Favourite Beatles songs

(This is for you aaron)

Anything between revolver and the white album for me:

Im only sleeping
tomorrow never knows
dear prudence
strawberry fields forever
helter skelter

Far too difficult.
I'd end up naming too many.

Rubber Soul & Revolver are the best albums in my opinion.
I'll go for
In my Life - Lennon
Things we said today - McCartney
Here comes the Sun - Harrison

Something
Day in the Life

Twist and Shout
Saw Her Standing There
Let It Be

and

Something

Run for your Life
Octopus's Garden
You Know My Name Look up the Number

To hard to choose.

Some of me faves:

Run For Your Life
Things We Said Today
The Ballad Of John And Yoko
Dear Prudence
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
If I Needed Someone
And Your Bird Can Sing
I Saw Her Standing There
Blackbird
Something
While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I am the Walrus
Strawberry Fields Forever
Hey Bulldog
Day Tripper
It's All Too Much - kick ass Harrison guitar
Dear Prudence
She Came In Through The Bathroom Window - End Medley for the best-ever bow-out from a band and the three Beatles taking lead solos in turn.
I'll Follow the Sun
What You're Doing.
You've Got To Hide Your Love Away

And that's as condensed as I can go. I had to kick off some stunners too like Good Day Sunshine.

You Know My Name Look up the Number

And that one. The opening 30 seconds is awesome.

If I Needed Someone

And this for an example of how underrated Harrison was.

Just purchased the revolver album, love I'm only Sleeping, especially the 'World going by my window' bit.

Without doubt The Beatles are my favourite band. My favourite song by them is a classic from the Seargent Pepper's album titled Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite. Such a top song. Messrs K and H assure the public there production will be second to none.

Anything written by George.

The most talented member of the group.

Most of my favourites have already been mentioned, apart from I'M DOWN.

:S Thats the last time I do a piss takey Beatles post

So hard to narrow it down, but if I had to go for just 1, it's got to be 'Across the Universe'.

Run for Your Life is OK in a slapdash kind of way.
Maybe Revolution 9 would have been a better choice!

My favourites:
Strawberry Fields Forever
A Day in the Life
Norwegian Wood

The opening is glorius, it degenerates after that. :P

I was playing the Love CD inspired by this thread and as I browsed later posts here, Lennon sung this line:

at the exact same time I read it in the post above. Weird. Made me start. :O

Run for Yur Life is hideous, especially the lyrics that advocate murder. Someone should tell Lennon to be careful what you wish for.

I did consider Revolution #9 but I thought there would be too many avant garde types on the BCG to get away with it!

And if you play it backwards you can hear Ringo saying "no more fan mail, it's all going in the bin".
