It's hard to choose, there's just so many great songs. Maybe it depends on what you're in the mood in.

Right now, it's "In My Life".

Rocky Raccoon.

I can't hear it without smiling.

It’s such a fun little song.

While my guitar gently weeps. I don't know why but I just love that one.

My wife says “Blackbird” and she is right ❤️

Eleanor Rigby, by far. Very different, and one I have always enjoyed since I was a kid

cccc@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Have you heard Zoot’s cover? It’s very different again but I love it.

Ooof. This is like asking me to pick my favorite child! Probably something off of Rubber Soul.

Tomorrow Never Knows

And your bird can sing! Specifically the recording from Anthology 2 where you can hear John and Paul laughing

Usually Come Together. It's awesome.

CheshireSnake@iusearchlinux.fyi · 4 pts · 3y

Pretty hard to choose, TBH. I'll go with 3:

  1. A Day in the Life
  2. Here Comes the Sun
  3. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Those would probably be my top 3 normally.

Eight Days a Week. Generally not a huge fan of the Beatles but that's a banger.

I never really listened to the Beatles that much, but for some reason Strawberry Fields Forever really resonates with me.

It almost feels like a perfect song to me, not sure why.

Anti_Weeb_Penguin@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

I'm between Don't let me down and Eight days a week.

I Saw Her Standing There

It's certainly not one of their many compositional masterpieces, but I really love this song because of how quintessential it is of that very early British pop invasion style with the catchy twangy guitar melody.

A Day in the Life. It was the first song I played for my son after he was born.

Blackbird

goransle@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Sometimes it's I've Got a Feeling, other times it's Happiness Is a Warm Gun. The medley from Abbey Road as a whole is up there too.

happy_piwakawaka@lemmy.nz · 3 pts · 3y

The Long and Winding Road. Not sure which version though, I love the strings on the original record, but also really like the cleanness of the restored naked version

Things We Said Today

AncillaryJustice@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
  • A Day In The Life - epic, creative and original
  • Hey Jude - such heartfelt brotherly love
  • Tomorrow Never Knows - exotic, strange and otherworldly
  • Norwegian Wood - a small slice of life from a drifter with a great sense of humor
  • I'll Follow The Sun - so sweet and sad, sang it to lullaby my babies

Here, there and everywhere is incredibly underrated in my opinion. And since I haven't seen them mentioned, Revolution and Think for Yourself are both great.

Phantom_Engineer@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Hard to say. "A Day in the Life," probably. The opposite question is easier for me to answer, with "Tomorrow Never Knows" being my least favorite.

Rain

dan1101@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

That's tough, but the song that keeps popping into my head is I've Got a Feeling.

acrobaticpenguin23@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

I root for the underated Beatles songs.

For me it is essentially a tie between

I Don't Want to Spoil the Party and I'm Looking Through You
