>>122594551...That's just one person.
>>122594551The only Nilsson song I know is Coconut, but I really like that song.
I CANT LIIIIIVE
>>122594718Is it bad I prefer the Badfinger version?
>>122594744you do you
>>122594551Looks like no one got the reference.
>>122594680I'm sure you've heard Without You. It's super well known. But the better song on that album is Jump Into the Fire.

>>122595480You know what's funny? Nilsson is just a continuation of McCartney. Along with Jeff Lynne and Billy Joel. But he's the best of them.What did John mean by this?
>>122594744Ironically the original demo was a bit closer to Nilsson’s version (minus strings) than the final released take.https://youtu.be/a_3C4nQ_mSo?si=fzOFBzlvrQJo7ls8
>>122595516He and Paul were big fans when they heard his early work.
>>122595844I know they both were, but it's a little funny that John was a big fan of a guy who resembled Paul. I expect that from Paul, but not the guy who coined the term "granny songs". He must've never meant it. He was secretly Paul's greatest fan.
>>122595860Watching Get Back you can see that John admired Paul, no question. I think what he had to say was mostly bs.
>>122594940What reference, the song is a Beatles medley?
group?
>>122595925Everything he said in 1970-71 should be taken lightly. He was supremely fucked up mentally around that time and also desperate to run as far away from the Beatles legacy as possible. His later interviews are more balanced.
>>122596878The Lennon quote.
>>122599826https://youtu.be/uDxCg1nxUko?si=BB867i7Olh44sgs5&t=16Sounds like their previous favourite group was Sophie Tucker
>>122594940I did ;^)
