For me, this question is quite simply impossible. At the moment, I’m really digging some tunes off the original Yellow Submarine , like It’s All To Much, All Together Now , even Pepperland . I’ve always loved Only A Nothern Song, maybe it’s in my top 30 (which is saying something). Right now, if I HAD to pick a favorite song, it might be Rocky Raccon, as I just bought the remastered version of the White Album , and some young kids I help out with really enjoy this song, and we can all have fun together with it. Some other songs that we dance along to are All Together Now , Octopus’ Garden, Yellow Submarine , by the way, I picked the songs. 🙂

When I Twish And Shout, it makes the Girl say "What Goes On?", and than I say, "I do this Here, There and Everywhere", and than she finishes by saying "Honey Don't".

Octopus’s Garden or Here Comes The Sun , too hard to pick between them, but I could go on and on.

I'd like to be, under the sea, in an octopus's garden, with you.

4. Do You Want To Know A Secret

5. I Saw Her Standing There

6. I'm Happy Just To Dance With You

3 of those songs were post-beatles, but whatever.

Hi, this is my first post. When I think of favorites, they're usually George songs, but they will change depending on the mood, but for now I'll go with “If I Needed Someone .” I can see where the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield got their “signature sound,” by copying the Beatles.

The Byrds? Yes. Buffalo Springfield? No way, bub. Springfield was a great (shortlived) band, famous for giving half of CSNY.

They didn't copy the Beatles, listen to Mr. Soul which sounds more like Satisfaction then If I Needed Someone .

It's funny how both those top 10s have songs that wouldn't even be in my top 100. Not that there's a right or wrong to any of this – it's great that The Beatles appealed in so many different ways.

I'll have to think about my top 10 now. Very much off the top of my head, here's a list.

  1. A Day In The Life
  2. Strawberry Fields Forever
  3. Something
  4. I Am The Walrus
  5. If I Fell
  6. I Feel Fine
  7. Rain
  8. This Boy
  9. Happiness Is A Warm Gun
  10. Here, There And Everywhere

…which isn't to say I don't love Revolution or Sexy Sadie or I'm Only Sleeping or Tomorrow Never Knows or Come Together or Twist And Shout or And Your Bird Can Sing or I Should Have Known Better or dozens of others. I do – they've been with me for so long it's hard to choose between them.

For anyone who needs some inspiration, here's my list of songs they've commercially released (plus a few others).

I totally agree with you on all those songs, They're all really good!!!! a-hard-days-night-ringo-15You have good choices in Songs!!!!!

Thanks to iTunes, I don’t really have to think about this one (because it would hurt my brain for sure..  so many songs!).  According to my iTunes, the most plays are first “Baby’s In Black ” followed by (only one less play) “She came in though the Bathroom window”.  Sounds right to me!  a-hard-days-night-paul-8

"Please don't bring your banjo back, I know where it's been..  I wasn't hardly gone a day, when it became the scene..  Banjos!  Banjos!  All the time, I can't forget that tune..  and if I ever see another banjo, I'm going out and buy a big balloon!"

I made a list one day, when I was bored. I discareded the list, but I remember my favorite being It’s All Too Much . Love the length and guitar chords.

And if you saw my love, I'll love her to.

Lol, why not?

 

I don’t have a favorite Beatles song, that’s too hard. It’s something between Yesterday , Hey Jude , Let It Be , Got To Get You Into My Life , Happiness Is A Warm Gun , Something , Here Comes The Sun , For No One , Here, There, and Everywhere, She’s Leaving Home , Yellow Submarine , Things We Said Today , Penny Lane , and Strawberry Fields Forever , though it really might not even be any of those.a-hard-days-night-paul-10

It’s usually a fight between Tomorrow Never Knows , Rain , Strawberry Fields, I Am The Walrus , and Hey Bulldog (bit of a Lennon man!). Most listened to the past couple of months though has been Revolution [take 20]. Still struggling to get my head around that one. Amazes me it’s still in the vault (or on YouTube).

To pick one song is really difficult, but if you put a gun to my head I would say……
