Coronado is perfect. The sax and those guitars just kills.

I'm really liking this record. It remains to be seen if it's up there with Microcastle and Halcyon Digest, but it's definitely one of my favorites of the year.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer (oh wait, that's on this list)
Bungalow Bill (that's here too)
Mr. Moonlight (insufferable)
Honey Pie (sometimes it's sweet, more times it's skipped)
Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite (yeah, it sounds cool, but it's also a chore to get through)
The Long and Winding Road (this one was meant for Paul…

Just all the Beatles songs that begin with the letter I are better than almost every greatest hits record ever made:

Michelle is M, and every other song the Beatles ever did that begins with M is better than Maxwell's Silver Hammer, the most skippable song on Abbey Road.

Worse than Let It Be?

Most skippable song on Abbey Road. I'd even go for Mean Mr. Mustard.

Love You To is pushing it, but it still feels right where it is.

Damn, how could I forget "Strawberry Fields"? "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" is the biggest misfire on this list.

Nice list. All great songs. I wouldn't take off "For No One," "Hey Jude," or "A Day in the Life" though.

Also, R is clearly "Rain." I don't think I've ever skipped that song on Past Masters. Rocky Raccoon, however, is not a must play.

"She Came in Through the Bedroom Window" is not as good as "She Loves You." I'd argue that "Something" isn't either, but it's not a bad pick.

My favorite is Tusk, with the dog biting someone's (Lindsey Buckingham's?) foot. Pretty well captures the frenetic sense of that album.

Magical Mystery Tour may be one of the best compilations ever, but the album cover featuring the Beatles dressed up in animal suits from a five-year old's birthday party nightmare is just awful.

Metal Detektor and Advance Cassette elevate SoS over Telephono, although Don't Buy the Realistic and Not Turning Off is a good 1-2 punch.

Agreed. The new record literally "kicks" immediately with Jim Eno's smashing drum beat. By contrast, "Before Destruction" is far more unassuming.

The more I listen to the new record, the more I think it deserves the solid A. Rent I Pay, Inside Out, Do You, They Want My Soul, and Let Me Be Mine are all up there with Spoon's classics. Can't get enough of this album.

I'm pretty much on board with this. My take:

The video is terrible, but this song has no place on this list.

"Semi-Charmed Life" has a great riff, and the "do-do-dos" are catchy as well, and the chorus is fine. The rest of the song is just putrid. Basically, the more Stephen Jenkins says, the worse things get, and he talks, and talks, and talks on this one.
