My list would read:

1.Strawberry Fields Forever
2.I am the Walrus
3.Glass Onion
4.A Day in the Life
5.Rocky Raccoon


Sorry, there can only be 5. No Honorable mentions.

4. While my guitar gently weeps
5. Eleanor Rigby

That's a pretty stunning statement (other than 'Maybe I'm Amazed', 'Imagine', 'My Sweet Lord' and a number of songs from All Things Must Pass, Imagine and Plastic Ono Band, the post-Beatles output doesn't measure up.)

Top 5:

1. A Day In The Life
2. I am The Walrus
3. You Never Give Me Your Money
4. Hey Jude
5. Tomorrow Never Knows

I think the Beatles music is good. To me its not great.
I can get into the Wings stuff much more than the Beatles stuff. You cannot decide what moves you and what doesnt.

Yep, can't explain it. It's just what I like.

I tend to like the fringe songs ... the songs that may fall just short of making the greatest hits album.

Favorite Doobie Brothers song: Eyes of Silver
Favorite ELO song: Wishing
Favorite Beatles song: Eight Days of the Week
Favorite Elvis song: Little Sister

etc.

 

[Doomsday101]

Let It Be
Revolution
Helter Skelter
Tax Man
Come Together

Let It Be
Revolution
Helter Skelter
Tax Man
Come Together

Ahhh...I was going to add Tax man in my top 5 list but nudged it out some.

Really like that song along with magical mystery tour. Both are goofy but I like them anyways.

That is what psychedelic drugs will do. :laugh2:
