Favorite Beatles song (songs)?

[mateo31]

I know this is a very tough question, but if you had to pick what would it be. I am in the middle of a Beatles obsession right now. Mine would either be The Ballad of John & Yoko, Yer Blues, Rocky Raccon, I dig a Pony, Norwegian Wood, or Taxman. Maybe throw Hey Jude in there. Ah, Heck some of their Phsychedelic Rock is great too. All timeless classics I tell ya. :hammerhead: :rockon:

[different107]

i like the beatles version of that mrs robinson song....i dont think they wrote it though...correct me if im wrong

[hateraid]

My favorite SONG of all time is In My Life.
I got a rotation of my favorite Bealte tunes. It goes like so:

1- I Wanna Hold Your Hand
2- 8 Days a Week
3- Oh Bla Di Oh Bla Da
4- Can't Buy Me Love
5-Twist and Shout
6- Come Together
7- A Day In The Life
8- Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
9- Hey Jude
10- Let It Be
11- In My Life
12- Yesterday

[reppy]

No "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"? I'm also a pretty big fan of "Here Comes The Sun". Honestly, I don't think there's a single Beatles song that I don't like. And I've even heard most of their rare/B-sides/retakes/alternates and whatever. I love 'em all.

[craigthomasb]

the song fro this video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Uag0LLLdDls)

[mateo31]

Yeah "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a great piece of composition done by George Harrison. Indeed "Here Comes the Sun" is great as well. You have the golden Lennon/Mccartney duo, but George could take care of bussiness as well. I believe Frank Sinatra also called "Something" one of the best loves songs of all time, and I agree. I can also relate to "The Fool On the Hill." :roll:

[zybine]

Tough to pick one. I'd say Here comes the sun (thank you George).
Sexy sadie is not praised enough (that's for john).
Here, there and everywhere is paul's most angelical tune.

[Qwyjibo]

Tough to narrow it down since there's so many great songs but there's 3 songs that always stand out for me:

Help
Norwegian Wood
Hey Jude

[xxxSuperStar]

A few that I like more than others:

Good Day Sunshine
Blackbird
Let It Be
I'm Looking Through You

[Zombles]

Michelle, Eleanor Rigby, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Yesterday, Cry Baby Cry, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and like a dozen others.

[Se]

1. Blackbird
2. A day in the life
3. You've got to hide your love away
4. Two of Us
5. Across the Universe
6. Helter Skelter
7. Get Back
8. Rocky Raccoon
9. Something
10. Come Together

Man I love the Beatles, awesome thread!

My band does covers of Helter Skelter, Blackbird and Imagine. I transcribed Imagine for guitar if anyones interested in playing it.

[Prodigy]

My favourite is Hey Jude.. but even that has nothing on THIS band...

That is not a Beatles song, that is a John Lennon solo work song, but it does not really matter that much anyway. Still good either way.

[mateo31]

Hey Reppy I actually have seen that "Here Come the Sun " performance by Bon Jovi at the Vh1 music awards. It was sexcellent.

http://www.westmidlandbirdclub.com/images/gallery/TaylorD/Blackbird20040210.jpg BLACKBIRD

The real story behind blackbird is quite cool...

During the U.S. civil rights movement, the Beatles were watching blacks getting mistreated on TV (sprayed by hoses, dogs, ect). A "bird" in U.k. is a word for woman. So listen to the lyrics again with with this is mind...

"you've been waiting for this moment to be free, blackbird fly..."

that's why the Beatles were great.

[reppy]

Yeah. And I'll admit the first time I saw that it choked me up a bit. :cry:

That's cool. I never knew that. It seems today that artists have given up on euphemism and metaphor. Part of the reason I don't like mainstream music much.

[bigkingsfan]

No one mentioned Strawberry Fields Forever and Please Please Me? Both top 500 all time Rolling Stone songs.

[mateo31]

Yeah The beatles offered solutions in their songs. For example "All You Need is Love." Love is always a good solution.

John Lennon is the GOAT

[andgar923]

I like their more experimental stuff (I Want You (She's so Heavy), as much as their more pop sappy songs (Do You Want To Know A Secret). It's too hard to narrow fav songs. I think it'll be easier to list all their albums and then select the top 5 from each one.

[B-Low]

Hey wooldbroode, I've trying reaching you on ICQ a couple times and you haven't written back yet, what's the deal bro?

Now WHY ON EARTH would an amateur MILF f*ck private aircraft documents!?

