No one's done The Beatles yet? I guess that might cause too much arguing on these forums

I'll try it... Presenting my favourite tracks (at the moment) from the official Beatles releases as they exist now:

Twist and Shout (PPM)
All My Loving (WtB)
Any Time at All (AHDN)
No Reply (BFS)
Help! (Help!)
In My Life (RS)
For No One (Revolver)
A Day in the Life (Sgt. Pepper)
Strawberry Fields Forever (MMT) [I Am the Walrus if only allowed to choose from the EP]
Dear Prudence (The Beatles)
All You Need is Love (Yellow Submarine)
Oh! Darling (AR)
I Me Mine (LIB)

Most of those were actually pretty easy... The hardest were a couple of the early albums and the White Album.

 

Oh, fun!

EDIT: This is too hard! I love 95% of Randy's tracks equally, but what the heck - I'll go from memory and see what my mind sings first.

Randy Newman

I Think He's Hiding (S/T)
Mama Told Me (Not to Come) (12 Songs)
Simon Smith and His Amazing Dancing Bear (Sail Away)
A Wedding in Cherokee County (Good Old Boys)
Short People (Little Criminals)
Ghosts (Born Again)
I Love LA (Trouble in Paradise)
Falling in Love (Land of Dreams)
Can't Keep a Good Man Down (Faust)
Shame (Bad Love)
Only a Girl (Harps and Angels)

Wow - some were the legitimate "hits". Not saying they're "better" - just popped into my mind first.

And the winner of favorite song from a movie (and there are a LOT): I Love to See You Smile (Parenthood)

Jeff
