2. Hey Bulldog
3. In My Life
4. Eight Days A Week
5. Help!
6. Yellow Submarine
7. I've Just Seen a Face
8. She's A Woman
9. Ticket to Ride
10. If I Fell

I've been spamming 'Abbey Road' a lot for the anniversary and it feels utterly wrong that 'Because' isn't in my top 50 either. So I think imma have to kick another one out. That 'Moonlight Sonata'-esque production is sounding better than ever wub.gif I've been a superfan since I was about 15 and my favourites are still changing.

So, 'Abbey Road' top 5:

01. Here Comes The Sun
02. Something
03. Come Together
04. I Want You (She's So Heavy)
05. Because

All incredible and this is only my 4th favourite Beatles album *_* George really killed this one.

Btw round 1 of the survivor is now open: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=226674

I love Here, There And Everywhere too. Emmylou Harris did a great version which was a minor hit in 1976 too.


I'd never heard Emmylou's version of it until now, but yes, it is absolutely lovely.

I'm actually more surprised that someone would name "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" as one of their favourite Beatles songs. I mean, I do like it as a song, but it's not one that I thought someone would call their favourite. John Lennon hated that song, denouncing it as Paul McCartney's love of "granny music".

I didn’t know that it was possible to feel claustrophobic when listening to music... until I heard ‘Revolution 9’.

Whenever I've felt the need to go into a Beatles album it's often been that I'm drawn to their weirder ones, I guess.

also Maxwell's has a great rhythm and those lyrics are... fun.

Certainly is and should have been a much bigger hit. Think it reached No.22.

This is a bit off-topic Beatles AF when but it made me so happy to see 'Abbey Road' reclaiming the #1 spot all these years later for the 50th anniversary, plus being #2 in the midweeks for week 2 so far as well. Amazing! Their impact will forever be huge.

Agreed Jade. It's fantastic. I bought just remaster, just the single CD and sounds better than ever. Great album.

They're being used as one of the acts for the AF Idol spin-off, 'Eleanor Rigby' fans unite: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=243620

(Donna Summer too in terms of pre-2000s acts)

2. Hey Jude
3. Here Comes the Sun

So many good ones though - I am going to be working through their albums in time too now I have them all on my iTunes!

I used to think The Beatles were overrated until I saw what the charts were like before they came along. Also when I was younger I tended to hate anything that was popular. The best Beatles song for me would be "Tomorrow Never Knows". I think the term "ahead of its time" is overused, but this really was ahead of it's time.
