Deadwing is a great album. That may have been the first from PT I listened to just before I saw them live.

If Maroon 5 turned up at my wedding I probably wouldn't recognise them. I've heard the hits, but don't know them otherwise.

The Beatles could make perfect little pop songs. That one is half the length of the other two, but has it all. I have a friend who plays a lot of their stuff at our sessions, but I've not done many of their songs.

Yes, I always knew the repertoire of singles but not the album tracks. A few years ago, @dismayedworld was throwing Norwegian Wood at me, unsuccessfully. She's a right fan of them.

The last four, including the Incident are all great. The other three are better but that doesn't mean the final one is bad, it's better than most of the other crap that's about.

I've heard a few people do Norweigan Wood at various sessions. It's a typical McCartney story song.

Yeah, but some lyrics from Paul. I've seen some story that John wan't keen on Maxwell's Silver Hammer and called it "more of Paul's granny music". I think there's some music hall influence there, but then bands like Genesis took it up. In the late 60s various bands were inventing what popular music could be.

The Kinks did it too with Lola. Not so different from Benny Hill's Ernie really.
