This is blasphemy.

I cannot in good conscience listen to this assault on all that is good in the world.

But I'll be back for #80 😁

men0aren0niceguy.bsky.social•93 days ago

Eh, I was just blowing off steam.

If James Campion can hear you out, so can I.

I get your argument about overexposure. That's reasonable. But I still think #81 is too low on the list.

Hey Jude is ranked as number 1 on my list, ahead of “A Day In The Life” at number 2, and I’m Only Sleeping at number 3. This song is the reason I named my son Jude.

rankingthebeatles.bsky.social•93 days ago

I won't say you're wrong with that top 3!

tylerjw.bsky.social•92 days ago

Another great podcast, as usual. Looking forward to the next one!

rankingthebeatles.bsky.social•92 days ago

Thank you!!

At least you had the decency to wait a day so I wouldn’t throw up my thanksgiving dinner. You’re about 81 off.

rankingthebeatles.bsky.social•93 days ago

Heat up some leftovers and tune in :)

dribbledfiddler.bsky.social•94 days ago

You were right, you are definitely going to get torched, but not by me.

rankingthebeatles.bsky.social•94 days ago

Ha! (Honestly, give me All Around the World if we're looking at 7+ min Na Na songs)

dribbledfiddler.bsky.social•94 days ago

That one could be 1-2 minutes shorter for me but I LOVE it.

badlilboy.bsky.social•93 days ago

Bold choice, but I like it. Hey Jude is a great song, but I'm not as often in the mood to listen to it as I am most of their other songs

Thank you! Co-signed!

I loved this episode. As a huge Shout It Out Loudcast fan I’m very familiar with James. This song would have been in the 200s for me but I agree Wilson Pickett’s version is good. Elvis did a great version too during his killer American Sound sessions in 1969.

mrtb411.bsky.social•94 days ago

I'd have been done with it back in the 100s! I was sure you'd have it in the top 30 and I'd be the one saying "don't hurt me". I do enjoy the na na nas if I'm in the mood though.

Solidarity

I dont disagree, and I could relate to every argument, but for me it would be even more accurate if you were talking about Penny Lane. I feel whenever Beatles appear on Norwegian radio it's Penny Lane. Great song, but change it up, please.

rankingthebeatles.bsky.social•92 days ago

That’s interesting! I wonder if that’s one of the more popular ones from a streaming perspective geographically there

bristolmoggy.bsky.social•94 days ago

While I disagree with your ranking (massively 😜 ) it is a personal ranking. But the pressure on the next few songs is going to be huge 😂

rankingthebeatles.bsky.social•94 days ago

I suspect next episode will likely not redeem me quite yet 😂

bristolmoggy.bsky.social•81 days ago

I've just seen what the next song is...oh dear, I think you're beyond redemption now. 😜

I haven't been able to watch Ted Lasso (yet), but just hearing @juliapretus.bsky.social 's description of the scene choked me up. 🥹

juliapretus.bsky.social•91 days ago

Ah I hope you can at some point! It’s such a balm for the soul, especially in tough times. 💗

nigeltufnell.bsky.social•93 days ago

Spot on with this. It’s an all time great but you can spot a casual Beatles fan from a diehard if they say Hey Jude is their favourite song because they probably haven’t delved deep
Into the catalogue and soaked everything up. It’s brilliant but I agree with your sentiment that “it’s done its job”

rankingthebeatles.bsky.social•92 days ago

I dunno if I’d say HJ as a favorite marks anyone specially as a casual just because of I’ve learned anything with this podcast, we all have very different relationships with the Beatles and their music. But I follow ya!

nigeltufnell.bsky.social•93 days ago

I would still belt it out if it comes on in the car or the jukebox, but get much more joy out of listening to And Your Bird Can Sing and such like
