Random shocking fact: the first time I heard In My Life I wasn't very impressed - now this has changed, of course (what was I thinking?)

I didn't either when I first heard it, but eventually my musical tastes became better and I started to like the song, and now it's one of my favorites on the album.

My favourite is probably Norwegian Wood. I won't make any list with all the songs 'cause it's too hard.

Unrelated, whenever my dad listened to Rubber Soul, when John said "Is there anybody going to listen to my story?" my dad would say "Nope" and turn the song off.

Lyrics are 100% John for sure, and that is what matters in this song, at least to me .

Hmm...this is tough, but if I had to pick one, it would be In My Life. But there are so many other good ones I can't just pick one. (Nowhere Man, Norwegian Wood, Think For Yourself, Girl).

I have to say Girl is one of my favourites on this album. I also always enjoy the word especially when it goes 'so fine, sunshine' that always makes me really happy with the harmonies. I also like think for yourself It always makes me feel better when I'm sad especially when the chorus kicks in.

Being a Scot when its mentioned i always think of Rubber Soul as the 14 track LP opening with Drive My Car but in the US it was 12 tracks opening with Ive Just Seen A Face and has a completely different feel.
