Now and Then. They had much better songs. 6/10

2/10

Awful song, imo

it's not very good and will be forgotten soon enough.

Billboard updates the Hot 100 chart on Tuesday. I suspect it'll knock T-Swizzle off the top. I'd be really surprised if it didn't enter the chart at #1.

7/10. If John were still alive today, he'd probably say this was "rubbish!"

On the flip side, it's still better than the majority of pop music released in the past 20 years.

At the time they originally tried to work on it in the 90's, George reportedly had even harsher words for it.

I'm not surprised. I think The Beatles wrote more great songs than any other band, but this one probably wouldn't crack their Top 100.

It's too bad The Beatles never did anything with Julian Lennon back in the 80s/90s. Julian sounded so much like John (I actually like Julian's solo work more than John's). I think that was an opportunity lost there.

Awful. And it's not even classic Beatles since it was written by Lennon solo in the 70's and performed by some ersatz Beatles reunion in the 90's.

I give it 4/10. Bad song.

reply

nostalgia, i guess.

reply

Not bad. 6/10.

Against music these days? 9/10
Against the rest of the Beatles catalog? 4/10

Sounds kind of average. Paul would have had a lot to do with it and his work outside of the Beatles has also been pretty ordinary. 5/10

reply

Fine. 6/10 is fair.
