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".

[–] ScrivenerX@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rocky Raccoon.

I can't hear it without smiling.

[–] cccc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It’s such a fun little song.

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Vaggumon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Something. Followed by Michelle.

[–] supercheesecake@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

My wife says “Blackbird” and she is right ❤️

[–] beefbaby182@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Sami@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

Tomorrow Never Knows

[–] rebaraul@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] TeckFire@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] cccc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] krayj@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[–] s6original@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Her Majesty

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.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 1 year ago

Usually Come Together. It's awesome.

[–] astrosalt@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Paperback writer!

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] dsemy@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Carter@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Youthless@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Things We Said Today

[–] happy_piwakawaka@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] rambaroo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[–] goransle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

The mono mix of Rain.

[–] AncillaryJustice@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
  • 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
[–] prostetnic_jeltz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Helter Skelter

Side B of Abbey Road

[–] sethadam1@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
  1. Golden Slumbers
  2. A Day in the Life
  3. The End
  4. Gotta Get You Into My Life
  5. And Your Bird Can Sing
  6. Baby You're A Rich Man
  7. Hide Your Love Away
  8. Dear Prudence
  9. Something
  10. Cry Baby Cry
  11. Rocky Raccoon
  12. I Want You
  13. I've Got a Feeling
  14. Octopus's Garden
  15. In My Life
  16. Across the Universe

That's 15 and I could name another 15! So many options!

Tie between While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Hey Jude...

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

[–] Phantom_Engineer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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