Impossible to pick just one, but “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” is very close to the top. ---

Seems I might be one of the few here with my pick: Get Back…a nice rockin’ tune. ---

For music, A Day in the Life. For sentiment, Across the Universe. [QUOTE=Daddypants] Impossible to pick just one, but “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” is very close to the top. [/QUOTE] I used to not like that song until I saw a video of Prince covering it at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For some reason it took [that cover](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y) for me to see its genius. ---

After reviewing the video, I must also note that Prince’s solo at the 4:00 mark is the moment I realized he is a god. ---

> [@Daddypants](#): > > Impossible to pick just one, but “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” is very close to the top. I’m leaning that way also. Hard to pick just one, but it’s probably a George song. ---

OK, so it’s not Mean Mr. Mustard. My favorites, which rotate with the earth’s orbit, usually consist of lesser-known gems such as: Here, There, and Everywhere For No One This Boy Things We Said Today And today (and many, many other days): **I Should Have Known Better** mmm ---

> [@Art\_Rock](#): > > It’s often mentioned as their worst, but I love it: She’s leaving home. > > Runners up would be A day in the life, Blackbird, The ballad of John and Yoko, Eleanor Rigby and so many others. And I love to do Back in the USSR at Karaoke nights. Is She’s Leaving Home really mentioned as their worst? Some people have no taste. That song is probably in my top ten. Favorites for each are: John - Tomorrow Never Knows Paul - Fool on the Hill George - I Me Mine Ringo - Octopus’s Garden ---

Tomorrow Never Knows I’m in a small minority, but I stick by my choice. Still sounds ahead of the time. ---
