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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
I'm sticking with my quixotic choice, "I Dig A Pony."
I, ah-ah-I, ah-ah-I, diiig a pony... Love that tune. I'd pick "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" over "Cry Baby Cry," but I'm a Lennon partisan & like almost all of his stuff on the White Album (don't like "Revolution 9," although I do like to go "Numbrrr 9, numbrrr 9, numbrrr 9"). But any snob cred I have is probably lost -- boohoo -- by my preference for early Beatles over late Beatles. I mean I love late Beatles, too, but anyone who tries to devalue With the Beatles using Sgt. Pepper as the blunt instrument needs to be smacked. And keeping with that train of thought, my quixotic choice is from Please Please Me, John's killer cover of "Anna (Go to Him)". Love him on "Baby It's You," too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'd say it takes up less than 1% of my snobbery pie chart.
Where are you spending the rest of your snobbery?

Ann, that's a ferret.
My take on the Beatles is, after 30 years of listening to oldies (and hits-n-oldies) stations play everything from their catalog every hour on the hour, I've had enough of them.
Except "Penny Lane," for some reason.
And anyone who calls me a rock snob doesn't know my taste in music.

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?
Aha! That explains Peter Bagge!
Actually, as a general principle, I don't think snobs about anything typically go against the snobbery grain. I suspect that there's generally agreed apogees and most argument is about which marginal item should or shouldn't be in. The difference with rock snobs is that those margins are more extensive than with many other pastimes.

I disremember where the line of demarcation is for the sides, b/c I've had it on CD for 15 years.
Though I'ma say side 2.

Join me, fellow weirdo. Welcome to the corner of shame.
One of us! One of us!
Which side?
2, dude.

You flip it after "I Want You (She's So Heavy)".

Seriously? That seems too soon to flip it. But, like I said, I have the CD, so I'm taking your statement on faith.
