- Eleanor Rigby - One of Paul's best. Unique sounding, great melody and lyrics. A sad story but one with a good message.
- Tomorrow Never Knows - Their most psychadelic song. Lots of energy. Nice electronic additions. Odd drumming pattern goes with the song well.
- Here, There, Everywhere - One of Paul's most smooth tender and smoothing melodies.
- Love You To - Very unique psychadelic Indian song
- I'm Only Sleeping -- A catchy mellow passive-aggressive tune from Lennon.
- Yellow Submarine -- It's a very good Ringo song. Aquatic, catchy, fun, unique and full of Ringo's jovial attitude.
- Tax Man -- Their most overtly political song. Lyrics are done perfectly.
- For No One
- Doctor Robert - I have a doctor named Robert. He doesn't give me speed though.
- She Said She Said -- It's a nice catchy Lennon song. Kind of old school. Good drumming by Ringo.
- And Your Bird Can Sing -- What the lyrics mean? Who knows.
- Got To Get You Into My Life -- Would've been better if the whole song had a harder edge like the last third of it.
- Good Day Sunshine -- Not a bad song, but would have been better for something like Sgt Pepper . I don't think it belongs in Revolver thematically.
- I Want To Tell You -- Standard. Not bad. But Lennon's singing just doesn't mesh with this one as well I would have expected.

I started doing this, then I kept thinking "ooh, I like that song a lot" so I give up. I can't even do a number one.
Who actually cares how I rank Revolver
anyway?

I'd like to know @pepperland.
@Derek_Francis; John's singing on 'I Want To Tell You ' wont mesh as George as the lead vocalist and also wrote it.
My rankings.
- Tomorrow Never Knows - Its just way over the weirdness scales; that John went weirder with 'I Am The Walrus ' is incredulous. Take 1 is immense if not as good.
- And Your Band Can Sing - The guitars and power of the track are incredible.
- She Said, She Said - Another where the power of the track is incredible; Ringo's drumming is brilliant
- Here, There And Everywhere - Paul's vocal and the backing harmonies are quite possibly the most gorgeous on any Beatles record.
- For No One - Brilliant in how perfect Paul expresses the sadness and emptiness; the French Horn is such a great touch.
- I Want To Tell You - The lyrics are amazing and I love the fade in.
- Love You To - The intro is mind-blowing, love how it splutters into life and then tears off at a thousand miles per hour.
- Eleanor Rigby - Never cared for it until the 2015 '1+' remix. Moves it up the list as it finally works after years of "meh!".
- Good Day Sunshine - Bright and sunny pulls it thru. Best moment is when John makes Paul laugh.
- Doctor Robert - Fine when placed where it is; outside its ok.
- Yellow Submarine - Can be enjoyable in the right moment.
- Got To Get You Into My Life - Pleasant enough; best moment is when the guitar kicks in at the end.
- Taxman - Never understood why this is so popular.
- I'm Only Sleeping - Same as the above. John went for the tired feel in the song, fittingly, and because of that I just find it dull.
As seen from the above I can easily miss the first three tracks from 'Revolver ' and have a great listening experience. Some Beatle forums would probably kick me off for being a heretic.

Me and all the views at home are dying to know how the perfect pepperland ranks the songs on Revolver .
I'll put my rank later.

Alright, I'll try if you insist but there are so many good songs it's hard to give 'em a ranking.
- Got To Get You Into My Life
- Here, There And Everywhere
- Tomorrow Never Knows
- And Your Bird Can Sing
- For No One
- She Said She Said
- Good Day Sunshine
- I Want To Tell You
- Doctor Robert
- Love You To
- Taxman
- Eleanor Rigby
- I'm Only Sleeping
- Yellow Submarine
I like all of them, it's a very good album; just because Eleanor Rigby is at the bottom doesn't mean I don't think it's a masterpiece.
Are ye happy?

1. Eleanor Rigby . Strings without resonance, cold and stark lyrics. Paul at his absolute peak. More revolutionary than TNK.
2. I'm Only Sleeping . Dreamy, hazy, and surreal. The backwards guitar is not only cutting edge but one of the most satisfying sounds on the album.
3. Tomorrow Never Knows . A Lennon opus that sounds as progressive and avante guarde as it sounded in 1966.For No One . Heartbreaking lyrics on top of a moving French horn solo. A clavichord thrown in to seal this experimental chamber orchestra as pure genius.
4. For No One . Heartbreaking lyrics on top of a French horn solo, with a clavichord to turn this chamber orchestra piece into pure genius.
5. Here, There, and Everywhere. Only McCartney can make something so simple yet so mature. Astounding.
6. Got To Get You Into My Life . Paul was becoming the Beatles foremost songwriter
7. Taxman . As searing and brutal a guitar solo you could ever hear.
8. Love You To . Simply stunning composition.
9.She Said She Said . Lennon alone with Harrison on the previous track are inventing acid rock. And Your Bird Can Sing . An epic guitar melody with electric harmonies and unique timbres.
10. And Your Bird Can Sing . A fantastic guitar melody with electric harmonies and unique timbres.
11. Yellow Submarine . Fits astoundingly well in this eclectic group of songs.
12. Good Day Sunshine . One of Paul's best piano hooks.
13. Doctor Robert . Another great guitar track by Lennon. With a harmonium underlying intricate harmony.
14. I Want To Tell You . Great lyrics. Just not on the same level as the other tracks.

Love the lyrics, drums and guitars. Superb!
I don't think I need to comment on this one...
The guitar really drives the song. It almost goes in circles.
4. Taxman
A faboulous opening-track! Pauls guitar solo is great and I like the count-in.
I love the backward guitar!
6. For No One
Sad and beautiful melody. Love the horn-section. Makes me feel nostalgic for some reason.
A mellow and nice little song.
9. Love You To
Great tempo and energy. Moves like a Freight-train.
10. Eleanor Rigby
I used to adore this song, but I think i've heard it so many times now that some of the magic has gone away. I still appreciate it though.
11. Got To Get You Into My Life
Good track. Also Pauls vocals during the fade out is great!
This line pops up in my mind from time to time: "But if I seem to act unkind its' only me and not my mind". I like the song.
14. Yellow submarine
My least favorite now, but I really enjoyed it as a small kid. All the sounds and other effects.

These rankings are totally based on my mood right now. No deep thought into musical quality, just how the track struck me at the time...
1) For No One
I can feel the lyrics on this track. Gets me every time.
Chill vibes. Makes me feel mellow.
I dig it.
Need I say more? It's poetry.
5) Got To Get You Into My Life
Yes, I do.
Splendid.
7) Got To Get You Into My Life
Upbeat. Feel good.
^Same.
9) Taxman
Truth in this song...
I feel hung up, and I don't know why...
I want to rank this higher, but I can't.
12) Love You To
13) Doctor Robert
14) Yellow Submarine
Can't always get into it.
Cheers.

"I Want To Tell You " is one of my favorites, despite its low rating on these lists. Although I tried to rank the album myself and I found it damn near impossible. SO many good... great tracks. Best album ever.

Hmmmm...
This would prove to be very difficult indeed.Revolver
isn't exactly my favorite Beatles record (only my 5th favorite), but it's such a strong bunch of songs that it'd be really hard to rank.
Dr. Robert is my least favorite, I know that for sure. As for the best song, it's either For No One or Tomorrow Never Knows . And Your Bird Can Sing would round out the top 3.
@owenladner I also really like I Want To Tell You
. It's easily my favorite of George's songs from this album
