Spector's Let It Be , @Heath. I'll tell you it's that because I much prefer Across The Universe , Long And Winding road especially, and other tracks with the choral arrangements. I don't know, but Long and Winding Road is trash without choral arrangements, it needs those to be uplifting, transformative and generally soothing. I can listen to Spector's mix of it and fall asleep, awoken by the commercial on YouTube, but not the stripped down version.

Savoy Truffle . Good Morning Good Morning is awesome but struggles to find a groove until you decide to take a walk by the old school. Savoy Truffle comes out the gate swinging with that great electric piano riff.
US Rubber Soul or Yesterday and Today?

Both sound great... Gonna go with Rubber Soul
because I already heard all the songs of Yesterday
.. And Today and am not in the mood for those.

Oh, "Everywhere It's Christmas", absolutely. It's a full production, compared to the slapped-together non-collaborative 1968 effort.
(Oh, and just a reminder that everyone is encouraged to include a reason for their choice, even if it's only something as simple as "I choose "x" because I like it more". Answers which merely include your choice with no elaboration are frowned upon by the thread's creator (me!), and always have been. Thank you!

Anyways...

You Can't Do That . I Call Your Name has a lot of weird time changes, like during the guitar solo and leaving that. The former is more harmonious. (Although it's no Honky Tonk Women!)
Opening guitar riff; Hard Day's Night vs. Day Tripper ?

I guess I gotta say "Day Tripper ", for sounding more "riff-like" - weirdly, it's the bongo drums that mostly stand out in AHDN , for me.
Better "You, you, you": "P.S. I Love You" or "Hold Me Tight "?
Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Oh, P.S. I Love You, no contest. They are very harmonious, those "you's", and are there for purpose, not just running out of breath on Hold Me Tight .
The Long And Winding Road or Because as a classical music?

The end of 'P.S. I Love You' is really cool where you get very brief cameos from John and George, and the arrangement is quite nice too.
Depends on the version of 'TLAWR' as the basic track without the Spector overdubs is really good. I think 'Because ' needs to be part of the album for me to enjoy it as on it's own something is missing as beautiful as it is.

Beatles gum, because chewing on a Beatle wig sounds exceedingly unpleasant.
Oldies cover albums: John's "Rock And Roll" or Paul's "Choba B CCCP "?

I'm going with Choba B CCCP just for diversity and the fact I'm impressed Paul recorded with Soviets in mind during the height of the Cold War.
More trustworthy; a Jet (one jet to always love me) or a Miami BOAC plane?

Jet - because dogs are more honest than corporations.

I'm gonna go with the Casino, just because it's the model that's closer to my own guitar:

Tell Me Why - because it's more fun to sing along with in a croaky untrained voice.
