Some of these slightly goofy ratings are that if given a choice between the schmaltz of "Til There Was You" vs. "Ob La Di Ob La Di" I'll take the former. So you may see that an issue is that I'm subjectively rating the songs with the benefit of knowing what came after. It's hard for me to give I'll Be Back more stars when I think it sounds less cool than No Reply on the next album. The comparison of songs across albums is rather challenging. If I were going chronologically, everything would just get four or five stars :) And true that a lot of these early songs are pretty fluffy and inconsequential. I find I'm rating some higher just based on energy, polish, and performance. I can see where you’re coming from.

That's a 4-star song for me :-) My Beatles knowledge is getting rusty, but there's no bridge to this song right? I think the lack of a meaningful break from the verse/refrain might also chafe me a bit. There's a whole vein of Paul hit singles that I lump together: Can't Buy Me Love, Paperback Writer, to name two. For some reason I like them much less now than I did when I was younger. Still good, well crafted but for some reason they don't really emotionally resonate with me so much. But hey, it's all subjective...

My only gripes: 1) And I Love Her -- I really dislike this song, as much as I dislike Til There Was You. I love Beatles ballads, but not the slow schmaltzy stuff. I hate to say it, but I hit the skip button on the ipod or cd player when this song rears its head :-( This is 2-stars for me (blasphemy I know) 2) If I Fell -- I love this song. The harmonies are spot on. I also love the melodic range (you know this song is tough to sing). This is a 5-star for me. Maybe not the strongest 5-star, but I've got too much sentimental attachment to it to give it less. 3) I'll Be Back -- you gypped this song out of a star man! give it back dammit! John's vocal qualities at the plaintive "I want you so..." reminds me of a little bit of his gravelly delivery in Hide Your Love Away. Wow, no Ringo songs on this one eh? This is a fun exercise you are doing.
