REV 2. I'm voting for what is here, and not what ISN'T here. "It's Only Love" and "Wait" are not great Beatles songs, and I'm not that thrilled with "Girl" or "Run For You Life." "I'm Looking Through You" and "In My Life" is a powerful 1-2 punch in the middle of the program, but it's not enough to get it past the three great Macca tunes on Side 2 of REVOLVER, plus I like the other two tracks as well. In the final analysis, it's not really that close.

RUBBER SOUL (SIDE 2)
I went back to my boycott of US Revolver. Tough choice.

This one was a bit easier. Revolver side 2 wins. It doesn't have any fillers. Its Only Love and Wait border on that description and Run For You Life is not too strong for me.

Once again a tough choice as I know that listening to a REVOLVER without "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "Dr. Robert" would be a tough. (The UK REVOLVER side 2 is my all-time favorite side!) I don't really like missing "If I Needed Someone" from RUBBER SOUL, but "It's Only Love" is a much better opener than "What Goes On". (Unlike several others on here I don't consider "It's Only Love" weak-I love that guitar and John's vocal) Plus I grew up with the US RUBBER SOUL so this is not strange to me. As I've mentioned before I got the UK REVOLVER and thus had no need for the inferior US version. But song for song REVOLVER is still stronger. "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "In My Life" are candidates for "favorite" and "best" song so they kind of balance off, but "For No One" is both a "favorite" and a "best" candidate and RS has no other song in that category. I' call "I'm Looking Through You" my next favorite. I'll call "It's Only Love" vs "Good Day Sunshine" as openers a draw. Same for "Got To Get You Into My Life" and "Run For Your Life". I like "I Want To Tell You" about the same as "Girl" or "Wait". In the end I'm going with RUBBER SOUL (side 2) because it has 6 songs compared to 5 on REVOLVER and I think I would pick this album up to listen to, while I would never grab my wife's copy of the US REVOLVER. RUBBER SOUL (side 2) leads 5-2.

Five songs versus six? I have to try something new here. (No pun intended.)
REVOLVER (SIDE 2) 1. Good Day Sunshine - 2.5 2. For No One - 4 3. I Want To Tell You - 3 5. Tomorrow Never Knows - 4 13.5/4 = 3.375
RUBBER SOUL (SIDE 2) 1. It's Only Love - 3 2. Girl - 2.5 3. I'm Looking Through You - 3 4. In My Life - 4 6. Run For Your Life - 3 15.5/5 = 3.1
REVOLVER (SIDE 2) takes this one.

Could have gone either way but the Lennon songs on this side are GOOD
