Ugh. Well, with a lot of songs, at times I like them, at times I don't. 

I salute the lady who screamed "I love you Paul!" at a tribute band's concert.

Listening to Help ! this morning,

 

best: Help !/You've Got to Hide Your Love away / Ticket To Ride

worst: Act Naturally

 

Yesterday should've been further up in the playlist…were they thinking it wasn't such a strong song?

I don't really like “Yesterday ” due to the fact that it's so overrated. It's good, but not that good. They were embarrassed of it at first, but it's like people CONVINCED Paul to like it. The melody can get obnoxious. I like it, but not all that much.

I feel the same way. It’s become very overplayed and I don’t like that it’s one of their songs that everybody who doesn’t really listen to them associates with them. It is a good song and it’s well-written, but I don’t consider it a good snapshot of what they’re capable of.

I do like Yesterday , although I consider it as a Paul McCartney song rather than a Beatles song.

PPM : Favourite: Anna (Go To Him). Least Favourite:  A Taste Of Honey .

WTB: Favourite: It Wont Be Long. Least Favourite: Hold Me Tight .

AHDN : Favourite: I Should Have Known Better. Least Favourite: Im Happy Just to Dance (With You).

BFS: Favourite: No Reply . Least Favourite: Mr Moonlight .

Help !: Favourites:  I Need You /Its Only Love. Least Favourite: [Ermmm…] Act Naturally .

Rubber Soul : Favourites: You Wont See Me. Least Favourite: Nowhere Man .

Revolver : Favourite: And Your Bird Can Sing . Least Favourite: [If forced to the point of having a gun to my head and the trigger being pressed] Yellow Submarine .

SPLHCB : Favourite: Lucy/Mr Kite/ADITL. Least Favourite: Pepper/With A Little Help .

MMT: Favourite: (from the ep) I Am The Walrus (from the album) Strawberry Fields. Least Favourite: Blue Jay Way .

TB (aka TWA): Favourite: [How do you opt for one, two or three out of say 12] Erm… Happiness/Long Long Long. Least Favourite: Goodnight (Revolution is not your normal song and therefore i dont treat it as one, and even if i did it would probably still be Goodnight).

AR: Favourite: I Want You (She's So Heavy). Least Favourite: Oh! Darling .

LIB : Favourite: Two Of Us . Least Favourite: Across The Universe .

PM Volume/Disc 1: Favourite: From Me To You . Least Favourite: The German tracks.

PM Volume/Disc 2: Favourite: Old Brown Shoe . Least Favourite: Across The Universe .

 

Across The Universe is a beautiful song just not the 2 original mixes. On Let It Be its far too slow and boring, on Past Masters way too fast.

 

On the Hamburg bootlegs you can hear Paul, when introducing A Taste Of Honey , say, “a song john's going to hate” followed by George's “no!, he'll love it”.

I’m looking at this list again, and I have to admit I have changed my mind on quite a few of these songs. It’s just amazing how good the Beatles are. One day, you really like this song by them, then the next day, you find another song that you like better.

I think the number 1's are his favorites. Though I'll never understand someone like Dizzy Miss Lizzy over I've Just Seen a Face. Different strokes! That's the lovely thing about The Beatles…so much variety that almost no one has the same favorites list.

No, you misunderstand, the number 1 means that is the best song (in my opinion) on each album, and the higher number represent the last number of tracks where I rank the song I like at least on each album. My favorite Beatles song however is “I Saw Her Standing There “.

JohnDylan, funny I don't care for Only A Northern Song for the opposite reasons: the lyrics are actually OK, since they represent a dig at Northern Songs, the music publisher with whom they were having business “disagreements” (“it doesn't matter what a write… because it's Only A Northern Song …”). I just don't think it's a strong song – part of the throwaways given to the Yellow Submarine producer before leaving for India.

She just doesn't like that song. It's as simple as that. Some people have different opinions than yourself.
