Here Comes the Sun

[dirk4mvp]

Come together

it's the only Beatles song I like

[nomanches]

Within You Without You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6kfPnNMGKA)

Great song. I've always felt that Harrison should be placed on the same level as
Lennon/McCartney in terms of songwriting abilities. He's just as good, if not better.

[CuckingFunt]

He's second to Lennon on my list, and both are miles ahead of McCartney.

Hey Jude

How could I forget I am the Walrus..

Has anyone one heard the Jim Carrey version.. I think on a tribute album George Martin put out?

Jim Carrey is the last person I would want to hear sing a Beatles song :lol

[Argiebabe]

"If I fell" http://youtube.com/watch?v=Eh5YwjfaCXk
"black bird" http://youtube.com/watch?v=-ERnT1X9HPw

They both mean a lot to me

[CuckingFunt]

Something (http://youtube.com/watch?v=XNsvYHiNK9k&feature=related)
You've Got to Hide Your Love Away (http://youtube.com/watch?v=UvtBp-VL7X8)
It's Only Love (http://youtube.com/watch?v=hRFNhLEKNRE)
Eleanor Rigby (http://youtube.com/watch?v=boc7rnhkLAk)
I Need You (http://youtube.com/watch?v=hWyKlXpstzo)
In My Life (http://youtube.com/watch?v=qQzlIKen2aw)
We Can Work It Out (http://youtube.com/watch?v=8ij6nBQfQoo)
While My Guitar Gently Weeps (http://youtube.com/watch?v=T7qpfGVUd8c)

It's hard to narrow my favorites down, but I guess if I could only pick a few, these would be it. "Something" is one of my all time favorite love songs, along with the Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin" (sans crazy montage stuck to the end of it - I HATE it when KMFR plays the montage), Dan Fogelberg's "The Last Nail", and Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You".

These could all be on my list, as well (two of them already are).

Although, this thread is dangerous for me. I could probably find reasons to put almost any of their songs (Lady Madonna, The Fool on the Hill, and Your Mother Should Know are all notable exceptions) on my list of favorites.

Ditto - I spent a good percentage of my childhood playing all of the Beatles albums on vinyl. I remember my Dad saying that he was always really excited when a new Beatles album came out, because it was one of the only times where you could practically guarantee that you'd like every song you heard on it. Notable exception being the Magical Mystery Tour, he hadn't even saved that one so I heard it for the first time on cassette later.

I love "Magical Mystery Tour." My mom has the double album (with book in good condition), so I grew up listening to that one. The film is fucking insane, but I liked it, too. I haven't seen it since I was a kid, though.

[JMarkJohns]

I can hear it now, but I don't recall its name... It's the one where none of them sing, and nobody's playing an instrument.

Where's the love for the Yellow Submarine?

Hmm I went and had a look around to see who was actually wrote my favs, I mean most of them are creditied lennon/mccartney but it's interesting to see who actually wrote them. Got a few from all of them... cept Ringo of course.

[Thunder Dan]

Where's the love for the Yellow Submarine?

at the bottom of the sea where it belongs

[mrsmaalox]

I prefer the earliest stuff they did, I like their "raw" sound more than the doctored up sound that money brings. But really I like it all. I don't have the patience to look for youtubes right now, but these are probably my faves:

Love Me Do

Do You Want To Know A Secret?

I Should Have Known Better

I'll Cry Instead

I'm A Loser

Help

Yesterday

Eleanor Rigby

Oh Darling

The Long and Winding Road

[degenerate_gambler]

never cared for their music..

more of a stones guy.

[Thunder Dan]

I prefer the Stones as well, but I can appreciate and enjoy some Beatles stuff. I don't think they are the be-all end-all of music because they influenced more pop. The Stones represented rock and roll and I think over time the Beatles image was thought to be more about rock than what it actually was. The Beatles were a great band if you are in to pop music, but I'm more of a rocker through the core so I side with the Stones- though I don't even know why they are compared to eachother.

I think they are compared only because both were British and happening at the same time. But that's about as far as it goes. They took different directions early with the Beatles being more lyric driven and the Stones just wanting to rock old rhythm and blues. That being said I think they were all just mediocre musicians at best.

[CuckingFunt]

All of them being the Beatles and the Stones collectively? I disagree.

[samikeyp]

Yesterday is my favorite although I am also big on In My Life, Revolution and Get by with a little help from my friends and While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Speaking of that last song, has anyone heard the Clapton/McCartney version on the George Harrison tribute album? Awesome.

[Los Spurs]

Let it Be

I wouldn't say they were mediocre musicians.They were able to musically express themselves in a way that made them great musicians.

Now, if you are talking about them being mediocre technical wise in their respective instruments, then I may agree.

Lennon hints at it in one of the last interviews he did


I think Paul and Ringo stand up with any of the rock musicians. Not technically great -- none of us are technical musicians. None of us could read music. None of us can write it. But as pure musicians, as inspired humans to make the noise, they are as good as anybody.

I think Keith Richards is one of the top 10 guitarists ever so I have to disagree

[peewee's lovechild]

Julia.

I named my daughter after that song.

It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life.

[Thunder Dan]

Dancing in the Dark
Working on the Highway
Born to Run
I'm on Fire
Born in the USA

too many great songs to choose

[peewee's lovechild]

I'd also have to go with:

Across The Universe
In My Life
Girl
No Reply
The Long and Winding Road
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
A Day In The Life
Happiness Is A Warm Gun

There are plenty more, but I just love these songs.

Playboy Interview (http://www.john-lennon.com/playboyinterviewwithjohnlennonandyokoono.htm)

Yes I was referring to each individual's skill with their respective instruments. That combined with songwriting talents, creative vocal skills and the cult of personality made them all indisputably great.

"Hey little girl, is your daddy home . . ."

I mean I don't even get how Abby Road became a classic cover shot and this one didn't. Look at the 2 side by side and it's obvious to anyone with eyes and taste which one is better. I was thinking it probably got over looked because it was from a single and not a full LP

To say that the Beatles were mediocre musicians is to expose how much you don't know about music.

You couldn't be more wrong.

The Boss wasn't barefoot.

That was the problem.

Love the flames, though.

there are two things about that cover that people don't even know 1)the flames are real and that The Boss isn't even bothered by standing in fire and 2) the flames represent the deal Bruce made with the devil to be able to write and preform such kick ass songs

The Boss is fire proof.

He was covered in a flame retardant when he was born.

Doctors knew that he was going to be someone special.

You obviously don't.

"Because" is another great song.

The harmonies in that song are Beach Boys-esque.
