[HappyH]

&list=RDJeFwaWFTGYU&start_radio=1

[Marthe48]

6. I've just seen a face

[Captain Zero]

7. I've Got a Feeling

I'm the only person with that for my favorite...

[Ponietz]

8. Yesterday

It resonates in these times.

[question everything]

9. Yesterday

[milestogo]

13. Paul said that the music came to him in a dream.

After that he asked a few people if they had heard it before- and nobody had. The words came later.

I am convinced that Paul McCartney has a musical brain. Music just comes to him naturally. He never studied music and he did not know how to read a musical score. But he has an amazing gift- it just flows through him.

I think "Yesterday" has more covers by other artists than any other song.

[MiHale]

10. Yellow Submarine...but here's a different version...

If the sub was green…it would be sublime..

[LudwigPastorius]

[lpbk2713]

11. Help!

Is the first one that popped into my head.

There are just too many.

[NNadir]

12. A Day in the Life, by far.

[Skittles]

20. same

amazing song

[dgauss]

39. The drumming alone puts that one at number 1 for me.

It's subtle but it holds that whole mesmerizing song together beautifully.

[milestogo]

14. Because

I always loved their harmonies, but this one especially.

[justaprogressive]

15. It's All Too Much

[ms liberty]

16. It would be easier to name the songs I don't like, lol

But after thinking about it, no, it's just as hard to do that, too!

[ZDU]

17. Come Together

18. I Saw Her Standing There

I love The Beatles, especially their early songs and I have albums of their both on vinyl and CD. I even have a Beatles playlist on my phone with 25 of my favorite songs of theirs on it. It's hard to say one song is my favorite but I Saw Her Standing There stands out the most with I Want Hold Your Hand a close second.

[Coloradan4Truth]

19. Golden Slumbers - Carry that Weight

[Tikki]

22. Maybe 'Paperback Writer' or 'Doctor Robert.'

I liked that mid-1966 sound..bass lines, quirky change ups.

'A Day In The Life' was brilliant, though.

[Mad_Dem_X]

23. Let It Be

A Day In The Life is a close second.

[VGNonly]

24. Tomorrow Never Knows

Some runner-ups:

Dear Prudence
She's Leaving Home
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I Feel Fine

[Aristus]

25. "Let It Be".

Not just my favorites Beatles song; quite possibly one of my favorite songs ever.

[Chasstev365]

26. Favorite: A Day in the Life. Most hated: Hey Jude

[displacedvermoter]

27. Helter Skelter

[Blues Heron]

28. Ticket to ride, and it won't be long

[JT45242]

29. While my Guitar Gently Weeps

So many great songs but that is my tops along with a couple of other George songs

[Polly Hennessey]

30. The Long and Winding Road.

[NeoTrajan]

31. Beatles fan since Ed Sullivan

There are many great Beatles songs

There are two that are generally recognized as their 'best'

1. A Day In The Life
2. I Am The Walrus

Blackbird, Across The Universe, Tomorrow Never knows, I'm So Tired, It's All Too Much

They have an endless supply of 'great' songs ... Everybody has their own faves

I was obsessed with 'I Want You: She's So Heavy' for years .... The coda is progressive rock magic, and was the very last Beatles recording

Yet ... A Day In The Life was considered their masterpiece for decades

And I personally raved about I Am The Walrus for decades as the best Beatles composition

[BarbaRosa]

32. This Boy

[Ritabert]

33. "Paperback Writer".

[rurallib]

34. I will go with "Across the Universe" and "Mother Nature's Son"

That will change in ten minutes

[milestogo]

35. And then there's "This Boy"

[Coventina]

36. Hard Day's Night

?si=zP6WenoQF6hdtIb5

[Mister Ed]

37. And Your Bird Can Sing

Runner-up:
While My Guitar Gently Weeps

[cksmithy]

38. Across the Universe

Even though John didn't like the final result, I love that song. "Nothing is going to change my world," when I am in my happy place, this is what I hear. I saw the Beatles for the first time at the Cow Palace, San Francisco, in August 1964, with my saved babysitting money at age 13. I love all of their music, fan for life.

[TommieMommy]

40. Let it Be

[sinkingfeeling]

41. Yesterday

[-misanthroptimist]

42. My favorite on any given day can vary

"Blackbird" is always near the top. Others include:
"I am the Walrus"
"Hey, Bulldog"
"Only a Northern Song"

and a few mentioned by others upthread.

[maccafan]

43. How can I choose?

As a fan who has loved them since February 9, 1964 it is hard to choose. I think my choice for today is I Will. One of Paul’s best!
