Just checking in to say that my team got 3rd place (out of 31 teams) at bar trivia tonight. I got the name of Harry Styles's debut album correct.

Spoiler

It's Harry Styles.

I always forget we have a big Level 42 fan here on the forum.

WRONG.

The song was much admired by American composer and orchestral conductor Leonard Bernstein.[7] When presenting the CBS News documentary Inside Pop: The Rock Revolution in April 1967, Bernstein praised "Good Day Sunshine" for its rhythmic surprises and key changes, citing these as examples of why the Beatles' music was superior to most of their contemporaries' work.

Probably my favorite Macca track on there. Also shows how unoriginal George was by coming up with a song called "Here Comes The Sun" 3 years later.

And Taxman isn't even the weakest Harrison song on Revolver, it's I Want to Tell You.

Sounds as great today as the day it came out. One of the best Australian albums ever.

Eleanor Rigby
And Your Bird Can Sing
Here, There and Everywhere
Taxman
I'm Only Sleeping
Doctor Robert
Yellow Submarine

In Ghost Colours is a masterpiece.

Indeed it is.

They never were able to replicate that level of awesomeness afterwards though. Decent albums but certainly nothing on that level.

 

[iron yuppie]

Two shows I watched this year with absolutely fantastic soundtracks are Yellowjackets and Atlanta.

 

[lazarus]

I also watched those shows. Anyone else?

Feel free to list two different shows.

 

[Hewson]

I did not watch those shows.

 

[lazarus]

We’re in the home stretch here, people!

 

[iron yuppie]

Best theme song I heard this year was White Lotus.
