Xander ,'Beneath You'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Hah! I didn't think it was "cool" for Snobs to like ANY Beatles at all.
It's always cool to find the hidden gem, even moreso when the whole catalog is so well known. It validates your discerning ear.
I'm sticking with my quixotic choice, "I Dig A Pony."

Yes! I only know it because an uber-cool music pusher friend put it on a mix for me once.
Oh, and by the way, the cool Beatles song for Snobs to like is “Cry Baby Cry,” off Side 4 of the White Album.
Actually, it's "Long Long Long," which clearly sets the stage for the dreamy space-rock of Big Star's Sister Lovers. And Lisah, of course Rock Snobs (or "Useless-Americans" in our prefered parlance) can like the Beatles, as long as it's either a) "the only real Beatles albums are Rubber Soul, Revolver, or the White Album, man" or b) "I only listen to the first four albums when the Beatles actually knew how to rock."
What does your friend look like Mr. Industries?
Short, goateed, Latino. Front and center a couple of times and off to one side towards the end.

I've always been partial to: "Wouldn't it be great if the Ramones had covered 'Polythene Pam'?"
It's also cool to cite McCartney's bass playing.
My favorite Beatles is "One After 909," especially the early version from Anthology 1.
t hastily hides Abbey Road under the couch cushion....
That's a whole new level to Rock Snobbery, David. Maybe it's something different.
Rocky the Raccoon. That is all.
I think the only Beatles album that no one thinks is cool to like is Sgt. Pepper.
Not that it's not good. Just that it's not "cool" to like it.
They may well have been referring to "That 70's Show", but I have a vague memory of hearing them during an actual WB show -- maybe "Gilmore Girls"
That was it Jon! I couldn't remember and kept wanting to say 7th Heaven, but I knew that couldn't be right.
Don't you have to disagree with popular opinion to be a snob? And if so, when you make public what snobs are supposed to like, doesn't that become a popular opinion so you have to change yours to something else?
it reminds me of middle school when the cool kids started wearing Guess jeans instead of - can't remember what was popular before that- anyway, suddenly everyone had to have the Guess jeans, so the cool kids had to move on to Gasoline.
I prefer to wander through AMG and iTunes or get recs or even go to a local show than to try to figure out what I should like. Though I have to admit, I have to respect people who listen to enough music that they can be all snobby about it.
