I second your opinion.
The only time I would switch away from 89 was to go "Beeker Street" with Clyde Clifford on KAAY Little Rock, also loud & clear at night in MN.
Great radio days, golden age of pop and rock.
Oh man, I well remember Beeker Street and Clyde Clifford...always that spooky music in the background.
Both Smothers and Frost. Due to technology differences in Britain vs. the US, two recordings were made.
Okay, so I wasn’t totally wrong...I was considered “the Beatles expert” back in the day.
“I honestly cannot stand this song.
Worst Beatles song.”
Let It Be just as bad lol !
TAXMAN !!
Well, yes. I didn't understand many of their later songs.
But 50 years ago, in transit across Europe to a new Navy duty station, two ship-mates and I sang along with "Hey Jude" during three days of driving. (Armed Forces Radio, among other stations).
'Still a favorite of mine. :)
Abbey Road is the best album ever. Then they broke up and ended at the perfect time.
Taxman great song . Lennon and McCartney’s lyrics overall were pretty banal . George wrote this . 1965-1966 ( Help to Revolver ) my fave period . Didn’t much like anything they did after Revolver . Prior to 65 mostly teeny bopper music compared to The Stones and The Kinks . Without George Martin and Brian Epstein they never would have made it as big as they did .
Worse than Yellow Submarine?
Wilson Pickets version at Muscle Shoals with Duane Allman on slide is as good of not better
Duanes lead guitar solos at the end are in reality the birth of Southern Rock

God (sir Eric) says its best rock guitar solo hes ever heard
One morning in 2008, my favorite oldie station had suddenly gone Country. First student into my classroom hit the wall and angrily hollered they’d taken off his radio station. Couldn’t believe so many teens listened to oldies.
KLIF 1190 during the day. Ken Dow & Granny Emma, Jimmy Rabbitt, Johnny Dark.... I really liked The Beach Boys better than the Beatles. After about 1966 the Beatles music did not have a good beat and you couldnt dance to it. Which was ironic, since their name was Beatles which would seem to signify having a good beat for dancing. But they left off making music for dancing and turned to music for navel gazing. :(
I feel exactly the same way. I can’t stand it. There are so many other Beatles songs more worthy of the praise heaped upon this one.
