Favourite Beatles song

[Strangelight]

The Night Before or Across The Universe

 

[Crack Hitler]

One of the faves is the one theme that goes through Abbey Road. "you never give me your money" ain't it? "carry that weight".

 

[Falconspirit]

I am the Walrus

Let it be, Across the Universe

 

[siderea]

across the universe and here comes the sun
and happiness is a warm gun

 

[PY]

while my guitar gently weeps acoustic version, eleanor rigby, i want you she's so heavy, across the universe...

 

[Ivo]

strawberry fields forever

 

[cedarbreed]

Me faves are Helter Skelter, While my guitar... , Eleanor Rigby, Back in the USSR and The Long and Winding Road ( is it a Beatles or a Wings song this one ? )

 

[SoundMaster]

too many awesome tunes...make the choice tough, but....I'd go with:

And I Love Her
Something
Strawberry Fields
Across the Universe


(good to see that so many people here cite Across the Universe)

 

[Bastet]

i remember a song i used to like a lot, but i don't know the title. it's about a girl that ran away from home.

 

[pagan2002]

hard to say cos they are both brilliant and both different. the night before, that was my instant reaction, across the universe though, the words and that...i'd say it might be a dead heat

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

i like 'help'. im a proper beatles-ignorant bastard tho.

 

[pagan2002]

the final chord at the end of anthology 3 makes me think they were the best band ever..

 

[Achernar]

Across the Universe is the nicest IMO.

 

[Feanor IV]

@Bastet: You mean "She's Leaving Home" from sgt. peper's.... I suppose

Well, how can you say which is the best Beatles song? They are so different, there's such variety in their work, I can't even compare the songs. But a few would be "Across The Universe", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Golden Slumbers".......

But I like their early songs as well: "I'm Happy just to Dance with You", "The Night Before", "It's Only Love", "You're Going To Lose That Girl", "Another Girl", "Girl" (all the "girl"s, in a few words) and most of Harrison's songs.

BTW, "Across The Universe" has the best connection between lyrics and music in the rock history, in my opinion. UNBELIEVABLE!

 

[Susie]

well i prefer the older stuff, so it would have to be , This Boy,

 

[rafael]

wait

 

[Ivo]

lucy in the sky with diamonds - one of the greatest songs

 

[Bambi]

i havent listened to the beatles since i was a kid so its almost like nursery rhymes to me now, plus i heard the lyrics all wrong as a nipper. I got whacked once by me da for listening to Hey jude over and over with me little bro'. the silly little ballix was so moved by it after the tenth time that he started crying so me da presumed i upset him and twatted me for it fucking beatles.

i reckon fool on the hill is the best song i know. or across the universe

 

[Allan]

Don't know much about the Beatles, but I was really in to "We Can Work It Out" a couple of years ago.

 

[Feanor IV]

"We Can Work It Out" is a great song!
