Each one was doing his own thing by then. But it's got some of my favourite Beatles songs on it, and I really like most of the others as well. The only songs I usually skip are the one mentioned above, "Julia" and "Revolution 9" (I can just imagine Lennon thinking "The conspiracy nuts will go crazy over this" as he was compiling it!
 )
I even love the goofy songs (Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Bungalow Bill, Rocky Raccoon, Honey Pie) probably because I came to this album when I was a kid... |

Supposedly Paul came up with the idea in India when he saw a couple of monkeys copulating on the road and wondered why people were too "civilized" to do it.
I guess I was too young to pick up on the silliness and my distaste for the song stayed with me... |

109. Oddly enough, I started a thread about hearing the same crap enough times
|
The thread is:
The artist/song you once loved that you are sick to death of hearing now. ..and I get that the song was overplayed -- especially in the 90s. Honestly, I don't hear it that often now. In this part of the world, I mostly hear Kashmir (which I'll never say sucks, but I am sick of hearing on the radio) and Black Dog. So what it comes down to is you hate the song and I love it...of course, you like ELO -- a band that I'd rank musically right alongside Barry Manilow.  |

I really like Fire on High, even though I'm not a fan of much prog. (But I love Yes and King Crimson and most classical) so go figure. Strange Magic and I Can't Get It out My Head I appreciate. After that they just got too "pop" for me. I love his (Lynnes) work with the Wilburys, but who doesn't, except those without a soul.
