Buffy ,'Dirty Girls'
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.
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 really like Abbey Road. There. I said it.
Which side?
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)".
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.
Where are you spending the rest of your snobbery?
you know general stuff. How to act, agreeing with me, having general knowledge, not being stupid, inner strength, victimitis.
although I do like to go "Numbrrr 9, numbrrr 9, numbrrr 9")
Dude, the BF and can't hear the phrase "Number nine" without doing that, which is followed by one or the other of us piping up with "And we shall become naked." Luckily, we don't so this sort of thing in public, orour friends would hate us.

Yep. I haven't played my vinyl copy in years, but I seem to remember that there's a lock groove after "Her Majesty," too.
(The way it always plays in my head is "Someday I'm gonna make her mine." Bomp. Pause. Fffft. "Someday I'm gonna make her mine." Bomp. Pause. Fffft. "Someday I'm gonna"... You get the picture.)
Where's boucher? He can make an excellent iconoclastic rock snob case for one of the American editions over the British one from the Beatles mid-period.
The inclusion of "I've Just Seen a Face" -- which tempts me to recant every nasty thing I've ever said about Paul -- and the deletion of "Nowhere Man" make the American version of Rubber Soul better than the UK version. I like "Drive My Car" a lot, but I'm willing to let it go because "I've Just Seen a Face" fits the sound and tone of the album -- as the lead track sets, along with the second song "Norwegian Wood," the tone and sound of the album -- much better, culminating in Lennon combining the beauty and wistfulness of the former with the regret and sadness of the latter in the album's high point, "In My Life".
Is that the case you were talking about?
