One of my early favorites. Love the chord changes and harmonies in that.

22

Not a big Beatles fan but I’ll say…

23

Tomorrow Never Knows
A Day in the Life
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
Strawberry Fields Forever
For No One
You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away
Eleanor Rigby
I’ve Just Seen A Face
Revolution
We Can Work It Out

Man, “I Am The Walrus”, “In My Life”, “Got To Get You Into My Life”, “Penny Lane”, “Rain”, “Help!”, “She Said She Said” - all could have made the cut.

24

That was Wings, not Beatles.

25

In no particular order:

Eleanor Rigby (especially the strings only version from the Anthology)
Come Together
Strawberry Fields Forever
Ticket To Ride
Paperback Writer
A Day in the Life
Hey Jude

Those are just the ones off the top of my head. As others have said, I could easily have named a completely different bunch.

26

To be incredibly nitpicky, that was credited to Paul and Linda. Wings didn’t happen until later in 1971 with Wild Life.

27

Yesterday
Here There & Everywhere

28

That’s not incredibly nitpicky to a Beatles fan like me. In fact, I’m ashamed of myself!

29

THIS! I have so many that I love, I guess I can add to the mix

GIRL
IF I FELL
FOOL ON THE HILL
LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS
BACK IN THE USSR
LOVELY RITA
IN MY LIFE
SOMETHING
MICHELLE
YESTERDAY
HERE COMES THE SUN

30

Hide Your Love Away
Across The Universe
Penny Lane
Twist and Shout
If I Fell

Norwegian Wood
I Feel Fine
She Said She Said
Girl
Love Me Do

And because a list of ten isn’t enough…

Tomorrow Never Knows
Magical Mystery Tour
In My Life
Things We Said Today
Dr. Robert
It’s All Too Much
Because

That’s still not enough, but I’ll stifle myself now. (And it confirms what I suspected: I preferred Lennon over McCartney.)

31

Fab Five:

I Am the Walrus
In My Life
Because
A Day in the Life
Abbey Road medley

HM:

Helter Skelter
The Fool on the Hill
Tomorrow Never Knows
I Want You (she’s so heavy
Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!

This is hard! There are so many I left out.

32

Cool! I thought I was weird for liking “Got To Get You In To My Life” so much!

I don’t think I can whittle it down to 5. I don’t even think I could pick a favorite album. I grew up on such a steady diet of their music that every song means something to me.

33

Tomorrow Never Knows
It’s All Too Much
Within You, Without You
What’s The New Mary Jane
Love You Too

HM
The Inner Light
Hey Bulldog
Strawberry Fields
Revolutoin #9
Helter Skelter

34

It’s great to find someone else with the love for It’s All Too Much. I thought I was the only one. Have you heard the long version?

P. S. It’s Love You To. I’ve always loved that title. I’d love you to… what?

35
  1. Here Comes the Sun
  2. Eleanor Rigby
  3. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
  4. Hard Day’s Night
  5. Penny Lane
36

Yeah!! At over 8 minutes they certainly jam/chug it out! Speaking of jams, I dream they’ll someday release the full 20+ minute take of Helter Skelter that’s supposed to exist. Supposedly they’re freaking out pretty heavily on it.

Ah! That gives it a totally different feel.. Kinda like “Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You”. Show you what???

37

I’d like to hear the full 20 minute Carnival Of Light. I remember Paul McCartney saying it might appear on the Anthology series - but it never did.
