Your Favorite Beatles Song?

It's like picking your favorite child, go!!!

Helter Skelter.

"Why Don't We Do It In The Road?"

yup

...or, lemme see.... Revolution 9, not for its ass-backwards playability, but for the production a'la much like All Tommorows Parties, where the chorused vocals cut a measure or so before each other.

Very painful.

Hmm... "Martha My Dear."

No.

Hmm... "Sexy Sadie."

No.

Hmm... "Baby You're a Rich Man."

No.

A DAY IN THE LIFE.

I never, ever notice production, but that's a good call. You can really tell in that song. Best piano I've heard in a rock song ever.

right now, i guess it's:

i want you (she's so heavy)

but i just started listening to them again for the first time in years and i'm stuck on abbey road.

Strawberry Fields Forever , I love the sounds of the Mellotron!

rkharper is the coolest looking person I've seen in forever!

Michelle. Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble.

Best I can do is a top ten in no particular order

Cry For A Shadow
You Can't Do That
Octopus' Garden
Twist and Shout
All My Loving
Tomorrow Never Knows
And Your Bird Can Sing
I Saw Her Standing There
Anna (Go To Him)
Please Please Me
She Loves You
Please Mr. Postman
You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
This Boy
I'm Only Sleeping
Revolution (the fast one)
Flying
Anything that Ringo sings

I couldn't stop at ten.

... one... dude...

Lady Madonna.

Wait. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.

Elenor Rigby.

No... wait, Hey Jude.

No no, wait... Here Comes the Sun

...ah shit, it's all good. Don't make me choose.

the beatles r so overrated fukk 'eem!1!

Now that's out of the way, I think Eleanor Rigby would be up there. Like, really up there. But I'll go with While My Guitar Gently Weeps, just because I love to see Harrison represented.

Actually, no, wait. Happiness Is A Warm Gun. Yes. Yes. Harrison's guitar in that is fucking incredible.

Dude. Yea. I'm going to go with those three answers.

Wait, did I already post here?

i really don't like the beatles very much. its just dull arse pop music. i mean, come on, they're so over. give me the stones anyday. although, the stnes haven't done a tune worth listening to in what, 25 years minimum.

i guess if i had to choose it'd be twist and shout. which isn't even one of theirs. so the a side of that song, back in the ussr, because its a bit mental in places and it fucked a lot of people off.

though, bizarrely i have a soft spot for interesting beatles cover versions. aretha franklin's cover of eleanor rigby or let it be are stunningly beautiful.

go home productions did a mash up of crazy little thing called love over the fool on the hill, which was superb.

i think maybe what i don't like about the beatles is the fact that each and every song you know inside out and they're so ubiquitous. i like to be challenged i guess, and the beatles, by dint of their popularity and their hero-worshipped status, are one of the least challenging artist in popular culture.

it changes every other day. today however it's Two Of Us.

Oh, Darlin'

Hello, Goodbye

"A Day In The Life" is the perfect Beatles song.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
Let It Be.
Hey Jude.
I Want You So Bad.


It's kinda hard to choose between them.

i prefer the stones myself. but if i had to choose ... a day in the life.

hmmm

dagnamit..! you beat me to it..

i love "a day in the liife" definately my fav...

but seeing as you took my choice i get another go

"dear prudence" or "tomorrow never knows"
