Your number one favorite Beatles song?

Michelle.

well that's a very hard one but I think I'd go with "Strawberry Fields Forever"

Too many favorites for me to decide but I LOVE "The Ballad of John & Yoko"

Uh, why don't you post a difficult question...

If I exclude all of "Rubber Soul" (their finest album and just about the best pop album ever made), I like "The Night Before" from "Help!" The quintessential Beatles pop tune--Paul at his bounciest. Lots of others rocked more, or were more intellectually satisfying, but "Night Before" is the near-ideal.

i absolutely love a day in the life and elinore rigby.

Can't name only one.

In My Life
Yesterday
Helter Skelter
Come Together
Twist and Shout

'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' ...cause right now I want to hold her hand.

Hey Jude
Yesterday
Ticket To Ride
Let it be

Plus Many More theres to many great songs to oick one

I'm not a big Beatles fan and yet I do belive they were great song writers, John & Paul in particular. Their masterpice, "Yesterday" is well-recorded by them and when interpreted by a solo artist in a slower tempo you have a great torch song of unmesurable magnatude. The lyrics are just so powerful...

"Something" is also a great song. Lovely melody and lyrics...

Paperback Writer
Penny Lane
Help
I Want To Hold Your hand

Eight Days a Week

Eleanor Rigby

The medley from "Abbey Road," beginning with You Never Give Me Your Money and ending with The End.

Eleanor Rigby, one of the best produced songs ever

I'll be a rebel and go with my first instinct....

Goodnight.

Hey Jude or A Day in the Life

The Doc

Agreed.

A Day In the Life

Is not a song. It's a work of art

Too many of them, but if I have to name only one I'd say Yesterday

Hey Jude. I also have many fun memories with Yellow Submarine.

Go for it Pat!

Definitely Hey, Jude

i like "A hard days night"

"in my life" & "nowhere man"

all of rubber soul, really...

Well if it isn't "Cheeks" Lombardi!! Nice to see you back my friend. Hope you're doing well.

Way too many for me. Most of my favorites, although not all are their later releases, including (I'm sure I'm forgetting so many)

Day In The Life
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I Love Her
Hey Jude
Helter Skelter
Rocky Racoon
Eleanor Rigby
Norweigan Wood
Something

Like I said, I'm sure I'm missing some.

TIS

Theres so many I could choose, I was brought up on the Beatles, but for me my favourite has got to be In My Life - amazing lyrics

She's Leaving Home...includes the great line "leaving the note that she hoped would say more"

Hey Jude. I love the way it goes on forever but you can't stop singing...

Judy jude jude ju ju ju na nan na

Back in the USSR

A Day In The Life
Helter Skelter
Revolution
Taxman
I Wanna Hold Your Hand

I also cannot name just one... But here are some favorites, in no order:

Something
Eleanor Rigby
Come Together
I am the Walrus
Here Comes the Sun
While My Guitar Gently Weaps
A Day in the Life

I think an easier question would be "Favorite Beatles Album?"... Mine is arguably Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

My number one favorite would be While My Guitar Gently Weeps, but since it is my favorite by sooooooo little I feel obligated to add these:

Revolution
Come Together
Yesterday
Help!
Ticket To Ride
The Night Before
Wait
Let it Be
Penny Lane
Strawberry Fields Forever
I Wanna Hold Your Hand
I Saw Her Standing There
Eleanor Rigby
A Day in the Life
With a Little Help From my Friends
Michelle
In My Life
Norwegian Wood
She Loves You
All You Need Is Love
Sexy Sadie
Happiness Is a Warm Gun
Hey Jude

These are my *current* favorite Beatles songs.

extremely difficult question..

"yesterday" and "nowhere man"

I love Hey Jude!

There are very few I don't love, but if I have to pick a favorite it would be "a Day in the Life" simply because it was an instant piece of classical music (an lyrics), and it clearly established the Beatles as the best musical group of their age.

i was waiting for someone else to pick "nowhere man" - why am i not surprised that you're the first/only one besides me to pick it?

yessssssssssss

Bumper

A Day In The Life
Rocky Raccoon
Across The Universe
Real Love

In addition, let me add two more favorites: I'm Only Sleeping and Revolution.

