It's really hard to do, but I'll do my top 5:
5: Octopus' Garden: Ringo's best.
4: Her Majesty : If God had a theme song, this would be it.
3: Martha My Dear : Amazing instrumentation. Great piano score.
2: Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite!: Again, amazing instrumentation. Lennon's “innit” period. Really true to himself.
1: Revolution 9 : Unexplainable feeling when I hear this. So orgasmic.

This is a bit hard to do, but off the top of my head:
10. Everybodys Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey
9. Girl
7. I'm Only Sleeping
4. Sun King
1. Rain
Why Rain ?
That's right now, but it's probably the coolest song I've ever heard. The whole slowed down feeling of it, the bass line, Ringo, the backwards lyrics, just the whole feel of it.

Ummm….
Ummm…
Off the top of my head:
10. “Octopus' Garden.” It's such a joyful piece. And it's Ringo.
9. “Money (That's What I Want).” Hope I'm not breaking any rules by including a cover.
8. “Dear Prudence .” I love how it starts out with just John and his guitar, and then gradually becomes more and more complex, until the very end, when it reverts to John and his guitar.
7. “Revolution 1 .” Yes, the slow version. Sounds happier (to me) than the single.
6. “Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey.” I like how it begins one way and completely changes. Plus, the title. How can you not love a song with monkeys in the title? 😉
5. “I Want To Tell You .” It's really… vivid. I can imagine exactly what George was feeling here.
6. “Rain .” If you need me to explain, I can't. Just listen to it. If you still don't get it…
4. “A Day In The Life .” See above.
3. Abbey Road medley. Oh, what.
2. “Paperback Writer .” Bassline. A cappella beginning. Lyrics. Paul's vocal. Frere Jacques.
1. “Nowhere Man .” A cappella. Lyrics. Ah la la la.
If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind that is confusing things.

Welcome Bj.
My top 10 (in no particular order):
I Am The Walrus . It's the first one I ever heard and knew it was a Beatles song. I love the nonsense of it. Almost like organized chaos!
Hey Jude . This song is just so powerful and inspiring. Great song, despite the long ending.
Helter Skelter . It's more than a song, thanks to Charles Manson.
Within You Without You . I like the sounds of the sitar and this song carries a very important life lesson.
All You Need Is Love . My philosophy on life.
Oh! Darling . I love Paul's vocal performance on this song.
Octopus's Garden. Great guitar, great lyrics, overall greatest song from Ringo.
Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite. How songs are there like this?
Savoy Truffle . This song is brilliance.
Nowhere Man . I can connect with this song.
That's it. Once again, welcome Bj

1. Tomorrow Never Knows – This should be in EVERYONE's list! Remember folks, from “Love Me Do ” to THIS in 4 (four!) years!
2. Helter Skelter – I love how the Beatles will always be considered “pop” and “sweet” and “uncool” by many – yet on this song they rock harder than anything the Stones or Zeppelin or the Who ever did. And it's sung by Paul, who will always be considered the “sweet” one by many…
3. I've got a feeling – Great cooperation
4. Mother nature's son – Just beautiful, with the brass and Paul's guitar
5. Strawberry fields (Love version) – The end of this version must be on of the most uplifting musical experiences you can get
6. A Day In The Life – No need to say more. And that's Paul doing the “aaaahs”.
7. Martha My Dear – I'm really delighted to see this beautiful tune in so many lists!
8. Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey – This ROCKS!
9. Dear Prudence – Great intro, great bass, great drums, great vocals
10. The word – Great drums, great solo, great vocals, great message.
Damn, I forgot “I want you (She's so heavy)”. Hm, hm, ok, “A Day In The Life ” must go, since it's anybody's favourite anyway…

I recommend the version from the “Concert for George”, which is much better, imo, since all the vocals are IN TUNE there!

IWTTY is one of the VERY few examples where the harmonies on a Beatles song are out of tune. At the very least they sound really strained, especially Paul. That's why this song usually makes my Top 10 Least Favourite List and remains the only not perfect song on “Revolver “.
The live version proves it's a great composition, when sung perfectly.

I always thought that it had lovely harmonies.

paulsbass's Top Ten post:
I approve.
I found this really cool quote somewhere on the interwebs about Helter Skelter :
“Just reading those lines [of the
Townshend interview] fired my imagination. I thought, right, they’ve
done what they think was the loudest and dirtiest; we’ll do what we
think. I went into the studio and told the guys, “Look, I’ve got this
song but Pete said this and I want to do it even dirtier.” it was a
great brief moment for the engineers, for everyone -just as fuzzy and as
dirty and as loud and as filthy as you can get it is where I want to
go. I was happy to have Pete’s quote to get me there.”
— Paul McCartney on Helter Skelter and The Who’s I
Can See For Miles which Pete Townshend described as “the loudest,
nastiest, sweatiest rock number” that The Who had ever put on tape
Yep.
So anyways, here's mine:
- The whole Abbey Road medley, but mostly She Came In Through The Bathroom Window – I've just built a huge connection with these songs, and whenever I hear them together, it gives me a feeling I can't explain.
- Martha My Dear and I Will – (I'm cheating by using two) They are just so sweet! Who DOESN'T love those songs?
- Mother Nature's Son – Again. Paul is amazing.
- Long, Long, Long – Such an underrated song. In my opinion, it's even better than Here Comes The Sun .
- Like Dreamers Do – I don't know why Paul considered this one a “throw-away”. It's adorable.
- Ask Me Why – It's cute. Okay? CUTE.
- I've Just Seen A Face – See #6.
- Your Mother Should Know – Underrated, again. Great backing vocals. Everything else about it.
- This Boy – See #7.
- It's All Too Much – YEP.
Runners-up:
It's All Too Much
I tried to include more songs from a variety of albums, but the White Album is just so GOOD.
I'm in love, but I'm lazy.

It isn't out of tune, it's an experiment with dissonance. I like the way Paul shifts notes, as if trying to find the perfect “spark” with George's voice.
If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind that is confusing things.
