I can be a Beatles contrarian, because I am insufferable. But, my fav album is Rubber Soul and my favorite song is Michelle. Give me Yoko and John's "Double Fantasy" as my fav Beatles related project. Or George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass". Or some Wings...I kind of like the post-Beatles projects more. Again...I'm insufferable.
I have a viscerally negative reaction whenever I hear "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". I think it is because the song is truly awful, but maybe its just too scary for me.
Ohh thank you! These are always my favourite posts too! Love being a fan girl ova here
Van Morrison is definitely my seasonal go-to. Snow in San Anselmo is my favourite for when it gets really cold. Also I’d never heard that Joan Baez song before! It’s beautiful.
I think it’s mostly that all three of these songs have acoustic guitar openings that sound just like driving a long windy mountain road surrounded by trees with changing leaves :’)
Amazing post! Great covers for you both!

i get the Talking Heads thing. I went through a big phase where I listened to the Naked album over and over. David Byrne is endlessly fascinating.
