My list of favorite Beatles songs often shifts and changes but there are a few that are constantly at the top for me…I’ll try to narrow it down to 10.
Blackbird
Across the Universe
When I’m Sixty-Four
Yesterday
Revolution No. 9
If I Fell
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Hey Jude
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away
I can’t rank them in a certain order because I can’t make up my mind, although I think the first five I’ve listed could easily be justified for being the top song.
Happiness is a Warm Gun
In My Life
A Day in the Life
Strawberry Fields
Penny Lane
The medley on Side 2 of Abbey Road
We Can Work It Out
She Said She Said
Revolution
Helter Skelter
Number 9 isn’t a song. There’s no melody. It was early ‘fuckin around the studio’ stuff.
Drive My Car
I Will
Don’t Pass Me By
I Wanna Hold Your Hand
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Martha My Dear
Revolution
Why Don’t We Do in the Road
Eleanor Rigby
Get Back

[quote=“wolf_reinhold”]I can’t believe that no one has even mentioned my favorite on their list: And I love Her.

That’s all I do
And if you saw my love
You’d love her too

Black cloud 'cross my mind
Blue mist round my soul

'cause I
Yeaheaheah wanna die

Girl you know the reason why
Speaking of the beatles, anyone heard Let it Be “Naked” yet? If so, is it better than the original? The Spector arrangements are really starting to bother me …
A Day in the Life
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I Saw Her Standing There
A Hard Day’s Night
Help
Something
Here Comes the Sun
Across the Universe
Hey Jude
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Hey - three of them were written by George Harrison.

No I didn’t. And my bad. I meant Revolution. Not #9. Since I said a top ten, here’s my other top 10 (meaning songs 11-20 if I could have included them with the original 10):
Honey Pie
In My Life (song of my high school graduating class and still brings tears to my eyes even though I wasn’t really fond of high school)
You Never Give Me Your Money-Sun King-Mean Mr. Mustard-Polythene Pam-She Came in Through the Bathroom Window-Golden Slumbers-Carry That Weight-The End
Girl (you can feel the longing with the sigh)
The Long and Winding Road
Because
Two of Us
Michelle
Paperback Writer
Something (what a moving piece and I love the bass line)
It’s obvious that I’m a fan of their later albums more than their earlier stuff. The first CD I ever bought, even before my family had a CD player was Abbey Road ($13 at a swap meet). I had some pictures of me crossing Abbey Road in London but some douchebag stole my backpack which had that camera in it so now I don’t. :fume:
I wonder who my favourite beatle was…
Don’t let me down
I’m only sleeping
I Want You (She’s So Heavy)
Tomorrow Never Knows
Something
Come Together
She Said, She Said
In My Life
The Ballad of John and Yoko
Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except…
One song from my favourite album the white album!
Regarding Let it be naked read this review. It’s spot on. As a Beatles fan I’d definately buy it. But for me many of the live studio bootlegs sound better. (which you can find on Kazaa) allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=am … 5k8qnzbtq4
