abbey road by a mile

01 Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

02 I Am The Walrus

03 Tomorrow Never Knows

 

Can't decide on a top one.

Something :wub:

Tomorrow Never Knows. Love the drums.

A Day In The Life, great song, great production - even a contemporary video on youtube!!

I'm Only Sleeping.

 

Kath

resurrecting this in light of their phenomenal compilation album, 1's recent re-release. :heart:

 

for me it has to be between:

1. hey jude

2. let it be

3. penny lane

 

all three are fantastic :wub:

Omg YES at other people going with 'Tomorrow Never Knows' as well! That has always been my favourite, such a mind blowing and ahead of its time coda to 'Revolver'. :wub: ('Here Comes The Sun' would follow closely behind, my fave band though - so many excellent moments.)

Tomorrow Never Knows :heart: Without which there would have been no Setting Sun (Chemical Brothers/Noel Gallagher)

 

I frequently hear people slag off the Fabs, often the sort of people who hate anything that gets hyped, as if being massively popular is in some way proof of being mass appeal + dumb and over-rated. Still the most important band ever, most influential band ever, most innovative band ever, most successful band ever :P In the world! British!!!

Where do I start with my favourite tracks!

 

Best album is Revolver - an absolute joy from start to finish.

 

Top tracks: I started off maybe doing a Top 10!

 

1. Eleanor Rigby - Beautiful beatiful song. I tend to go for Lennon's and Harrison's songs over Macca's but this is amazing.

2. Strawberry Fields Forever

3. Rain

4. I Am The Walrus

5. Helter Skelter

6. You've Got To Hide Your Love Away

7. Tomorrow Never Knows

8. Nowhere Man

9. She Said, She Said

10. Hey Bulldog

11. Because

12. Help!

13. A Day in the Life

14. Day Tripper

15. Do You Want to Know a Secret?

16. I Feel Fine

17. Only a Northern Song

18. Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite

19. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

20. Come Together

21. Within You, Without You

22. Across The Universe

23. I'm Only Sleeping

24. I Want You (She's So Heavy)

25. It's All Too Much

26. The Ballad of John and Yoko

27. Get Back

28. Hey Jude

29. Lady Madonna

30. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)

 

 

I used to love Hey Jude but Macca doing it live everywhere more recently has really put me off it a lot.

Is anyone interested in some kind of Beatles rate. Don't think we've ever done one.

for some reason i've never really seen the appeal of eleanor rigby, after hearing the original, unreleased version of the song on the nation's favourite the beatles' number one earlier this week, i think i would have preferred that version much more.

 

anyway i think you can put love me do and day tripper in my top three now in replace of hey jude and penny lane. :heart:

Tried to whittle a top 10 together, though it changes frequently:

 

1. Tomorrow Never Knows

2. Here Comes The Sun

3. You've Got To Hide Your Love Away

4. Strawberry Fields Forever

5. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)

6. Eleanor Rigby

7. I Am The Walrus

8. Across The Universe

9. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

10. Rain

 

Incredible. :wub:

I would be keen, been considering doing a Quickie rate for some time myself (as I did with Abba, top 5 fave tracks only in order), though wasnt sure enough people liked 5 tracks on BJ! :o I'd do a comprehensive rate but there would be rather a lot of 10's from me! :lol:

 

Re Hey Jude (and Let It Be) OD on TV in recent years, I try and block those performances from my mind and remember instead when they were new and fresh and moving. :o

I haven't heard all of their discography but some of my personal faves:

 

Come Together

I Feel Fine

She Loves You

Paperback Writer

Yesterday

Here There And Everywhere

Rain

A Day In The Life

In My Life

I'm Only Sleeping

I was thinking maybe people choose a top 5/10 and then the songs that are most frequently chosen we do a rate on the top 40.

 

It seems a bit rubbish to do a singles rate when so many well known tracks weren't released on 45.

Good to see love for Rain and Hey Bulldog - two of my favourites. I'd put the majority of Magical Mystery Tour ahead of most other Beatles tunes.
