Favorite Beatles song

[Midnight Toker]

A friend sent me this....was slightly cheesed 2-3-4 tunes in.....but then it just kept going...and going....and going! 7-8-9 tunes in the more impressed I became. By the end I could only say, "Freakin Wow!"

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

Favorite song? I've gotta say "Hard Day's Night," just because I love the movie so much.

Favorite album? (Not that you asked.) The white one.

This is an impossible item to select and it clearly changes with mood and memories.
On the White Album "Yer Blues" is a favorite. One of my least favorite Revolution No9.
So many great songs. I could easily pick others. "While my guitar gently sleep" is always high on the list but so are many of the early love songs. I tend to have a fondness for Lennon's song's but love many McCartney and Harrison compositions also.
Difficult decision!!

In doing this I was thinking of GAD's comments of watching "Get Back" and essentially growing up after the Beatles kicked it off. I was in 3 or 4th grade and grew up with the Beatles and came of age as they went through their maturing phases. That was an experiance that I don't think can be replicated by any other band or generation. It was just one period of history where things all came together. Post WWII kids, technology expansion, turmoil in politics and civil rights and a outspoken generation coming of age.
The Beatles were part of a significant period of many of us growing up.

Agreed. You can't separate the Beatles from the '60's.

Hard pressed, I would choose the (under) Hey Bulldog. But ask me again in a hour, and I would probably have a different answer.

For me, it's one that was written ny Lennon and was never a hit but I really like the song. It's called "Julia"

 

[dreadnut]

There was a band in a bar in Olongopo City, Philippines that sounded JUST LIKE the Beatles! That was a fun place to sit and have a few San Miguels...

@spoox

I would imagine that the group created quite a stir on their 72 UK tour. The word, fanny, has quite a different meaning in the UK than it does in North America.

 

[Teleguy61]

Great track!
Such a rocking band.
Their whole show on Beat Club is excellent.
They rocked!

 

[rufus]

Yeah Fanny were a great band espec. the lead. They did a great gig on The O G whistle test some years ago.
Fav Beatles song "Girl" today but as has been said it changes like the wind.

 

[silverfox103]

Not their top tier for songs, which impossible to pick, but "B" side recordings, which makes it easier.

John---Anna (Go to him)
Paul---I Will
George---Chains
Ringo---Act Naturally

Tom

The cool thing about "I Will" is Paul played "vocal bass". i.e. he sings the bass notes vocally.
