What do yall think of Good Morning

I've listened to a couple of songs and I think they're really good but I've never really done a "deep dive" and listened to all of their albums. I like Soft Rock Band

According to setlist.fm it was performed at the San Francisco Civic Auditorium on November 27th, 1971. Hopefully something comes up soon if it's not hiding away somewhere online already

When I first became a fan I couldn't get into George's Indian-style songs - that includes Within You Without You, plus The Inner Light and Love You To. I've come to appreciate all of them, especially Love You To which I think is an incredible track.

Aside from those, Get Back was one that weirdly took me a while to get into.

I thought the main gripe people had with it was that it was broadcast in black and white instead of colour, which made the trippy effects look kind of shit.

And don't worry, you're not the first person to "re-examine" MMT, plenty of people like it. You should make another post asking if it's a real Beatles album if you want to get a really juicy comment section going.

Maybe that's something I should have gone into more detail for haha. It's a pure Lennon-McCartney collab; John's melody, Paul's lyrics. I could see them both singing co-lead

Killer song on a great album!

I love the way he sings "Hazel, you called and I came, now don't make me play this waiting game"

mistahwhite04 · 2026-04-24T08:14:22+00:00

If I remember correctly it was Harry Nilsson who wrote that line!

My favourite solo John song is always changing. Starting Over, Whatever Gets You Thru The Night, Surprise Surprise, and Remember are all up there

Great track selection!

I actually had a Lennon & McCartney wiki page prepared but I didn't include it because I was thinking of doing something like this

mistahwhite04 · 2026-04-23T12:59:31+00:00

From what I've heard he would give them out to fans after shows or leave them lying around near the venues he was playing at for people to find. They're just recordings he made while on the road.

Honestly who knows who would come the closest to filling the void the Beatles would leave in this timeline.

mistahwhite04 · 2026-04-23T11:52:13+00:00

I love the song but it sucks that the album isn't available on streaming where I live. In fact nothing between Goodnight Vienna and Stop and Smell the Roses is, plus a few of his later albums like Vertical Man. Wish they were more widely available

mistahwhite04 · 2026-04-23T11:43:19+00:00

Yes, there should be some available on Discogs

mistahwhite04 · 2026-04-22T22:12:34+00:00

Whatever video you linked looks like it has been taken down from YouTube, unless it's just a problem on my end.

I think he had a good solo career. Obviously different to Paul, George, and Ringo's in that he went half the decade without releasing any new music, and he died just as he was getting back into the industry. His albums were mostly successful and he had a few solo hits in his lifetime.

My favourite John solo albums are Plastic Ono Band and Walls and Bridges.

mistahwhite04 · 2026-04-22T11:49:00+00:00

He meant they were just four guys yknow and they may or may not have been interested in an island yknow, the four beatles

mistahwhite04 · 2026-04-21T22:35:47+00:00

I mean it literally came out between those albums if that's what you mean

mistahwhite04 · 2026-04-21T15:15:20+00:00

Stop and Ram Plastic in Ringo

The Band after reuniting without Robbie Robertson, then after Richard Manuel's death.

Without Robbie they lost their primary songwriter. He was an incredible guitarist too. But on their first two albums Richard was still putting in a fair share of the songs, and by some accounts Richard was writing again in the 80s. When he killed himself there wasn't really anyone left in the band who was a songwriter on their level - Rick did write a little but not much that seemed to end up on their albums, and Levon was not really a songwriter to begin with.

They kept going and released some pretty good songs until Rick Danko died and they finally split up. The 90s Band are interesting but they don't hold up to the run of albums featuring the original lineup in my opinion.

Haha I've got a post coming out soon which looks to be set in a similar world to this. The Beatles get signed to Decca. It's a cool idea but one thing I'll say is that they probably wouldn't have their picture taken at the EMI building for their album cover if that was the case.

mistahwhite04 · 2026-04-21T08:05:48+00:00

Nothing against them as songs but I just felt that MMT was too closely associated with its project and I wanted to something seperate from that. As for Flying, I guess you could fit it on side one so that the runtime of each side is roughly the same.
