Here, There and Everywhere -- one of Paul's best, most soothing melodies, beautiful

9. Within You Without You -- best track on Sgt. Pepper, a masterful orchestration and layering of unique eastern rhythms

8. Norwegian Wood -- maybe John's most soulful pre-activist song, straight from heart with a real story, better than "In My Life"

7. Across the Universe -- though perhaps overplayed, this beautiful poem is so filled with complex lyrics and spiritually embodies grace that it is impossible to not have on this list

6.

I know that I'll probably look at the list tomorrow (or even later today) and question what I was thinking, but I think I have my top 10 favorites worked out.

In no particular order (because if I try to put them in a specific order, I might start crying for all I know):

Norwegian Wood

P.S. I Love You

Do You Want To Know A Secret

And I Love Her

This Boy

Octopus's Garden

Yes It Is

Things We Said Today

Eight Days A Week

Long, Long, Long

The fact that 11 songs came off of the Rubber Soul album has me a bit worried...

That, and losing an entire topic I created a few days ago.  Rather discomfitting, not knowing whether any given post is going to remain...

In no specific order:

6. In My Life (love the lyrics and the simple beat)

7. Ticket to ride (energetic and great)

8. Across the universe (beautiful)

9. Golden Slumbers/Carry that weight/the End (IMO 1 song.)

It changes a lot though, but right now it's those 10.

I have thought back on my list and thought "why didn't I include (insert song here)?" I posted my list earlier but it's definitely subject to change completely!

All of these ten really could be #1, but I'm not going to cop out like someone *cough*Zig*cough* did.

Yikes! blue-meanie You ought to do something about that cough.

Actually, I had a very tough time narrowing down the list to only 10. A real cop out would have been listing the first 10 songs they released, then updating that list the next day with the next 10 songs and... Oh, wait... I already did that a while back. What was my point again?

10) Michelle - Even though this is quite a popular song, this still strikes me as Paul's true masterpiece on Rubber Soul. Even though he did better (both in and out of the Beatles), this one still tugs at the heart strings whenever I hear it.
9) Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - even though this song is another popular pick, there's something quite peaceful and serene about it. Another one I just love.

Rain - Ringo's drums, Paul's bass, the slowed down guitar, the backwards lyrics...and Ringo's drums. 

2. 9- way tie for second, in order of release...

It Won’t Be Long (WTB) - I will ask for the 856,526,421st time...why was this song not a single? 

You Can’t Do That (AHDN) - It seems like John's writing skills improved tenfold on this album - this was my favorite from it.

Ticket To Ride (H!) - Awesome guitars, John's vocals w/Paul's high harmonies (stunning)...and Ringo's drums.

The Word (RS) - The opening piano bit, one of John's first "follow me" songs (can you hear me?).

My Top 10 (Today)

10) Revolution (The first song I ever played on guitar with a band for people, now every time I hear it my hands try to play the chords, plus its a great song)

 

9) You Can't Do That (Reeaallll personal connection to this one) 

 

8) Mother Natures Son (Better than Blackbird and Yesterday in my humble opinion :])

 

7) Can't Buy Me Love ( First Beatles song I ever recognized as being The Beatles)

 

6) Here Comes The Sun (Endlessly happy song)

What a hard question! But here goes nothing!

10. Glass Onion. I love the mysterious sound to it. It's an awesome listen.

9. Getting Better. It always lifts my spirits!

8. Revolution 9. I didn't like it at first but it's extremely fascinating.

7. All You Need is Love. It makes me think of unity and truth; reconciliation with the people I love who may have done me wrong.

6. Girl. Love the emotion in John's voice.

5. Strawberry Fields Forever. It's endlessly fascinating and beautiful.

4. Something. Definitely a masterpiece.

3. For No One. I can relate to this song more than any of their other songs, I think.

Good Morning Good Morning ~ Brilliant instrumentation hidden under the horns.

Taxman ~ One of my favorite bass parts, but great instrumental as a whole. 

Tomorrow Never Knows ~ I had to let it grow on me, but it did. Listening to the tape loops isolated is interetsing

You Like Me Too Much ~ I suddenly started loving this song after listening to Help enough times.

Savoy Truffle ~ Probably my favorite on the White Album

Don't Bother Me ~ Once I heard it without vocals, I started to appreciate it a lot more. ...]]> Sun, 30 Sep 2012 03:30:28 +0100
