Hello!

Here is the top 10 I came up with. It is based solely on what I like to listen to – not necessarily on musical, lyrical, or technical merit.

 

1. A Day In The Life – One of the best constructed musical pieces in history. Takes me to another place!

2. Something – Simply beautiful. The bass line and harmonies are gorgeous.

3. I Saw Her Standing There – Best album opener and one of my favorite Rock and Roll songs ever. Always makes me want to move!

4. Eleanor Rigby – Such a change from anything before it. Love the strings and the lyrics.

5. A Hard Day’s Night – From the opening chord to the end – what a rush!

6. Day Tripper – One of the best riffs ever. First thing I tried to learn on guitar.

7. Blackbird – I love Paul’s acoustic guitar work on this one!

8. What You’re Doing – This song is just so catchy to me. The intro and coda are as close as we get to a Ringo solo until The End .

9. Help ! – I really love early John rockers!

10. Martha My Dear – The piano intro pulls me in and just keeps getting better!

 

Honorable Mentions:

Here Comes The Sun

All My Loving

Strawberry Fields Forever

Got To Get You Into My Life

Oh! Darling

Abbey Road Medley

4.  Here Comes The Sun
5.  I Am The Walrus
6.  Eleanor Rigby

Welcome to the forum, @maxwellssiiverhammer! john-lennon-salute_gif

I think that’s a great selection – including some of my personal favourites, such as Helter Skelter and Rain .

And in the end

The love you take is equal to the love you make