Oh, and my faves are A Hard Day's Night(so ****ing catchy and toe-tappity) and While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

I'm more interested in the homemade nude wives...which I can only assume are just piles of pillows with mops for hair and Styrofoam cups for boobs

That doesn't sound like The Beatles, that's more like Wesley Willis.

I'm particularly intrigued by 'homemade porn at work', and why there would be a homemade glass kiln involved. You must've figured out a way to prevent glass from melting, and invented a kiln made of glass. Tell me your secrets!

One that hasn't been mentioned yet that I'd put up there is I'm Only Sleeping. Insanely hard to pick just one for the Beatles tho.

My fav beatles song is hey jude.

[Stinky Dog]

anything off revolver which is maybe the greatest album ever (along with pet sounds)...

I also love 'A Day In The Life' off Sgt. Peppers.

There are 1 or 2 songs I'm not entirely in love with on Revolver but I agree with you. Its prob between Sgt Peppers and Revolver for my favorite Beatles album but i'll almost always go with Revolver.

[RedBlackAttack]

Hmmm... Tough one, but I'm going to pick one that is a bit outside of the 'mainstream' (at least, as far out as you can get when it comes to The Beatles)...

I glanced through the previous pages and didn't see this posted, shockingly...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETO3YfDKEI4

Incredible melody, songwriting (as always) and the lyrics are fantastic.

White Album getting really underrated

[Myth]

Is it wrong of me to like Live and Let Die more than any Beatles song?

Otherwise, Walrus and Helter Skelter come to mind. Really it is hard to go wrong with any number of different Beatles songs.

[RedBlackAttack]

White Album getting really underrated
I like the White Album, but it may not be in my Top 3 Beatles albums. Actually, I know it isn't...

1. Abbey Road
2. Revolver
3. Rubber Soul/Sgt Peppers

But, still...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTU2Y0VFH0E

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nl0lwmqw5M (better than the original, imo)


The interesting thing about the White Album is that, while incredible, I actually prefer most of the stripped down versions of the songs that were released on Anthology. A bit over-produced for me, perhaps? :confusedshrug:

[Jailblazers7]

White Album getting really underrated

Don't get me wrong, most of the Beatles albums are seperated by inches but I've gotta make a distinction. It could prob change daily but Revolver is on top for me with the rest competing for second, third, fourth, etc. Blackbird is prob my favorite Beatles song ever.

Unfortunately, that song is a casualty of learning the guitar for me. It was the first 'finger-picking' song that I ever learned and I sort of played the hell out of it as a youngster.

Then, whenever playing out, people would demand that we play it... Now, I just sort of cringe.

It is a shame, though, because it is a really great song.

[Stinky Dog]

In 'A Day In the Life' is such a special song. Lennon and McCartney both wrote major portions of the lyrics with a very unique contrast in style on display. Paul referencing his youth while Lenon wrote about contemporary issues. You have probably the most seamless transition in a song ever after Paul sings 'somebody spoke and i went into the dream'...pure brilliance. Like many other great Beatles songs it's full of subtle and no so subtle references.

I feel like this song really encompasses what they were all about. In my opinion the greatest band ever.

I think I'm going to learn to play this summer (my brother gave me his old Martin which I may have posted on here before lol) and I think I'm going to try my hardest to avoid scenarios like that.

Definitely get into it. I can't imagine life without my trusty D-28, at this point... By far the best 'hobby' ever and a great stress reliever. What kind of Martin is your bro giving you?

They are really the Rolls Royce of acoustic guitars.

I love A Day in the Life. I might disagree slightly on the seamless transition part, though... In between the stylistic mashup, they take you through a whirlpool of orchestral madness that really serves as the song's bridge. Don't get me wrong.... Fantastic twist. But, they definitely make it clear 'this is John's part' and 'this is Paul's part.'

Good to see you back in the OTC, btw.

I think its someting like a D15M just from googling it. Beautiful guitar. We went to their factory years ago and it was awesome to tour with the people that made them.

I really wanted to re-learn piano but we recently moved and got rid of ours. I really want to learn jazz piano.

Thanks man. Are you excited for FF? Should we going to up the ante a bit? I wonder if everyone will join the league that participated last year? Everyone seemed to really enjoy myself (I know I did). The league was literally drama free minus that idiot mongoloid and really well run/active/everything was good. You were an excellent co-commissioner.

Oh, man... I'd also love to get back into piano. My parents made me take lessons as a kid... I hated it. Now, I really wish I would have stuck with it.

But, if you have a background in piano, you will find the guitar much easier to pick up. It isn't that the instruments are anything alike, but the dexterity that you learn playing the piano really helps with the axe... Especially for beginners.

