I’m going to rate and explain every song on the Beatles debut album. I have never listened to a Beatles album through, and also am a very casual fan. I do not know most of these songs. I will also try to guess the singers. As I am an expert on all things music, this is to be taken as law and will henceforth be the only correct rating. Let’s begin.
I saw her standing there: funky, groovy, catchy. I think this is the Beatles debut. 9/10
Guess: Paul McCartney
Misery: yeah this pretty much sums it all up. Funky love song= Paul. Immediately after you get this song. Pain and suffering=john. Sad lyrics, happy beat. Very early sixties feel. 7.5/10
Guess:John Lennon
Anna (go to him): vocals are sick on this song. Still very groovy, I like the bass lines on this. A song I would dance with someone to. Cover I believe. Another sad song, so gotta be one person.. 8/10
Guess: John Lennon.
Chains: harmonica right out the gate is a choice. Sounds like a rhythm and blues song. Keyboard I think? Pretty cool. Another cover I think. 7/10
Guess: George Harrison
Boys: bass is really sweet on this. Backing vocals are very reminiscent of the 50s. Guitar is cool. 8/10
Guess: Is this ringo?
Ask me why: love the vocals. Very much a love song. Jazzy guitar and bass here. Ringo’s percussion really shines here
8/10
Guess: John Lennon
Please please please me: self titled track. That damn harmonica again lol. loving the chorus of voices. Great self titled track. 9/10
Guess: fuck if I know. John lennon?
Love me do: boy do they love harmonica. I actually like it a lot here. Nice vocals. Starting to really like ringo. Feels like
He drums just enough on every track. 8/10
Guess: Paul McCartney
Ps I love you: cool melody. A bit too much of a sappy song for my taste. Loved how short it was. 7/10
Guess: Paul McCartney
Baby it’s you:
really nice vocals. Like this a lot. 8/10
Guess: John Lennon
Do you want to know a secret: nice opening vocals. I really like the drumming on this one. This guy has my favorite voice so far. 9/10
Guess: George Harrison? Could be John Lennon.
A taste of honey: nice vocals. Not really my thing. Drags in my opinion. 7/10
Guess: Paul McCartney
There’s a place: I love this song. Lyrics sound like a later Beatles song. Two singers? I hear one voice I recognize so I’m going with that. Other could be any of the other three.
Guess: John Lennon
Twist and shout: one of the best closing songs on an album ever in my opinion. John Lennon puts on an amazing vocal performance. 10/10
