The more songs people name the more impossible this becomes! My heart goes out to “For no one” but for some inexplicable reason I want to say “And Your Bird Can Sing.” It’s just so BOUNCY. And I have fond childhood memories of it being in the corny Beatles TV cartoon. (Does anyone remember that? I think it _might_ have been a Rankin/Bass production.) ---

Probably Dear Prudence but I don’t listen to much Beatles. ---

Tomorrow Never Knows (She Said She Said or Rain come close. You can see I like what John was up to in '66.) (Come to think of it, he seems to have brought out the best in Ringo that year, too.) ---

I think I would go for “For No One”. Part of it is that falling bass line of the chords and part is that simple mix of upbeat music and downtrodden lyrics. ---

Just reading all of these selections makes choosing one impossible. I’d almost rather have none and rely on my memory. ---

While My Guitar Gently Weeps has been my fave Beatles song for a long, long time, so it’s a fairly simple choice for me, even if it means leaving such a massive collection of fantastic music behind. ---

Eleanor Rigby. Not only is it my favorite, but the way the molded the musical ending has a universality to it that just invites you to listen to it again. ---

Wouldn’t be that hard for me, since there aren’t that many Beatles songs I like. “Eleanor Rigby” is my favorite. I’d miss “Yesterday,” but I’d get over it. ---

“No Reply” It takes me right back to youth. Quintessential early Beatles harmony. ---
