My favorite Beatles song

Mines Octopus' Garden. The beatles are so awesome, i just wish their songs were longer...

[Sgt. Pepper]

Reefer Rogue, Ringo would love you. Forget McCartney, forget Lennon, forget Harrison, but the drummer's second composition ever is your favorite song! I love it! I'm not hating or anything, because Octopus' Garden is a good tune.

My favorite song (ever) is Let it Be, but that's because I have a dear emotional attachment with the song. But I don't think it's their best song, which is harder to determine, because Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison had such varied styles. The Beatles would do an amazing song in one style, and then turn around and do another amazing song in a completely different style.

My vote for BEST Beatles song? hmmm........

Absolutely impossible to pick just one, but I'm going to say "Strawberry Fields Forever".

[Antonio Montana]

Ladies and Gentlemen, since I hail from Liverpool, birth place to the Beatles I think I can safely say that 'In My Life' is by far the best Beatles song ever made. Even John said so.

[DazedandConfused]

Let it be is probably my favorite song by them, and I also like Here Comes the Sun a lot. My mom had to sing Eleanor Rigby for this chior thing a long time ago.

[Coloonel Forbin]

"Sun King" amazing song, so peaceful

[CocaCola]

Taxman or Come Together

that's a good one! mine would have to be maxwell's silver hammer.

"Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head.
Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead."

I can't believe no one's mentioned A Day in the Life, IMHO their best song ever, bar none.

[butters]

dont like the beatles

[beachguy in thongs]

I can't believe no one's mentioned A Day in the Life, IMHO their best song ever, bar none.

Of course...it's a classic.

I think someone said, "In the Life", I think.

But, it's kind of two songs in one, in a way. Eleanor Rigby is sad and beautiful, all the way through.

[Sgt. Pepper]

In Rolling Stone's "Greatest Songs of All Time", the highest rated Beatles song was "Hey Jude" at #4, following Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" at #1, Stones' "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" at #2, and Lennon's "Imagine" at #3.

Does anybody agree that "Hey Jude" is their greatest song? I think it's easily in the top 10 or 15, but I wouldn't call it their best.

Totally agree 'In My Life' is the greatest song ever - so emotional when they played it after the Champions League final!

Strawberry Fields Forever

"In My Life" is a great song. Structured really well, with lyrics that set it apart from most crappy love songs.

"Penny Lane" -- what a meter! Every line in the verse is shorter than the previous, and it leaves you waiting for a conclusion that doesn't come, before it drops into a straight four-beat, jazzy chorus. And just when you get used to it -- mean-while back! -- you've gone right back into the verse again.

"Across the Universe" -- Lennon at his meditation-induced trippiest.

"I Feel Fine" -- the first song to feature feedback, right at the beginning. Lennon pointed out, in one of his last interviews in 1980, that this was the first pop song to use feedback. Before Townshend, before Hendrix, it was Lennon in 1964.

"Revolution" (White Album version) -- "When you talk about destruction/Don't you know that you can count me out -- in!". Shoo-be-doo-wah!

"All You Need Is Love" -- nobody said it better.

It's amazing that this group produced so many good songs in so short a period of time. Every one of their albums was great, right from their first with covers of "Anna" and "Boys," as well as "Please Please Me" (the album's title song) and "Love Me Do."

My favorite album, though, is _Beatles for Sale_, because it goes back to 1950s Carl Perkins and Buddy Holly material. "All right, George, play it one more time for Ringo!". They weren't great instrumentalists, but their harmonies are immediately recognizeable and impossible to duplicate, their lyrics were often subtle, often funny, always clever, and the music -- well, it seems like those songs were always around, doesn't it?

I mean, can you imagine a time when nobody had heard "Hey Jude"? I can't, and yet, I was eight years old when that song came out. Amazing.

I have to agree with Donnie, Strawberry Fields Forever is their best song.

I know mate, that was where i first heard it, i was there that night in Istanbul. I smoked a reefer at half time and thought shit fucked. then we all started singing "you'll never walk alone" and we pulled it off. it was the weed i tell ya! anyways r u a liverpool fan?

[Fengzi]

A few years ago I saw on VH1 where they asked like 100 different musicians( such as Tom Petty, James Hetfield, Britanny Spears, etc.) what the best rock song ever written was and In My Life was #1. Nothing fancy, it's short and simple yet manages to convey so much. I forgot who said it but they commented that it was "simply the perfect song". I think Lennon's Imagine was #2

My Favorites would be
In My Life
Elanor Rigby
Another Day in the Life
Lucy in the Sky
And I Love Her

Damn, it's too hard to go on...just too many

Well i support QPR but I always keep an eye on Liverpool and any one who appreciates football has to admit that , that game was probably the greatest ever i bet being there was amazing, i was going divvy watching it in the boozer! ! i really hope they do well in the league this season and i was gutted about them getting beaten by the Scum (chelsea), i actually got the sky sports montage with 'in my life' on my pc i v watched it about 100 times!!

[Ousted]

Let it be is probably my favorite song by them, and I also like Here Comes the Sun a lot.

Same here. My favorite Beatles songs seems to change up quite often as well, thats whats so awesome about the Beatles - Forgotten tunes can become new favorites again.

[beachguy in thongs]

It's gotta be the alternate version of "Across the Universe".

"i feel fine" or "tomorrow never knows".im convinced that tomorrow never knows is directions on how to get the most out of your high. listen to it and when they say "it"(like "it is not dying") replace it with "your brain".

i don't agree, though it's an alright song i think it's hard for me to put it up on the top fifteen. do the beatles hold the record for the most songs ever to be recorded? isn't it something like two-hundred and sixty-five? i'm not quite sure, but i know they have a shit load of songs.
i almost forgot one of my mother's favorite songs, the long and winding road. it makes her cry when she listens to it. :(

[kaela]

I like a lot of their songs. Yellow Submarine, Octupus's Garden, and Strawberry Fields are among my favorites... Also.. Fool on the Hill.. Oh so many though.

[beachguy in thongs]

Yellow Submarine

[dark0ne]

since i have picked up the guitar, the beatles have helped me along. From let it be, sargentpepper's i couldn't have just one. but the opening drum line from sgnt pepper still gets me rocken.

[Sgt. Pepper]

It has been (literally) proven that the Beatles are the perfect band to use when learning to play guitar. I certainly can attest to this. Start out with songs with only 3 or 4 chords like Let it Be, or Love Me Do and work your way up to more complicated stuff like Blackbird, Here Comes the Sun, or Helter Skelter.

The Beatles were also learning their instruments as their career progressed, so it's perfect to learn new techniques along with them.

[jimmyPops]

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
