I love Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Mind you I didn't realise it had such a sinister meaning to it. I just put it down to another one of those songs they wrote when they were wasted.

I bought 'Spies like us'. That starts off quite promising.

Yipchaa!
Has anyone hilariously listed any Oasis albums yet?
If not, pretend I did that.
If so, how hack to go for such low-hanging fruit

It's got the African guitar style that Talking Heads were influenced by around the same time, and a bit of Parliament sounding keyboards.
Very catchy and not as marmite as

What would Picard do?
Ha! i like them both!
Two years after this I got into Talking Heads and then into African guitar bands. Not a surprise there.

Worst. Beatles song. Ever.

I shot a man in Reno...
I did that.This seems as good a place as any to confess, when I was 13/14 I learned to play guitar by getting a Beatles Complete song book and learning nearly every song in it.
It's a good technique which I still recommend
The gold medal book. I was actually after Twist and Shout (first song I ever played live as a drummer) but it wasn't in the book (Beatles covered it). I was also really into speed at the time so I learned all the tracks really quickly.

I noticed the other day while enjoying some old records that Robert Johnson blatantly ripped off Paul McCartney when he used the chords from Her Majesty for his 1936 classic They're Red Hot. The cheeky bugger!

McCartney really did have a voice, didn't he? One of the best screamers this country has ever produced.

For someone who doesn't give two hoots about the beatles, that is surprisingly interesting.
I'd quite like to listen to some isolated McCartney bass parts too after listening to coming up again (on this page).

McCartney stands out as one of the greatest, most melodic and interesting bass players of the 60s. In terms of innovation - Brian Wilson apart - there's little competition.

Was going to say Bootsy Collins or Larry Graham but they'd be at the end of the decade and prolific in the following one.
Spandex
A crazy bulbous punchbag of sound
James Jamerson (Funk Brothers/Motown) - played most of the Motown basslines in the 60s. "James Jamerson became just my hero, really", McCartney once said, though he also revealed "I didn’t actually know his name until quite recently. Him and Brian Wilson were my two biggest influences."
Donald 'Duck' Dunn (Booker T & the MGs/Staxx) - played on hundreds of tunes including Respect, Dock Of The Bay, In The Midnight Hour, Knock on Wood, Green Onions, etc, etc
Bernard Odum - James Brown's bassist from 1958 to 1969, when most of Brown's band walked out on him over a pay dispute.

his lead guitar work was great too. Think he does the lead on taxman?

He does. Also the solo on Good Morning, Good Morning. And on Abbey Road’s “The End”, the three guitar playing Beatles take turns to solo one after the other in cycles: McCartney, Harrison, Lennon. Repeat until end. You can really tell the different characters of their playing.

And, I'm pretty sure, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and its reprise.

james jameson - bass player in the funk brother so on loads of classic motown songs - an unsung hero of the bass guitar and a big influence on mc cartneys playing. meolidcally really interesting and orginal but totally right for the songs.
