It's hard to choose, there's just so many great songs. Maybe it depends on what you're in the mood in.

Right now, it's "In My Life".

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rocky Raccoon.

I can't hear it without smiling.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It’s such a fun little song.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

While my guitar gently weeps. I don't know why but I just love that one.

My wife says “Blackbird” and she is right ❤️

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Something. Followed by Michelle.

Tomorrow Never Knows

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

And your bird can sing! Specifically the recording from Anthology 2 where you can hear John and Paul laughing

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Eleanor Rigby, by far. Very different, and one I have always enjoyed since I was a kid

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Have you heard Zoot’s cover? It’s very different again but I love it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Ooof. This is like asking me to pick my favorite child! Probably something off of Rubber Soul.

Paperback writer!

I'm between Don't let me down and Eight days a week.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Usually Come Together. It's awesome.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Her Majesty

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Pretty hard to choose, TBH. I'll go with 3:

  1. A Day in the Life
  2. Here Comes the Sun
  3. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Those would probably be my top 3 normally.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

A Day in the Life. It was the first song I played for my son after he was born.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I never really listened to the Beatles that much, but for some reason Strawberry Fields Forever really resonates with me.

It almost feels like a perfect song to me, not sure why.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Eight Days a Week. Generally not a huge fan of the Beatles but that's a banger.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I Saw Her Standing There

It's certainly not one of their many compositional masterpieces, but I really love this song because of how quintessential it is of that very early British pop invasion style with the catchy twangy guitar melody.

Things We Said Today

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Sometimes it's I've Got a Feeling, other times it's Happiness Is a Warm Gun. The medley from Abbey Road as a whole is up there too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The Long and Winding Road. Not sure which version though, I love the strings on the original record, but also really like the cleanness of the restored naked version

  • A Day In The Life - epic, creative and original
  • Hey Jude - such heartfelt brotherly love
  • Tomorrow Never Knows - exotic, strange and otherworldly
  • Norwegian Wood - a small slice of life from a drifter with a great sense of humor
  • I'll Follow The Sun - so sweet and sad, sang it to lullaby my babies
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Helter Skelter

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Side B of Abbey Road

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The mono mix of Rain.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Tie between While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Hey Jude...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
  1. Golden Slumbers
  2. A Day in the Life
  3. The End
  4. Gotta Get You Into My Life
  5. And Your Bird Can Sing
  6. Baby You're A Rich Man
  7. Hide Your Love Away
  8. Dear Prudence
  9. Something
  10. Cry Baby Cry
  11. Rocky Raccoon
  12. I Want You
  13. I've Got a Feeling
  14. Octopus's Garden
  15. In My Life
  16. Across the Universe

That's 15 and I could name another 15! So many options!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hard to say. "A Day in the Life," probably. The opposite question is easier for me to answer, with "Tomorrow Never Knows" being my least favorite.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's tough, but the song that keeps popping into my head is I've Got a Feeling.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Here, there and everywhere is incredibly underrated in my opinion. And since I haven't seen them mentioned, Revolution and Think for Yourself are both great.
