T...As you know, I'm not a HUGE Beatles guy either. Though I do like them, I can generally get by with the Greatest Hits albums and be fine. Perhaps it says something, though, that a couple of what would probably be considered "underrated" Beatles songs have become favorites of mine as covers. It actually has led me back to the original versions for which I have gained greater appreciation. I guess that means I really should dig deeper into their catalog instead of waiting for some other band I like to cover them. Too much work, though. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, "Dig A Pony" is actually one of them -- God Street Wine did a killer cover of that live for many years. Loved it. <BR/><BR/>"Cry Baby Cry" is another. Phish, of course, covered the entire White album one Halloween. But this one stuck in their rotation for many years after. They did a lot of Beatles covers, but I think this was probably my favorite.<BR/><BR/>Finally, "She Said, She Said" might be my favorite Beatles tune. The Gov't Mule version is what caught my attention first.hendgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894100402511546572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628395291281556778.post-47796045631469690272008-09-10T14:15:00.000-04:002008-09-10T14:15:00.000-04:00Like anyone knows that the Faces sing Ooh La La.Like anyone knows that the Faces sing Ooh La La.Goosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11186155716832914840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628395291281556778.post-73710891532149582892008-09-10T13:51:00.000-04:002008-09-10T13:51:00.000-04:00Outside of "Ooh La La", I'd agree with you.Outside of "Ooh La La", I'd agree with you.Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00931759862754225872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628395291281556778.post-15334023977836012662008-09-10T13:36:00.000-04:002008-09-10T13:36:00.000-04:00It was going to be "Underrated Songs by the Faces,...It was going to be "Underrated Songs by the Faces," but that would have been their entire catalog.Goosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11186155716832914840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628395291281556778.post-10858303358104397152008-09-10T13:24:00.000-04:002008-09-10T13:24:00.000-04:00Wait...

Way to be a friend, a-hole.<BR/><BR/>The SeeqPod applet is blocked here at work, but I'm going to go with "In My Life" as my favorite Beatles song. Is it on your list?<BR/><BR/>I still maintain that a band universally regarded as the best of all time where George Harrison is the 3rd-best songwriter (by a large margin) is incapable of being underrated.<BR/><BR/>And you bastardized my Stones argument. It wasn't that they were doing similar things, it was that the things they were doing differently (harder-edged R&B/Blues rock) are more my taste than what the Beatles were doing.<BR/><BR/>Hell, I'd probably take the Faces over the Beatles if I had both on my iPod to choose from.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate the Beatles and what they've done, but they don't hit me like other bands do.Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00931759862754225872noreply@blogger.com
