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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

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