The Owl Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Welcome to the first of my weekly polls in which I will be taking 1 album and comparing it's different sides... and the poll you will choose what side is better? I am going to try to use albums that have vinyl releases (and by nature "sides") on these polls, but If I want to do an album that was never an album with a vinyl release I will try to separate the album as best I can into sides... But here we go... Poll for week 1... What is the best side of The Beatles classic album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" Side One 1. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" 2. "With a Little Help from My Friends" 3. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" 4. "Getting Better" 5. "Fixing a Hole" 6. "She's Leaving Home" 7. "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" Side Two 1. "Within You Without You" 2. "When I'm Sixty-Four" 3. "Lovely Rita" 4. "Good Morning Good Morning" 5. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" 6. "A Day in the Life" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Side 2 just because it includes A Day In The Life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 This is hard..... very hard.... But I'm gonna go hard with Side 2... This whole album is classic, but Side 2 has "A Day in The Life" which is not only IMO the Best Beatles song of all time, but one of the All time Best songs of all time... And I do like the SPLHCB (reprise) better than the first part actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 If 'Within You Without You' was on Side 1, it would totally be the best side to any album ever made. Regardless, I am going for Side 1 here. Side 2 just...lacks something to me. Perhaps because it has only two really great songs and the rest are just OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though side 2 has two of my all-time favorite Beatles songs, side 1 is more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinwoodsman Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I had to say side 1 ... Lovely Rita gives me wood, i fix things for a living and I am getting closer to 64 I like both sides, but side 1 gets the nod, thanks G! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Lang Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I haven't given a great deal of thought before but side one of Pepper could very well be their best album side period. One of my 2 or 3 favorites anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 A Day in the Life is the best Beatles song and one of the best songs ever, but Side 1 is better overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tel Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 2 for me,but not one skip on the whole album....classic right here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Side 1. Although side 2 contains 3 of my favourite tunes, Getting Better, Lovely Rita and A Day In The Life, it also contains George's risible cod-Indian wankfest, which totally disrupts the album's flow. And When I'm Sixty-Four is just infantile bollocks. And I'm normally in the Macca camp. Side 1 is just about perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 While the masterpiece is on side 2 (day in the life), getting better and the brilliant, underrated shes leaving home, as well as with a little help, make it SIDE 1 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I remember reading somewhere that George Martin thought it was a mistake to leave off "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane". Imagine that album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're joking, right? I honestly think it was a great addition to the album. George's Indian influenced music is some of his best work if you ask me. Disrupting the album's flow...perhaps, but it's slight to my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason why none of the other Beatles play on it. It's shite. Too much dope methinks and not enough quality control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
