I have been mocked for my selections of the best track on each album: Please Please Me - Twist and Shout With The Beatles - You’v Really Got a Hold on Me ---

Well, for _Please Please Me_, I would have to go with the title track, but “Twist and Shout” is maybe #2 or #3. On _With the Beatles_, I don’t have one strong favorite… “You Really Got a Hold On Me” does showcase John’s voice well, but overall, I tend to like the originals better – sounds like you may be the opposite. ---

Americans should note that this represents the overseas albums, not the U.S.-released Capitol albums. I won’t mock you, **don’t ask** , for the terrible lack of taste in your selections 😃 , but surely the best tracks on those albums are “Ask Me Why” and “Don’t Bother Me.” ---

Oh this is _hard_! _Please Please Me_ - “Twist and Shout” (if only Beatles originals count, then “I Saw Her Standing There”) _With The Beatles_ - “All My Loving” _A Hard Day’s Night_ - title track _Beatles for Sale_ - “I’ll Follow the Sun” _Help!_ - “I’ve Just Seen a Face” _Rubber Soul_ - “If I Needed Someone”\* _Revolver_ - “Tomorrow Never Knows” _Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band_ - “Within You Without You” _The Beatles_ - “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” (also my overall favorite) _Let It Be_ - “Two of Us” _Abbey Road_ - “Oh! Darling” Extra credit: _Yellow Submarine_ - “Hey Bulldog” _Magical Mystery Tour_ - “Strawberry Fields Forever” Why yes, I do happen to like the psychedelic ones, why do you ask? \*This one definitely gave me the most trouble. Other candidates: “Nowhere Man”, “Norwegian Wood”, “In My Life”. ---

“Tomorrow Never Knows” getting a lot of love. That’s one song that gets less & less dated as time goes on. I love it. ---

> [@](#): > > Tomorrow Never Knows" getting a lot of love. That’s one song that gets less & less dated as time goes on. I love it. Yeah in many ways it was the first drum’n’bass song–30 years before anyone used that term. I always wished someone over the years would have reissued the song as a 12-inch single; the bass alone would probably knock you into the next room. ---
