Beatles music has been playing for more than fifty years. Their songs are as relevant today as they were in the 1960’s. As an avid Beatles fan, I am always interested in what others consider their best song. I’ll start by saying “All You Need is Love” is my personal favorite. They have so many wonderful songs so I know this post won’t dissappoint!   Kathy T.

        Agree, almost, Hoya, but for me it's "Don't Let Me Down" (rooftop performance) ...

          "Let It Be"--such a sincere, prayerful and comforting song

            Too many great songs to choose only one. Dear Prudence, I am the Walrus, Baby Your a Rich Man and all the takes of Strawberry Fields Forever come to mind. Usually whatever I’m listening to is my favorite. A Day In The Life is probably the song I listen to most often.

              As I posted before, “All you need is love” is my absolute go to, cheer me up, make me

              smile and sing song. Just makes my day

              to hear it! I truly love all their songs, but

              some more than others.The genius

              collaboration that was Lennon/McCartney

              is a rare and amazing thing. I feel blessed

              to have their music in my life still!!

                Where do you start? It's a great body of work. Almost sacreligious to pick 2 or 3.

                I mostly like the ones with the least overdubs, where they play as pure rock 

                quartet. 1.) Back in the USSR-just two guitars, harmony vocals, punchy rhythm section  

                work by Paul/bass, Ringo/drums.

                2.) Helter Skelter-for basically the same reasons.

                I suggest you all get a copy of The Beatles Naked. No strings or fills. Just them.

                I think their whole catalog is utterly fabulous, I could have any of them. I just happen

                to like these two for that reason.

                  I threw a couple of Beatles parties at the library I worked at.  At one of the parties, my guest speaker was a professor of music who talked about how really very good the Beatles were at song composition.  He cited "A Day in the Life" and "She's Leaving Home" as examples of excellence.

                    I love all the Beatles songs but the first one of I think of is the song my husband and I called "Our" song when we first began going steady 48 years ago. The song was With a Little Help From My Friends. Still love it! Tres

                      We can all agree picking one song is impossible. But if you twist my arm I'll go with side 2 of Abbey Road beginning with Mean Mr Mustard and ending with

                      Her Majesty.

                       

                       

                      Need to shine these up a bit.

                            Just saw this on YT:

                             

                             

                            Can't believe Sir Ringo just turned 79 and Sir Paul 77! 

                            Peace and Love!

                              I'm just glad there's 2 still here to show us how great a group they actually were.
                              They really kicked off the entire the British Rock Invasion. Great song writing,
                              playing, and vocals. Let's not forget the Fifth Beatle: Sir George Martin who's
                              production and arrangement values made for many memorable recordings.
                              I know those not physically present, are jammin' in heaven.

                                As many before me have expressed...how is it possible to say which Lennon/McCartney composition is the best? Their vast catalog has already, and will continue, to hold up to the test of time...IT'S JUST THAT COMPREHENSIVELY MULTI-GENERATIONAL. Having said that...these are among my very favorite:

                                 

                                While My Guitar Gently Weeps.....a magnificent bluesy lead primarily by Eric Clapton captures me

                                Here Comes The Sun.....an uplifting effect on me

                                Revolution.....you say you want one?

                                 

                                 

                                Peace and Love
