Abbey Road – I think both Abbey Road and Let It Be are underrated albums, but Abbey Road has the edge for me with several great songs, skilful work from George Martin, and it is really the last album.
Blue Jay Way or Flying ?

Offline Strawberry Fields Forever because IMO its music is more mystical and I love the inward vision and subtle emotion in the lyrics. And John’s vocal is SUPERB.

OUCH 
I’m gonna go with Day Tripper because RIFF. It’s very very very close though, WCWIO is such a great counterpoint of Len and Mac and I’ve loved it forever.
Magical Mystery Tour in its original EP form or Capitol’s butchered Revolver ?

okay this was literally the EXACT same thought I had when I read that question, WORD FOR WORD.
and to answer your question I’d say MMT because Revolver has NO JOHN SONGS!!!
well that’s not true but it certainly has less and the missing ones are essential to the album. So.
George’s eyebrows or Paul’s eyelashes?

Offline Oh, man. I’d say George’s eyebrows because 1) George and 2) eyebrows (both of which are things I adore independently of each other). It’s close, though, Paul has some amazing flutterers.
(Revolver is just too good to accept in any form less than its unadulterated perfection. So. Wise choice, Fiddy.)
(Also, Day Tripper is very fun to play because, as I said, RIFF)

“Something ” in the way those elaborate bass parts move, they can feel a bit overthought. (George thought so) “Hey Bulldog ” bass drives that song along; “Something ” is more meditative. I’m choosing “Bulldog”‘s bass as more necessary to the song, less like exquisite decoration. (plus, funkier!)

Hm, interesting point to make that HB’s bass drives the song more whereas Something meanders lazily around the song like ornate Baroque architectural adornment. Both marvellous and serve their respective songs in different ways that suit the songs, just depends on what mood you’re in.

Something ‘s section is harder to play so I’ll choose that. Underrated bit of drumming there.
