Just for Fun--What is your favorite Beatles song of all time?

[Westerly Wood]

I know this will be harder than it sounds...I will go first:

Really it is 5 songs in one, the end of Abbey Road. The medley. you know what I mean...

 

[walrus]

Oh, that's a good answer, you get 5 songs!

Seriously, I have trouble naming my favorite Beatles album never mind a single song. I'll say "Nowhere Man" with the caveat that I really have no idea...

walrus

yes walrus, i am asking way too much. it is too hard...that is another amazing statement about the Beatles. just incredible.

 

[Brucebubs]

There's too many but I'll go for 'A Day In The Life'
Those opening chords , Paul's walking bass line, off-beat lyrics, middle section by Paul and that final crescendo ending to an incredible album.

 

[GardMan]

Don't know that I could name one favorite song (I've just seen a face and Ticket to ride would be contenders, as would probably a dozen others), but Rubber Soul was my favorite album...

 

[wileypickett]

Revolution #9.

+1 for Rubber Soul. It was such a departure from their previous work - a brave break from their past and hints of things to come.

"If I Needed Someone"

 

[dreadnut]

Boy, that's a tough one!

I'd have to say the Abbey Road Medley. from side 2: Quite possibly the best side of an album ever.

 

[Cougar]

Definitely a very tough question. So much great material. I'm going to go with Back in the USSR.

 

[crank]

I Dig a Pony

[HeyMikey]

Yep, without a doubt.

 

[Taylor Martin Guild]

Let It Be is my number 1 Beatles song, At least today.
Yesterday may be my favorite one tomorrow.

 

[silverfox103]

And Your Bird Can Sing would have to be my favorite. Love the guitar work.

Tom

 

[Zelja]

Impossible question. Throwing out a random answer - Tomorrow Never Knows

 

[Stuball48]

Ticket to Ride
And will say the chord changes in Beatles songs are not your basic or first learned guitar chord progressions--at least what I first learned

 

[GGJaguar]

Gee, pretty much anything from Rubber Soul or Revolver. But if I had to chose one - And Your Bird Can Sing. I read that the Fab Four considered it a "throw away" song that simply used as filler on the album. Throw away song indeed, ha!!

 

[Antney]

Strawberry Fields would be my number 1.

If I could pick 4 more:

Across the Universe
It’s All too Much
Revolution
Day in the Life
Back in the USSR

 

[Grassdog]

While My Guitar Gently Weeps. One of George's finest. The song has amazing power and sadness. Imagine being in a band with the two greatest songwriters of the 20th century and having to write something good enough to make it on an album.

"Get Back" is one that I personally love.