I'm definitely excited and I'm all-in for upping the ante (maybe we could give weekly payouts if people are willing to spend a little more). The one thing that is scaring me, though, is this lockout. It could really hurt Fantasy Football.

Even putting the fact that there may not be a season aside (which is unlikely), it is going to be really hard to put together a league with so much uncertainty... And draft dates, etc.

They really need to make a deal.

[Jailblazers7]

And now that you mention FF, i'll want to join even if you ante up. That's if you have a spot in that league cause if previous members wanna continue then they get the spot and who knows what will happen with the CBA. My effort in prime's league was shameful cause I winged the draft but I at least pulled a couple nice deals to make my team respectable by getting Mike Wallace.

I'm very confident a deal will be struck long before we're even participating in fantasy mock drafts on ESPN. I definitely like the idea of overhauling the payout system but we'd need to up the ante (as you noted).

You got Mike Wallace from me, lol.

I can't remember if I won that league or not. I think I lost in the finals.

Brag: I won 5 of 6 leagues I participated in last year (all of the money leagues) and cashed out almost 4k when all was said and done :pimp:

And you tried to rob me outta Kyle Orton before the season by offer me Jacoby Jones for him and I rejected that shit lol. I just didn't do much predraft research cause I had very little money on the lihe this year and ended up drafting Juston Forsett and other very bad picks.

Can't fault a player for trying. IIRC I drafted Kevin Kolb and ended up picking up Vickdog off the WW.

I did in every league I was in.

[PHX_Phan]

I really hope they reach an agreement, not only because football is my favorite sport to watch but because I did FF for the first time last season and it was awesome. Led the league from week 4 and out, finished second. Not too bad, but it was a simplified league where you just pick team defenses.

[RedBlackAttack]

I did in every league I was in.
In our money league, this guy got Vick, Hillis, Stevie Johnson, Tamme, Vincent Jackson (the reason he beat me in the semis)... All off of waivers.

I didn't get Vick I drafted Phil Rivers (one of my few good picks) along with Arian the Barbarian Foster.

I did pick up Hillis/Stevie J/Tamme/Traded peanuts for Colston who was a BEAST in the second half of the season...I also picked up Benjarvus Greene Ellis off WW he was the epitome of consistency. I drafted Vincent Jackson too :)

I also picked up Rivers. I saw he was listed so low on the draft cheat sheets so I held out and grabbed him in the 5th or 6th round. Drafted Colston too, was about to drop him right before he started beasting but decided to hold out, and it paid off.

Also grabbed Greene-Ellis, Tolbert, and Ryan Torain off waivers, which was awesome since all my original backs save for Chris Johnson took huge hits.

[SuperPippen]

There are only about 5 or 6 songs in the Beatles catalog that I don't love, so it's difficult to choose. I think these would have to be my top 10 favorites:

Dear Prudence
Strawberry Fields Forever
She Loves You
A Day in the Life
Don't Let Me Down
Norwegian Wood
In My Life
You Never Give Me Your Money
Hey Jude
I've Just Seen a Face

[Smoke117]

Ten songs in no specific order:

And I Love Her
For No One
Across the Universe (naked)
Here Comes the Sun
Let it Be
A Day in the Life
Paperback Writer
You never give me your money
In My life
Oh! Darling

[andgar923]

'Long, Long, Long' is very overlooked.

A simple song yet subtly powerful song.

No it wasn't. I generally don't care for woman singing in general though I adore Emmylou Harris because 1. She was a ****ing fox when she was younger and 2. she sang with Gram Parson's one of my favorite country musicians but you are just wrong...this just doesn't have close to the emotion and heart break as the original as Paul sang sang it.

completely disagree I guess.

I think it has more soul and emotion than Paul's version. I think Paul is a genius technical singer and has his moments in which he showed great soul and emotion, but Harris bests him with her version.

I also prefer the music on this version as well. It's more solemn and true to the song than the original in my book. The harpsichord sounds too baroque and the English horn sounds too aristocratic.

[Cowboy Thunder]

Lil B > The Beatles

[rufuspaul]

the English horn sounds too aristocratic.


The French horn makes that song. It adds this hauntingly sad atmosphere and really helps the work transcend a mere "woe is me" breakup song. Per Wiki:



The French horn solo was by Alan Civil, a British horn player described by recording engineer Geoff Emerick as the "best horn player in London".[6] During the session, McCartney pushed Civil to play a note that was beyond the usual range of the instrument. According to Emerick, the result was the "performance of his life."

Let it Be
Across The Universe
