    Favourite Beatles song.
    Probably been done a million times.

    Mine are (in no particular order):

    Ticket To Ride.
    Eleanor Rigby.
    All My Loving.
    A Hard Day's Night.
    Tell Me Why.
    I'll Be Back
    Get Back.
    I Want To Hold Your Hand.

    I could go on but I'd be here all night.

    I love Ticket to Ride, Octopus's Garden and Hey Jude. It's hard to choose just one!

    Re: Favourite Beatles song.
    I take this question seriously and I have heard all of their albums:

    Paperback Writer
    I saw her standing there
    If I needed someone
    Think for yourself
    Taxman
    She Said She Said
    A Day in the Life
    Magical Mystery Tour
    Blue Jay Way
    I am the walrus
    Baby you're a rich man
    Back in the USSR
    Martha my dear
    Oh Darling!
    Any choice from side 2 of Abbey Road e.g. Sun King
    Across the universe
    Free as a bird

    As you may tell I am a Harrison fan (and have little or no time for the general public's blind adoration of most of McCartney's sentimental anthems, no matter how catchy they may be). Even so I have generally picked some of his less well known numbers rather than Something or While my guitar gently weeps which are good but not 'Beatles' enough for me.

    I love all the above songs which are all of superb merit with none necessarily superior to the others. I'd love to pick Blue Jay Way, which divides opinion but which I think is Harrison's - and The Beatles- most haunting, mystical beautiful, song. However to pick one that matches genius with being well known, I pick I am the walrus which features some exceptional sound effects and is a great example of Lennon's lyrical wordplay.

    Re: Favourite Beatles song.
    I'm only going to pick one song because if you asked me to name my "favourites" I'd probably end up listing every Beatles song ever :p:

    But that one song is Let It Be which is simply amazing :love:

    Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
    Ticket to Ride.
    In My Life.
    Eleanor Rigby.
    Come Together.
    Strawberry Fields Forever.
    Love Me Do.
    Hard Days Night.
    With a Little Help from my Friends.
    Hello Goodbye.
    When Im SixtyFour.
    Hey Bulldog.

    Managed to Narrow it down to 12! theres plenty more though! Can't pick one from these.. I tried and couldn't!

    EDIT: I sorta love taxman, but only because of the bassline.. I much prefer The Jam - Start, which uses the same bassline.

    I can't pick one for the life of me, and that's the honest truth. I just love every song so much. Some days I feel like listening to Anytime At All on repeat, while other days I'd prefer something a little slower.

    Saying that - if I ever had a wedding ceremony, Something would be my wedding song. :love:

    I'm a Harrison fan too. I love 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' but I never class it as a Beatles. It's George's song to me. I agree about Paul singing Hey Jude/Let It Be like national anthems even though they are amazing songs. I wonder if him and Ringo, as the surviving Beatles, would even sing some of the Beatles back catalogue together? I'd love to see it happen.

    So many great songs to choose from, and probably one of those things that changes depending on what mood your in!

    Couple less obvious really like are:
    I'm Looking Through You (the whole Rubber Soul album is great!)
    A Day In The Life
    In My Life
    Fixing A Hole
    I'm Only Sleeping
    Lady Madonna
    When I'm 64

    Eleanor Rigby. I first heard this song at a family party and that is what began my love for The Beatles. 2nd: Help. 3rd: She Loves You.
