Yes, both repititious and boring. Although I do like both bands.

I like this version best. Seems to exude the "happening" between musicians in the studio.

Has anyone seen the movie "Across the Universe"? The version of this song sung in the movie is very powerful. This song swept across a nation, and a time, and will last forever.

I'm still that young in mind which is all that matters, I guess! This is a better version. {#Cool}

"So repetitive" many here may say - I'm surprised no one else has written it. I've always preferred this version (with the guitar solo) to the single version.

Yes, the "naked" version is far cleaner. Spector threw a lot of slop in this version. A shame.

Spector's version is not my personal favourite, but the song survives to it. {#Angel}

Because this is one of the closing anthems for the Beatles, I've always found it a bit of a downer, like the end of a long and wonderful relationship. It's a lovely, beautiful but wistful song but it's almost a lament about what is missing.

Yes, I know what you mean... but I choose to revel in the glory of it all... this whole album, with this anthem song, is as good as it gets...

There is no issue - just a comment. It has mainly to do with the high rating, which surprises me. It's not a bad song at all. I just checked the rating on my favorite Beatles song, Rain. That is 8.3. I think that is a really great song. If we are going for popular McCartney Beatles, then I'd take Yesterday over this. I would give that a 10. I don't find this to be a very edgy or moving song. Like I said, it's not bad. 9.1 puts it among the highest rated songs on RP. I am wondering why, that is all.

Sorry ppl, but i did not click this link to join in an useless fight about which of a band members was more important or how that other musicians rate vs this group. Doesn't the word band imply that all of them matter? They were a great group and i think we liked the unity they showed at the time! Doesn't the top 100 song list for each year compare 1 musician to another? Didn't they top this list in their day? Rather then do that enjoy the music! As for more foolish squabbles, " Let it BE! " ;-P

i thought we were all here to post our own thought(s) on the music. you got to think for yourself. in the long run, you will like who you are more if you do just that! forget about fitting in to an ever changing society. history shows us society is wrong most of the time! learn how to make yourself happy and others around you will also be more happy. =D

Still of all the posts below, i think this was the most funny . That has to count for something, non?

Well. Can I just drop in here there are occasions over the years when I have seen other members ratings have none in '10 godlike'.

I have a strong suspicion it is because they are religious and can't bear to click something 'Godlike' or they will be expelled from THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AND BE CAST ASUNDER TO THE HELLFIRE OF DAMNATION!

Me? Fuck it - I'll see you in damnation.

Poacher, don't count on it. I'm not making plans that far ahead! Besides, if the bible said that we are all made in the image of god, doesn't that logic make us all "god" like? With this logic, a Ford has 4 wheels. This makes a Ford, Porsche like, but it's not a Porsche! It's the little things that would matter, like the handling, acceleration and oh yeah, who makes it that makes a car Porsche like! =) Have fun. Catch you later...
