I have such a hard time picking a favourite song. Or album for that matter, but I often come back to Oh! Darling. Definitely one of my top choices.

But there are so many..

Haven't checked out McCartney's recent stuff... I'll have to get 'em on ebay!!

I always liked George best. any other George fans out there?[/quote]

I think George is so underrated. "Something" is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Happiness is Warm Gun is simply the greatest song ever!!!!!!!!!

CUBS you beat me to it! Happiness is a Warm Gun is definitely my favorite Beatles song. Then Hey Bulldog, Something, and Revolution 9.
My favorite Beatle tends to switch back and forth between John and George

Oh, and does anyone else feel like throwing something at the TV when those Target commercials come on?

When I'm asked what my fave Beatles song is I say A Day In The Life. Then I change it to Something.Or I Am The Walrus.Or Helter Skelter....yeah it's a bitch to pick just one.

"Tommorow Never Knows" sounds fresh---even now. If you just threw that on the radio and didn't tell anyone who it was people would be flipping out at how different it is...

For sure. I absolutely love that song!


"While My Guitar Gently Weeps"....one of my favourites.
"Across the Universe"....this song kills me, I love it.


There are too many amazing Beatles songs

The Beatles were my first favorite group. I was 5 years old when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show and I remember kissing Paul on the television and dancing around the living room. I had my Beatle card collection and my flasher ring and pin back buttons that I got out of the gum machine. I saw "Hard Day's Night" at the movie theatre during its original run. You couldn't hear the movie because the audience screamed during the whole thing.

In the 80s, I used to go to clubs to see a local cover band that did all British Invasion stuff. I danced my ass off many, many nights. It was great fun.

At this point in my life, The Beatles are part of my past. The music has no relevance to me. I'd probably turn the channel if they came on the radio.

Run For Your Life is wonderfully sadistic.

Depressing fucking story time...

I had ALL of the original albums on vinyl at one point. I even had an original copy of Two Virgins complete with brown bag overcover. My ex pawned it all!! I almost went to jail over that.

I could understand....

I Am The Walrus is my favorite song from The Beatles. Its so twisted and the sound is very abstract and discounted. Yeah great stuff. The White Album is great too. Magical Mystery is also my favorite album.

Um... not to be a bitch or anything... but I've Just Seen A Face is Paul, is it not?

I'm just saying.

i loved love loved the beatles so very much for a very long time... i got really into them when i was about 12 and was pretty obsessed for most of my life
i have a crazy collection from this time, posters, vinyl, ash trays, lunchboxes, clothing, lighters, action figures, john lennon pacifier and baby bottle (i don't even have kids)

when i was 20 i spent 2 weeks in liverpool and did crazy stuff ... climbed over the fence at strawberry fields and freaked the guy i went there with out super hard (he said i was worse than a japanese tourist hehehe, i was cleaning the garbage up at the site)
hung out at the docks a lot... watched a ferry cross the mersey (jerry and the pacemakers)
the guy that owned the hostel i stayed at had a band that played in a band that competed with the beatles in battle of the bands type stuff. it was awesome and he had a lot of great stories
ate at sgt peppers bistro in penny lane... cried at the end of the beatles experience museum, cried at the end with the recreation of the imagine video set
this was probably the apex of my beatlemania... after that i don't know what happened?
i still love their music but my obsession has quiteted and i don't listen to them nearly as much as i used to... don't really gush anymore either, don't gobble up every piece of information i can...

love the beatles but i have to say i am not in love with them anymore
hah!


revolver used to be my favorite
but i find that now i pretty much only find myself listening to the white album
