November 30:
1963: With The Beatles became the first million selling album in the UK.
1969: David Bowie, The Graham Bond Organization and Dusty Springfield performed at a fund raising show in London for youth magazine Rave .
1972: Wings released "Hi, Hi, Hi," which was banned from the BBC because of its "unsuitable lyrics." However, the song was a hit, making #5 in the U.K. and #10 in the U.S. in early 1973.

yes but eleanor rigby is on revolver....
That's a good one too, but not really one of my favorites...
Another excellent song, IMO, also from Revolver, that I don't think has been mentioned yet is "For No One". A very lovely tune, beautiful lyrics and vocals by Paul, with a nice french horn solo by Alan Civil. I always found this one quite sad and touching.
"Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you
She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead
You think she needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him
Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head
You won't forget her
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years"
As others have said though, they had lots of great songs so its very difficult to choose only a few, let alone one.

Yeah "Hey Bulldog" is underrated...great tune.
'Here,There, and Everywhere.' It's just such a beautiful song.I love this song, very sweet and delicate, its one of my favorites from Revolver. Good choice.

People, regardless of religion, have the right to celebrate whatever they want.
My family and I don't really celebrate the more pagan or commercial aspects of Christmas. We don't have a tree or decorate or anything like that, but we do get together (as we do often regardless of the time of year) to pray, read from the Bible, give gifts to each other and, most importantly, to celebrate God and Jesus, His birth and works, in the spirit of love, peace and giving.

I'd have to say "In My Life". The music is just beautiful and I especially enjoy the harpsichord-like solo. Both the vocals and the lyrics are wonderfully bittersweet...
"There are places I'll remember all my life
Though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these mem'ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I'll love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I'll love you more
In my life I'll love you more"
... overall an amazing song.

"New Slang" was released in 2001 as a single and is also on their album Oh, Inverted World. Sort of a folk song with a lovely melody and a couple of nice guitar breaks.

I enjoyed this one a lot, great job PF.
These are some of my favorite lines: Somedays I wander the streets and feel the cold wind,pushing me back and I know I have to keep pressing on
Under my breath I mutter a word that I kept to myself,
now nobody can say if they are feeling the same as I do

Birthdays:
1942: Norman Greenbaum
1946: Duane Allman

1973: Keith Moon collapses twice during the first date of the Who's U.S. tour, in San Francisco. First, he falls over his set during "Won't Get Fooled Again." Then after being tended to backstage, Moon plays for another ten minutes before he's carried off again. So, Pete Townsend asks for a volunteer from the crowd to replace him and a 19 year old came up and finished the show. The kid was Scott Halpin, who took a shot of brandy and sat down at his idol Moon's drum kit. Townsend counted off and Halpin began drumming.
1991: The Rolling Stones sign a $45 million deal with Virgin, making them rock's highest paid group (the record has since been beaten).

I like the way it gradually builds from the simple acoustic melody to that awesome solo and I also really like Plant's vocals. I just think it's a unique, powerful song, though not my favorite Zeppelin tune.
I'm 16 so I haven't heard it as often as a lot of people, but I understand how hearing it over and over kind of wrecked it for some.
Mr Brightside - The Killers
in Questions and Answers
Posted
Hi, I've searched on Google, but all I've come up with so far is "Mr Brightside" by the Killers. Your sure its not them?
"I'm coming out of my cage
And I?ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she?s touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go
I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go
I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside
I never...
I never...
I never..."
But you said it wasn't, so I'll keep looking...
