time lists they've already had the advantage of having been on, compared to most other artists ?

Re: What are the 101 Fabbest Fab tracks?

Tommorow Never Knows should hav been #1 on that Mojo list. Strawberry Fields Forever should have been no higher than #5. And what the hell was Ob-La-Di,Ob-La-Da doing on there?

Henrik

Re: What are the 101 Fabbest Fab tracks?

Songs by all other artists will be blanked when I include this list. So another Beatles list will on the whole not be in a lot of favor for them. Some Beatles songs will move up, some will move down and all the other songs will stay where they are.

I am so happy that "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" is in the Top 10. Amazing song that you don't hear too much of.