Notice how John sings "Seeping not Sleeping"

Here a headline for those extremist Talk Show Hosts:

"Conservatives Like Revolution"

Yesterday

Way too many to choose from. Off the top of my head, in no particular order:

Yesterday
Hey Jude
Norweigian Wood
Eleanor Rigby
Rocky Racoon
Ob-La Di
Helter Skelter
Nowhere Man
And I Love Her
Come Together

One of my very very favorites is "Day In The Life." I know I left so many out, but that's a start.

TIS

Twist and Shout
Yesterday
Back in the USSR
Saw Her Standing There
Helter Skelter (though after Manson, it gives me chills)
Let it Be

I'll probably think of way more, but those came off the top of my head.

All the Lonely people and Yesterday

*cough*Eleanor Rigby*cough*

We just don't like people carrying 'round pictures of Chairman Mao...

Why not? Hell, he's an attractive man. I'd hit it.

My version is named different.
Accept it.

Fair enough.



No.

Isn't that like naming Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb," "Is There Anybody In There?"

While My Guitar Gently Sleeps

followed by Back in the USSR

Song? Difficult. So many to choose from.

Album? Easy.

Hi Vitelli!

I've never seen that before.

Reminds me though, I also like Maxwell's Silver Hammer. A very strange song, but kind of catchy nonetheless.

Of course, speaking strange, what about Revolution #9 #9 #9 #9 #9 #9.....I think I pretty much memorized it right away!!! Btw, that's John's voice right?????


TIS

Elenor Rigby,Yesterday,Norwegian wood.
This is such a daunting task,But since i'm going to have to chose,Norwegian wood.
The problem I have with chosing beatles songs is it turns into beatles albums,Then we're here all day.

Actually, this was the cover of a birthday card from a couple of years ago. As many people know, I save just about everything.

So where ya been, TIS? On strike? It's safe to come back now, "The Troubles" seem to be over!

But it is just so difficult to actually come up with a Beatles song I can say is truly my favorite. Perhaps because I lived through their entire active period, it becomes a case of "so many songs, so many particular memories".

But if I do decide on one special song, I'll return here and post it.

Signor V.

I'm sorry I'm lazy for not reading all of the posts up to this point, but did anyone say "Hey Jude"? That is my favorite.. then again I really like Blackbird also.

There are far too many to pick ONE favorite.

This is the first thing I thought as well... but then again if you could take the top 2 or 3 songs you would listen to, which would be the first you would listen to? For me I like Hey Jude and Blackbird as my top two... but I think I would always listen to Blackbird first, so I would have to say that is my favorite song (surpisingly even to myself).

So if you took the top "bunch" of songs and chose the first song you would actually listen to, which would it be?

Sure, a 'bunch' come to mind immediately when The Beatles are even mentioned. Some I enjoy simply for the lovely harmonies more than the song itself.

But..Far too many to pick one favorite.

Apple

My Fav Beatles song for the lyrics are..

I am the Walrus
A day in the life
Strawberry Fields
Penny Lane
Something

It's interesting how everyone's taste is different. I have that album BB, and recently purchased the CD trying to choose my favorite albums from my record collection and get them on CD.

Anyway, although I don't think Blackbird is a bad song, if I had to skip over one song on the album, that would probably be the one.

Oh another favorite of mine is "Girl" (I think that's the title).

TIS

I'm insulted!!

Okay, not really I can see why blackbird would be the song to skip, it's very different from their other songs on that album. I think the reason I like it so much is, other than liking the tune, is that it is a very intimate low production song. And if you listen carefully you can hear Lennon's foot tapping on the floor.

But I agree that it really is interesting to hear everybody's different tastes in Beatles songs. I think that goes to show how incredible that band is that they have so many songs that we all come up with different favorites!
