What are your top three Beatles songs of all time?*

Just goes to show the wide range and appeal of The Beatles- about half the songs listed above I regard as seriously sub standard. Some are just plain awful! Yet they're someone's favourite! Go Beatles!

 

I'm Looking Through You
In My Life
For No One

 

Hmm... Not in any particular order:

While My Guitar Gently Weeps
And I Love Her
Help

Tomorrow it may well be:

Something
I Saw Her Standing There
In My Life

 

I'm not a huge fan of their early work but I've always had a soft spot in my heart for this song because of that lovely outro.

 

Wonder what % of Beatles songs will be mentioned in this thread. As we already have Revolution 9 and You Know My Name, I think we may be heading for 100% of their core catalog.

 

Great choices. "Don't Bother Me" is pretty much the first "angst pop" song, very underrated.

 

And Your Bird Can Sing
I Am The Walrus
She Said She Said

 

Ticket to Ride: Sorry Byrds, but this is the ultimate jingle-jangle pop song.

I've Got a Feeling: The boys doing their "hippie soul" thing (w/ Billy P. in tow) and it just feels so right.

It's All Too Much: It's the ultimate psychedelic Beatles track and it's stuck on a "soundtrack" LP that many don't care about.

 

Nowhere Man
Taxman
Blue Jay Way

 

So today, it's these three:
"Rain"
"Don't Bother Me"
"Lovely Rita"

 

Her Majesty
Maggie May
Dig It

 

I saw what you did back there, innit

 

In no particular order:
- Strawberry Fields Forever
- In My Life
- Here, There & Everywhere

 

Can't honestly answer this, but I can say that these 3 are often in the top 5 or 10. But this changes weekly, daily, hourly depending on my mood! :

You Never Give Me Your Money
A Day in the Life
Old Brown Shoe

 

we can work it out
something
across the universe (original let it be version)

(i hope somebody's up for a compile task when all's said and done. ought to be the ultimate beatles poll)

 

The debate in my head could go on for quite awhile, but:
She Loves You
Nowhere Man
And Your Bird Can Sing

 

Free As A Bird
Real Love
Carnival of Light

 

Choices subject to change, but I really love these three.

Oh Darling
Your Mother Should Know
Don't Bother Me

 

1. Day Tripper - Still my number 1.
2. Here Comes The Sun - A beautiful evocative song.
3. I Want You(She's So Heavy) - Sometimes I just gotta have some Beatles with a little meat on the bone.

 

1. It's All Too Much
2. Tomorrow Never Knows
3. She's Leaving Home

Number 1 is easy but the next two were hard to pick.

 

By what I actually listen to, not to what I think is the "best" ones
1 Rain (pure heaven, the best B side EVER)
2 Hey Jude (I love listening to it just as a recording, how it starts simples and just builds and builds)
3 Dr Robert (or Dear Prudence, also a damn fine recording)

A runner up would be "Soldier of Love" , hard to just stick at three !!

 

I have a better chance of walking on the Moon than picking just three.

 

1: What's The New Mary Jane
2: You Know My Name Look Up The Number
3: Revolution 9

 

Savoy Truffle
And Your Bird Can Sing
I'm Only Sleeping

 

Strawberry Fields Forever
Penny Lane
Nowhere Man
Help (Tie for 3rd)
