14 – Yellow Submarine – it just does not fit with the rest, annoying halfway, and is too simplistic (for this album); if it were replaced by Rain or Paperback Writer, Revolver would be a just about perfect album with not one glaring error like this
13 – Doctor Robert – not bad, just a lazy throwaway for this album
12 – Love You To – great and very soothing Indian rhythms, but it feels slightly out of place compared with the others
11 – For No One – unquestionably melodically/lyrically involving and moving, but ultimately I could take it or leave it
10 – She Said, She Said – for an acid song, it is wonderful, but after a few listens it loses its novelty, because it drones a little much
9 – Got to Get You Into My Life – the last of these I can nitpick a bit--the horns are a bit overwhelming points, but still a fine song
8 – Good Day Sunshine – cheerful and in good spirits…nothing much more
7 – I Want to Tell You – much like #8 in tone, except the lyrics are slightly more thoughtful, because it's Harrison
6 – Tomorrow Never Knows – this can only go at the end; in its experimentation it is a triumph, and surprisingly modern-sounding, but as a pure song it has to pull itself together. I know this was not the intention, but still…
5 – And Your Bird Can Sing – what a great rocker, and with such clever metaphors in the lyrics; awesome guitar riffs and collaborative vocals near the end
4 – Taxman – just great in the same way as #4, except McCartney's grinding bass surf puts it over the edge
3 – Eleanor Rigby – as a beautiful romantic COMPOSITION (not just a song), it definitely stands out. Lyrics are spellbinding and the violins evoke a clear mood.
2 – I'm Only Sleeping – flawlessly strung together, and again puts us in a direct state of mind, conveys it properly with its composition. I also appreciate the anticlimactic angle it approaches.
1 – Here, There and Everywhere -McCartney's glorious and faint singing and the finessed strings make it a masterpiece

My favorite song on this album is Taxman. Not only does it show George blossoming as a songwriter, but maturing as a person. It's too bad he couldn't come up with a guitar solo, but 1966 was, in my opinion, the peak of Paul's songwriting.

I still don't believe that George could not come up with a solo for his own song. I don't care what Emerick said in his book. He never liked George anyway. I think he asked Paul to do the solo because he was not egotistical and wanted him to play the solo in his song. George has said that he asked Paul to play the solo and that he did an Indian bit for him which he thought was very nice.

I agree with that , I think he was more than capable – he just didn´t want to. I don´t believe it was like George to be flashy or anything similar (not that doing a solo is, but still).

This is kind of hard since Revolver might be my favourite album.
Hmm I guess my favourites are Here, There and Everywhere, Eleanor Rigby, And Your Bird Can Sing and Tomorrow Never Knows.
I really like She said she said and Got to get you into my life too, but they can get a bit annoying at times.
For the rest I like them all pretty much equally. There's no song on this album I dislike.

She Said She Said has very interesting riff for that period, and of course the feeling of song is very psychedelic.
As for favorites, not sure if I answered on this topic but it has to be Tomorrow Never Knows. Then Eleanor Rigby/I'm Only Sleeping etc…

Grrr… I just wrote my whole list and then the internet crashed… So I'll just name my favorite song.
Here it is:
Drumroll please:
Taxman!
It's George's first really good song (not that his others weren't good), plus it's sort of funny yet it conveys a message.

An album where every track is a masterpiece (including Yellow Submarine which is getting much derided here). Tomorrow Never Knows has to be the one though. Experimentation and the use of the studio as just another instrument at its highest, and the first song they recorded for the album! They didn't build-up to it, but instead had to create an album that lived up to it.

Eleanor Rigby. It's made even more awesome in the Yellow Submarine movie. It's kind of weird, but it's cool.

My favourite song on the Revolver…I can't say either, it's one of the very best albums ever released. My two cents, Yellow Submarine is probably the weakest on the album. Revolver is in a different league than Rubber Soul in my opinion.
"When I was a robber *Piano Chord* in Boston Place"
"Let's hope this turns out pretty darn good huh"
"Pete may be the best, but Ringo is the star"
Paul:"Don't be nervous John"
John:"I 'm not"

I found it weird while making the list that almost half of the songs that I numbered are the actual numbers they were given on the track listing on the album :/

I usually can't pick a favourite song from an album, but this one is easy: Tomorrow Never Knows 
(followed closely by Eleanor Rigby. But I would put Love You To in my top 3 as well.)

My favourite is "For No One" (possibly my favourite out of all the Beatles' songs, too). I just can't stop listening to it. It's such a good song.

This album is just too good and strong to pick one song. For No One holds a special place in my heart, not only because I could relate to it 10)% many years ago, but I wrote a musical and lyrical analysis of it as an essay when I was applying to music programs at my university (which I got into but decided not to pursue).
