Our local radio station had a "vote for your favorite Beatle song" about a month ago, where you call in and vote. They voted "Help" as their favorite with most of the early Beatle songs in the top five (I Wanna Hold Your Hand). "Day In The Life" wasn't even in the top five (or ten I don't think).
As much as I like some of their early stuff and no doubt they too had some beautiful ballads (And I Love Her, Yesterday, Michelle, etc), I much prefer their later work. Just my opinion fwiw.

That being said, and because I just heard it on the radio, I do like the Beatles' rendition of "Roll Over Beethoven" and "Long Tall Sally." Maybe not in the top Beatle songs, but good none the less.
