Comment:

Yet another elimination, namely:
93. Mott The Hoople - Mad Shadows (1970)

With God On Our Side < Yesterday - I recently went to see Oliver Stone's W., the new biopic of the 43rd President of the United States of America, and I heard this Bob Dylan song playing over the en-ding credits. Good choice, Oliver! :-) I placed it back to back with the Beatles' Yesterday at the en-d of Disc #1, since even though both songs are very different, the lyrics of both share a feeling of confusion, bewilderment, lost innocence and yearning for some sort of clarity. (By the way, Dylan actually recorded a cover version of Yesterday around the time of the Self Portrait sessions, featuring none other than George Harrison on guitar and rather out-of-tune backing vocals. Even though you wouldn't expect such a song to be Dylan's thing, he actually turns in a very sincere and heartfelt vocal performance. But then again...those covers which did make the cut on Self Portrait are ones that many people probably didn't think was Dylan's thing, either - ha, ha, ha!)

Into The Lungs Of Hell < The Four Horsemen - "Chaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgge!!!"

New York < London Boys - One of rock's most venomous put-downs ever...and its equally venomous snappy comeback! I kind of broke one of my little rules here, the one regarding the overlap of musicians on more than one track on the same disc. (Both songs feature Steve Jones on guitar and Paul Cook on drums.) But I have a "get-out" loophole which states that you can use two songs with the same musicians if they're band members on one track, session players on the other...and even if I didn't have such a loophole, I still might have made an exception in this case! (And the fact that Cook and Jones play on London Boys, whose lyrics are at least partially directed at Johnny Rotten, is in itself very interesting. In a funny way, it kind of reminds me of the fact that George Harrison played guitar on the session for John Lennon's How Do You Sleep? - another venomous put-down song, this one directed at Paul McCartney!)
