What is your favorite Beatles song (or two, or three...)? I'll start...My favorite has always been Across the Universe , but I also like Come Together and Eleanor Rigby... The Beatles have such a wide range of sounds, most people like at least something...
I've always been more of a Stones person, but I did like some Beatles tunes. "Helter Skelter" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" come to mind.
I almost posed this question as a 'Favorite Rolling Stones Song'...Mine would have been Under My Thumb...
@twitch It would have been "Gimme Shelter" for me.
Another good one...'When the Whip Comes Down' (from Steel Wheels) is also getting a lot of play (especially in my head) these days
How do you expect me to pick a favorite? That’s like trying to pick a favorite child!
Possibly Revolution #9
Changes often, but right now I'm on a Dear Prudence and I'm Only Sleeping rampage.
@orange_girl
me too. Been trying to learn it on guitar for a while now. Travis picking sucks!!
Across the Universe seems like a fine choice. I just like the Let It Be album I guess.
I can't say any are my absolute favorite, but a few that I can't resist from time to time, among many:
I always like "She's Leavign Home" and "Elonor Rigby"
For original stuff: Eleanor Rigby.
They redid a tune called 'I'll Follow the Sun" that I love!!
Eleanor Rigby is definitely up there. The Long and Winding Road, Rocky Racoon, A Day in the Life. I taught myself to play guitar with the Lennon McCartney Songbook. Someone made off with the guitar and my music books several years ago, I was devastated.
So sad to hear that. One of my favourite buskers in Canberra was burgled and lost his guitar.
"Come Together" and "When my guitar gently weeps" both because of George Harrison's guitar work.
@SACatWalker No shit? I did not know that. Not that it's a bad thing, Clapton being another of my favorite guitarists. But wow, this whole time I thought it was George playing that lead.
Too many to choose from. Let's see, In My Life, Golden Slumbers, Across the Universe, I am the Walrus, A Day in the Life, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Eleanor Rigby...
nice selection
Not a Beatle fan maybe because I grew up with them but Eleanor Rigby is a special blend. They were a special group and very talented that grew up to manhood... something stones never did.
