Another vote for “And Your Bird Can Sing,” but I’d probably change my mind tomorrow! Dad raised me on these songs, and as a family we’d play and sing them. “You Know My Name” is fun, but I’d hate to lose out on, you know, having any lyrics to console me… 🙂 ---

It’s a dead heat between [And I Love Her](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96YQdiMV-Jc), and [I’ll Follow The Sun](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7DGPYzAvg). ---

I would pick **Guitar Gently Weeps (Best. Beatles. Ever.) A close second would be _the fast version_ of Revolution**. First hard rock song ever (or was The Kinks _You Really Got Me_ first?) ---

First hard rock song ever (or was The Kinks _You Really Got Me_ first?) _You Really Got Me_ is usually recognized as the godfather of heavy metal (and predates \*Revolution \*by 3 years). John Lennon claimed \*I Feel Fine \*was the first intentional feedback on a record. ---

Rock and Roll Music. Yes, I know it was a cover (and has been recovered by just about everyone) but I think the Beatles did it the best. ---

> [@Nars\_Glinley](#): > > Rock and Roll Music. Yes, I know it was a cover (and has been recovered by just about everyone) but I think the Beatles did it the best. Yeah, I love their version of **Money** , originally a Motown song co-written by Berry Gordy. I haven’t posted to this thread simply because the OP doesn’t compute. 😉 I suppose I could say that if I could only listen to one album it would be Revolver (including the single Rain, recorded at the same time), but don’t think I could narrow it down much further. But so many songs connect into the full Beatles’ tapestry - Lennon’s sturdy Dylan study Hide Your Love Away; Paul’s perfect melodies and chords for deep-cut numbers like Things We Said Today. Each song comes loaded. ---

Im amazed it took 20posts for Let It Be to turn up. My vote is for Norwegian Wood though. ---

I also vote for Norwegian Wood, with Ticket to Ride second. Ringo’s version of Good King Wenceslaslas on the Christmas Album has to be up there as well. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pick-the-only-beatles-song-you-can-ever-listen-to-again-ever/599239.md?page=5)
