    I'm going by year of release, not when they were recorded. Just name your personal top ten favorite Beatles' song from 66-67, one of their most fertile periods, that's why I just went with those two years.
    Anyway, here's my picks in descending order:
    10. She's Leaving Home
    9. Penny Lane
    8. I'm Only Sleeping
    7. And Your Bird Can Sing
    6. Paperback Writer
    5. Baby, You're A Rich Man
    4. Strawberry Fields Forever
    3. Rain
    2. Tomorrow Never Knows
    1. A Day In The Life

    I'll agree with 9 outta your 10

    "She's Leaving Home" ain't one of them.

    I agree with the OP's list, except Penny Lane would be #1. And I would dump She's Leaving Home.

    This is only 66 and 67. A bunch of your picks are 68 or 69. That might help you prune down your list. :D

    No particular order:
    1) A Day In The Life - Does it get any better than this?
    2) Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - Because it rocks!
    3) Fixing A Hole - Because I've done some repairs, too.
    4) Rain - Another rocker, love the bass line.
    5) Flying - A rare instrumental from the lads.
    6) Baby You're A Rich Man - I love the intro.
    7) She Said She Said - Best song on Revolver.
    8) And Your Bird Can Sing - I love the guitar line throughout.
    9) Tomorrow Never Knows - Just more Lennon being Lennon.
    10) I Am The Walrus - Surreal, close second to #1.

    I wanted to include Eleanor Rigby because there is nothing else like it in rock music and I just like the song a lot.

    I'm glad you broke out these two years alone. 1967 thru 1970 would have been very tough. I think Top 10 of 1968 should be next, then 1969 thru 1970. JMHO.

    I just realized I went by recording date instead of release date. I'll be back...got stuff to do...

    I think I'm going to take your suggestion. I like that better than putting all of 68, 69, and 70 together. I'll have it up the day after tomorrow. And thanks for the great idea of splitting those years up! :righton:

    I always want to do these lists. The problem is just when I've finally whittled it down to 10, and finally post it, someone else will post a list with a song that I've completely forgotten about and then I'll have to edit my list. You can't win, you see.
