Savoy Truffle: Great style with distorted saxophones and the falsetto vocals. plus it's about candy.

...Mr Kite!: Always reminds me of a sort of scary circus, cool harmonium and bass lines. I like the Love version with the I Want You transition.

When I'm 64: Pretty good, the clarinets add a nice sound to it, as well as the minor sound in the bridges.

Don't Pass me By: it's ok, but not one of my favourites. kind of catchy.

For me I'd have to rate them in this order: Savory Truffle, Don't Pass Me By, When I"m 64, and BFBOMK!

I like how Savory Truffle is talking about candy. And the horns on the song are also pretty sweet.

Don't Pass Me By has the best fiddle part ever. I really wish I knew how to play it on my violin. And Ringo's vocals are pretty nice on the song.

When I'm 64 is just a fun light song. One of my favorites to listen to when I'm in a really happy giddy mood.

I don't know why but BFTBOMK! never really ...

I love all the songs.

Savoy Truffle is cool funky song.It could be talking about sex or drugs but instead is about candy. Mhhhh……

Don't pass me by has one of the best intros ever and the country violin is great. Also the chorus is very catchy. "Don't pass me by don't make me cry don't make me blue"… I love to sing it.

Mr. Kite. John made this song to sound is as terrifying as circus is. I hate circus and I always imagine this song with the Yellow Submarine clown singing and some crazy clowns dancing ...

Why the song choices? Do they tie in together in some way I don't know about? I guess I'd rate them Savoy Truffle, When I'm 64, Don't Pass Me By and Mr. Kite.

I like savoy truffle a little bit more than don't pass me by but not by much. the other songs i'd wouldn't compare i couldn't really choose if it is within you without you and a day in the life to choose between.

Hmm...

When I'm 64 has to be first, 'cause it was one of the first Beatle songs I ever heard, and I'm wayy too attached to that song, I love it so much!

I like Savoy Truffle and Don't Pass Me By pretty much equally - the guitar and horns on Savoy Truffle are just so utterly satisfying; and the fiddling on Don't Pass Me By combined with Ringo's adorable, innocent voice makes it so great!

And Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite! is decent, but it's not super memorable for me, you know?

There is no point really, but did you know it was based of a picture John seen? It's actually historically accrurate in some ways.

When I'm 64. Savory Truffle. Don't Pass me by. And Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite!

When I'm 64 has been a favorite of mine for a long long long time. Whenever my mom calls me this songs comes up. (Will you still need me will you still feed me when i'm 64! )

The more I learned who this song was for and what is was about I found it fun and fluffy.

Don't pass me by is a good song, but not a favorite of mine.

And Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite! i don't like that very ...

Savoy Truffle and Don't Pass Me By are definitley favorites for me.

Savoy Truffle, o my gosh, the horns are amazing! And Don't Pass Me By is one of my favorite songs sung by Ringo, besides Yellow Submarine.

I love them all! Don't Pass Me By took a while to grow on me. Yet for some reason, it always sounds out of place (even for the White Album). I'm not sure why.Does anyone else get that? I do like it regardless.

Right now, Savoy Truffle. Great lyric and groove and the horns are awesome! Ask me tomorrow and I may give you a different answer.

I always liked the heaviness of Don't Pass Me By, being a bum-bah-bum-bah-bum kind of song. I like the higher chorus in Savoy Trufffle the most, when George goes up and it sounds like a reprimanding matron. BFTBOMK! is a great one as well, not one of my favourites, but I do like the vibe. And When I'm Sixty-Four is just endearing, especially with the little laugh and hoo! at the end.

So, in order of favourite to least,
When I'm Sixty-Four, Savoy Truffle, Don't Pass Me By, BFTBOMK!

Maybe- I don't know. They're all so different, why ...

I'm not sure about this comparison, but I'd say Mr. Kite is by far number one for me, followed by When I'm 64, Savoy Truffle and last and certainly least Don't Pass Me By. Sorry Ringo...
