I'll play!

Please Please Me            - "Do You Want To Know a Secret!"           
  - George's nasal voice on this ... Ugh!
With The Beatles             - "I Wanna Be Your Man"                  
           - Awful throwaway Ringo-fluff, although the Stones toughened 
it up and made it better
A Hard Day's Night           - "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You"       
   - I don't actually dislike any song on this album, but this is 
probably the closest to filler material
Beatles For Sale              - "Mr Moonlight"                           
               - No contest!
Help!                               - "I've Just Seen A Face"           
                  - To me this sounds very un-Beatle-like
Rubber Soul                    -"What Goes On"                       
                 - Ringo strikes again
Revolver                          - "Yellow Submarine"                   
                - and again (also, comedy songs wear very thin, very 
quickly)
Sergeant Pepper's           - "Within You Without You"               
           - George lectures us on the errors of our ways (set to to 
Indian restaurant background music)
Magical Mystery Tour      - "Blue Jay Way"                       
                  - An endless George one-chord drone
The Beatles (White Album)        - "Rocky Raccoon"                       
      - just pure Macca drivel - I prefer Rev 9 to this
Yellow Submarine           - "Yellow Submarine"                       
             - It's still awful two years on from Revolver.
Abbey Road                   - "Sun King"                               
                  - Bo Ring
Let It Be                        - "One After 909"                       
                    - I DO like the version on Anthology much better
Past Masters                 - "The Inner Light"                       
                   - More unsolicited Indian teachings from George
               

In case anyone thinks I am anti-George, I think "Old Brown Shoe" is a 
fine song, as is "Long, Long, Long" (as are many of George's late period 
Beatles fare)    .  I just happen to find his songs infinitely better 
when not swamped in Eastern mysticism and sitars.  

PS What's this in the news about some US website straming the Beatles 
for free and flogging MP3 files for 25c each?  Bluebeat.com is the site 
- I've never heard of them.  EMI are reportedly very annoyed.
