Note by Ahhh Girl 12 January 2015: Formerly, posts 30-88 were in a separate thread titled “What’s Your Favorite Song?”

I like the song It’s All Too Much from the Yellow Submarine 1968 album. Is just one and i like a lot of songs.

But well, is a good page. Viva The Beatles Bible.

Cheers, Dark Horse

I have a very difficult time with favorites, for any topic; but especially this one! I really love 'In my life”, “And Your Bird Can Sing “, and “I'm only sleeping” though. 🙂

Hey Bulldog .

Because it is a real rock song and Ringo is a much better drummer than many people think, it has a great piano riff, Georges guitar solo really rocks and most of all the cooperation of John  and Paul – and the improvisation at the end – show us that they are still having fun in the studio. Check the video on Youtube and enjoy!

I hate picking just one. But if forced, I have to say “Dear Prudence “. It has the perfect blend of harmonies and instrumentation. Also, when John “brings it home” near the end…that is truly a magical moment in music history!

I think Strawberry Fields Forever is their best song, just because of all the emotion in the lyrics. I think the lyrics describe an egotistical man who gets away from everything by going to Strawberry Fields, but that's just my interpretation of it. The lyrics really hit close to home with me as I feel the same way John felt while writing the song.

Too hard a question for me. I definately prefer the second half of their career, but I'd still have to pretty much sit around choosing 1 or 2 songs off each album and setting up elimination brackets, so not something I can easily answer…

While My Guitar Gently Weeps on the White Album

But my favorite take of the song is on The Concert For Bangladesh, definately

Like any other Beatles fan its hard to pick just one favorite song. So I guess by category it would have to be:

Love related : “Michelle ” Or “Something
Dance related : “Roll Over Beethoven
Sad related : “A Day In The Life
Feel good/ Random: ” I Am The Walrus
Childhood memory: ” Yellow submarine”

Ugh, what a question. I think it's almost impossible for me to think of one song I like best- but there are some that I especially adore.

Sun King + Mean Mr. Mustard, Martha My Dear , She's Leaving Home, All Together Now , Baby You're a Rich Man, The Inner Light , No Reply , Within You and Without You, Yer Blues , Misery etc etc etc.

I could go on for hours, and I'd end up listing every song most likely. They're just too good.

Tongue, lose thy light. Moon, take thy flight… see ya, George!

Great song, isn't it? I don't necessarily believe in it, but, the lyrics and melody are perrrfect.
What are a few of your favourites?

I think it must be Strawberry Fields Forever for me. It has it all, it's perfection. The melody, the odd harmonies, the lyrics, Johns vocals and the cool production, everything just fits.

Hands down Strawberry Fields.  I can listen to that song over and over and over.

A close second to Thing We Said Today.  The chord progression, the driving beat, the melody and harmonies there are tought to beat.

Wait , does side 2 of Abbey Road count as one song?

An impossible question, of course — like many here, I could pick a different song every day for a month and not repeat myself.  But if there were one that never fails to get me going, it's A Day In The Life .  Kinda has everything, doesn't it?

"We were just a band, who made it very very big, that's all."

Why everyone dislikes the first half of their career?

My favourite Beatles' song is I Saw Her Standing There . The first song of the first album. Very nice song.

Other good songs are For No One and The Fool On The Hill and, of course, the great Sgt. Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Hi all, I love some of the songs listed, its so hard to list favorites but i have to say that the remastered versions have really brought some songs alive.

I cant believe how good “I'll follow the sun” is now. The harmonies are fantastic. It was always a great song and one of my favs.

Hi, this is my first post. When I think of favorites, they're usually George songs, but they will change depending on the mood, but for now I'll go with “If I Needed Someone .” I can see where the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield got their “signature sound,” by copying the Beatles.

Favorite Paul song: The Night Before

Favorite John song: Across The Universe

Favorite Ringo song: Don't Pass Me By (It's just funny)

to me it really depends a lot on my mood and it changes from time to time. strawberry fields, She Said She Said , Ticket To Ride are surely always top of the list. but then i often really like those little mccartney songs like Her Majesty or some of Abbey Road 's side 2 like Polythene Pam , mean mr. mustard etc.
