Jayne ,'Serenity'
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.
To be fair, though, I feel like I've internalized the Beatles to the extent that I hardly ever listen to them.
This is how I feel about them, which is why when I listen to them these days, it's usually the earlier stuff.
My fave, despite being a really nasty song (or maybe that's a because), is "Run For Your Life".
Does anyone know who the guy is in the Yes "Owner of a Lonely Heart" video is? I have NO REASON to need this information, other than having the song come up on Launchcast, and suddenly idly wondering.

Guy with a crewcut and a suit who keeps having spazz attacks in a vaguely dystopian corporate downtown? Nope.
Yeah, that guy.
I just remember the plates of snakes and bugs.
My favorite Beatles album remains Let it Be.
My favorite songs are probably "All My Loving" (sweet) and "I've Got A Feeling" or "Get Back" (rockin').
On the subject of music snobbery, my roommate and I are engaged in a cold war. We've only lived together 2 and a half months and the music battles have begun. He will NOT let me put my iPod on shuffle in the car our in or living room if he is home. The other night coming out of a bar I asked him why we couldn't listen to my damn iPod in the car for a change and he actually said to me "I hear the stuff that comes out of your room. Ugh." .... UGH??? We've been clycing through the same 1000 songs on his iPod for weeks. Oh - hey could it be Neil Young? Again!?
I kid, sort of, we've been best friends for over 10 years and this is normal for us. It's his car, anyway.
I really like Abbey Road. There. I said it.
Mr. H loves the Beatles with an unholy love. Abbey Rd is one of my favorites. We had a whole drunken theory- which I will stand by even sober- about how slashy "Oh Darlin'" re: John & Paul.
Susan and erinaceous - since your playlists were in your LJs I went and made some comments. Will make more comments on others later.

I physically can't listen to that. When I was doing my "listen to every song in my iTunes library" project, it took significant willpower to stop me from skipping the song.
I've never found the Beatles interesting, for some reason. I'm sick of 90 percent of the hits, and I'm not really interested enough to explore the lesser-known stuff. In the church of the Beatles, I am an apostate.
Let It Be is my favorite too. I'm quite fond of "Two of Us"--it's so happy and carefree and sunshiney and pretty.
