For me, it's a flip up between "Hey Jude" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXG83p2nkHw and "Imagine" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMrktcgAmcUIn a strange Beatles mood today. Must be the weather.

This will show My age, but I remember seeing the Beetles on the Ed Sullivan Show. Pop music changed that night. I think they did "I Wanna Hold Your Hand." When they returned to Ed Sullivan later on, I sat down excitedly to see and hear their next song. It was in their psychedelic period, and they were in a "video" sent from England, performing "Strawberry Fields Forever." Very psychedelic, with nighttime shots and piano wire in trees. Since I was still a little kid, I looked at My older sister and did a "wtf?"
I'd say My favorite song of theirs is "A Day In The Life". I love the 100 pianos they used, all at once, for the final chord.

"A day in the life" - great tune too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZez_k4vAzUNot heard "While my guitar gently weeps" before C2c - thanks for that - tracked it down as well - not much you can't find on youtube these days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7qpfGVUd8c

Btw, friends, did you know there's an online utility that will convert Youtube videos into MP3s? I've used it and it works well. http://vixy.net/

Tricky question. Norwegian Wood, Ticket to ride stick in my mind, but Eleanor Rigby probably takes it for me. "Imagine" was John Lennon only I think

"Ticket to ride".

Plow, you can also use it to convert it to an .avi file and keep it as your very own. I like to do that with concert/music vids, line 'em up in a playlist with My favorite player, and enjoy a whole personal "concert".

For me, it's "Let it Be" but the naked version, not the original. I know it's overplayed, but listening to that song is almost a religious experience for me.

'In My Life' is my favourite. Closely followed by 'Don't Let Me Down'.

Too many to name. Of their early stuff, I like "I saw her standing there" Of their later stuff, I like "The Long and winding road"

God, there are so many and for so many different reasons. I remember watching them on Ed Sullivan, too. I'll have to say two - "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "In My Life".

I'm not sure I could pick a favorite album, much less song. The wife-unit, who attended the Beatles concert in Shea Stadium (upper level WAY behind third base--you can't miss her) back in '65, has always liked, Till There Was You. My fav from that concert was "Twist and Shout. Rumple Foreskin

Can't name 1 great song, just too many of them. But this here has to be my greatest pic of the greatest band in music.

Charlie_Brown wrote:Can't name 1 great song, just too many of them. What a cop-out, Chuck! You think the rest of us only like one Beatles song? It was all I could do to not toss 20 out at once. Since you threw out the Abbey Road cover photo, give us one from that album.
