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.

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.

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

"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.
