I had to do a top 5:

5. I'll Get You

4. This Boy

3. I Am The Walrus

2. Revolution

1. Things We Said Today

Speaking of B-sides, how do people feel about Thank You Girl? Its probably the only Beatles song I really dislike, I just find the sound of it so...annoying

I'd put it on a par with I'll Get You, its ok but nowhere near as good as its flip. I generally remember the difficulty Ringo had with the drumming at the end during recording it and that makes it more fun to listen to.

I have to go with "Strawberry Fields Forever"... even though technically it's not a B-side, it was a double A-side...

"Don't Let Me Down" is a very close second.

"Please don't bring your banjo back, I know where it's been.. I wasn't hardly gone a day, when it became the scene.. Banjos! Banjos! All the time, I can't forget that tune.. and if I ever see another banjo, I'm going out and buy a big balloon!"

I like I'll Get You. The bass and middle 8 are really good, but I agree, its obviously miles away from the brilliance of She Loves You.

An A-side is an A-side. You can't just call it a B-side because you want to say you like that song. It's not a B-side. That was petty, I know. Sorry.

I love Old Brown Shoe. I remember finally buying Past Masters and listening to that song for the first time. I think I had that song on repeat for like a month. This Boy, I Am The Walrus, I'll Get You and I'm Down are other honorable mentions, though.

All the ones that have come up here.

Always the B sides were played at home more because the A sides were all over the radio.......

BUT......One that hasn't been mentioned....... (And I'm not trying to be perverse in mentioning it now) is, Baby You're A Rich Man.........For some reason I loved how first time it went 'Keep'all your money in a big brown bag.......And later there was a gap........Keep all your money in a big brown bag.

Old Brown Shoe - back when I had the single I listened to it more than the "A" side (once I had listened a few times to hear it without the "bleep" we had to suffer through on radio here).

Yes, a lot of that in these parts as well.

Nice choice. The hook in that song for me is Macca's bass. Tremendous.

For me, the favorite side - A, B, Z or otherwise - will always be Rain.

To the fountain of perpetual mirth, Let it roll for all its worth.
