My mom's name is Joan so I liked hearing it as a teen.Hot take? I love Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Wait...that may come off bad. While my mother and I certainly shared some growing pains as I went through my turbulent teens, I NEVER wanted harm to come to her - by hammer or otherwise.

Just kidding. Like what you like. If it's on I won't skip over it but the "bang bang" part makes me want to leave the room.

I think the people who dislike it just wonāt shut up about itI though it was one of the most hated Beatles songs(at least in this forum
Me, the one I canāt stand is The Long And Winding Road. Dreadful.

I believe John would refer to songs like these as āPaulās granny musicā and I canāt think of a better description.

Yeah thatās one of Paulās most saccharine tunes and Phil Spectorās ridiculous orchestral and choral over dubs make it worse again.
Itās not that damn silver hammer song though, my favourite thing about it is hearing any interview with one of the other three about it, they hate it even more than any of us ever couldā¦

Yeah it is absolutely the strings that kills it, but even without them, itās just a boring song.

Also a good guess on the vinyl color name.
Perhaps, but if they do an exclusive (which I doubt) it will just be a color variant, which is basically a small add-on to the main pressing run, so should not cost all that much in license fees. And VMP would press as many as they can, and it would sell out in seconds.

wasn't the target/BN/etc exclusives just a t-shirt or a tote bag added to the regular black release?

RE: Yellow Submarine, All Together Now, etc. Paul wrote several sing-along songs for kids. Don't lie, when you were a kid those were your favorite Beatles songs! Target audience is key.

Makes the Star Wars analogy even more apt. Paul is George Lucas.

Slightly annoying new clue drop (i.e. it's basically last-week's Dischord tease). Anybody on the Dischord know if there was a new clue offered over there today?

I think they're trying to keep the Beatles hype alive.

Beatles, Dylan, Byrds and Buffalo Springfield all seem like huge gets for VMP. Wonder if it might be Beau Brummels '66? (which is not a great album)

I have a question since there was no real new clue what does rock in quotation marks mean in the first clue? Are the Beatles something other than rock? I kind of get that big Bruno Springsteen is doing a more stripped down folk type record but is filed under rock, is Revolver something out of the ordinary?? Also if it's Check Your Head that's not exactly straight ahead Hip Hop and yet they call that Hip Hop not "Hip Hop".. They really needed to hit us with a real new clue!!
It could be Dylan and "folk rock".
Wikipedia has it as:
Genre: Folk rock; blues rock; country rock; rock and roll;
