ngl i've never rated the beatles in my life. just never appealed to me at all. think i agree with here comes the sun as my fav tho. i like come together but i prefer MJ's version much better. and i used to like hey jude but now it's just that song paul just performs at the end of any set he does and it's just over done boring and predictable now

I back that up *.*
I think my top 10 is: 01. Eleanor Rigby 02. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds 03. Let It Be 04. Yellow Submarine (*__) 05. Yesterday 06. Here Come the Sun 07. Tomorrow Never Knows 08. Hello Goodbye 09. We Can Work It Out 10. All You Need is Love It's srsly stunning listening to their stuff and seeing it's from the 1960s, you simply don't get innovation like that in the mainstream these days. Eleanor Rigby is such a heartbreaking and beautiful track, to get such lyrical and instrumental weight in such a short span of time is a testement to how good they were. I must say though, I can take or leave pretty much everything before Rubber Soul, some of their earlier ones particularly just annoy me! Drugs were for the best in this case x |

My favourites are "Here, There & Everywhere", as I love that ascending melody, and "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight" (technically two seperate songs, but I have to listen to them together).

I don't have a ranking but I am very fond of this lot:
A Day In The Life A Hard Day's Night Across the Universe Back in the USSR Come Together Day Tripper Don't Let Me Down Eleanor Rigby Get Back Here Comes the Sun Here, There and Everywhere Hey Jude I Am The Walrus I Feel Fine In My Life Lady Madonna Let It Be Norwegian Wood Paperback Writer Revolution Something Strawberry Fields Forever The Ballad of John and Yoko The Fool On The Hill The Long and Winding Road Ticket To Ride Tomorrow Never Knows We Can Work It Out While My Guitar Gently Weeps Within You, Without You Yesterday I have quite a lot of their albums also but I've never taken the time to familiarise myself with them really... |

My favourite song would be The Long And Winding Road followed by A Day In The Life. I also like She's Leaving Home,Eleanor Rigby and Yesterday.
I listened to all their albums for the first time on youtube a few years ago. They weren't on Spotify then. I should really listen to them again. I liked what I heard of the later albums. |

Much of yours would mirror mine actually - I've been hoping to sort out a Beatles Quickie Rate (along with Madonna, PSB's and others) soon as I get free time so this could almost be the thread to get folk thinking in readiness. Here Comes The Sun is far and away the most popular Beatles track in the 21st century - which is odd cos in the 20th century it wasn't even in the running, it was Hey Jude, Let It Be and Yesterday, the latter the most played song of the century. I rate lots of non-singles like Tomorrow Never Knows, Fool On The Hill, You've Got To Hide Your LOve Away and many many more - cos they are of course my fave act of all-time. Changed everything!

Hooray for the approval! I ended up making a playlist for my top 50 last night and it's all I've been listening to for walking to and from work today! I would be here for any other rates/games in the future by the way *.* will start with the aforementioned survivor tomorrow. (I'm also pleased about the rise in popularity for 'Here Comes The Sun' - such a beautiful and hopeful song  ) Radio 2 has a mammoth amount of programming over the next 4 days (44 shows  ) to celebrate the 50th anniversary of 'Abbey Road', starting at 9:30am tomorrow!Here's the schedule: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07ktp01/b...dcasts/upcoming So much to digest there!! I'm particularly looking forward to the chart related stuff. Will catch what I can although all 44 may be a big ask

Well my favourite album is Revolver so most songs come from that:
For No One Dr Robert I'm Only Sleeping Got To Get You Into My Life Here, There and Everywhere Eleanor Rigby Other songs I love - Fool on the Hill Hello Goodbye Paperback Writer I'm Looking Through You While My Guitar Gently Weeps Piggies Strawberry Fields Forever And I Love Her Things We Said Today To be honest - it would be easier to list the Beatles songs that I dislike! |

I've always been more of a Paul McCartney solo fan - but my fave Beatles song is Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - I will make a top 10 of both soon

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

Already having list regrets as I forgot about 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' - the guitar work in that song is stunning
 They have too many songs, a top 50 simply isn't enough
