Best Beatles' Songs?

The challenge I experience in this effort is choosing tunes that I myself would agree with tomorrow. One might plausibly select a few "best ever" Beatles tunes that would stand the test of time ("a list to last a lunchtime," as the Rutles might put it) -- but one's favorites surely vary with each new sun.

That said, here's today's list:

Happiness Is a Warm Gun

(She's Got the) Devil in Her Heart

Savoy Truffle

And Your Bird Can Sing (unreleased 'Anthology' take)

Lonesome Tears in My Eyes (BBC - 1963)

I've Got a Feeling

First of all - I love this question! By the time I was 3 years old, they were my favorite band (my parents were huge fans) and they've remained so year after year despite the wide range of music that I love and listen to incessantly. I agree with Jon that my list would be different tomorrow, but today's list is:

1. Dear Prudence

2. Blackbird

3. Golden Slumbers

4. Happiness is a warm gun

5. While My Guitar Gently weeps

I like the old ones

Let it Be

Hey Jude

Yesterday

Hard Day's Night

and my all time favorite - She Loves Me (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah).

Impossible question, I like "most" songs, but if you put a warm gun into my head, I'll throw a few

Girl

If I fell

the long and winding road

across the universe

it's only love

while my guitar gently weeps

something

I will

I'll follow the sun

don't let me down

dr. robert

tomorrow never knows

Norwegian Wood

nowhere man

someone stop me, I give up, too many that truly love

Well, as a fan of obscure and unusual music one of my favorite Beatles tunes has always been on that was originally released on the B-Side of the original Let It Be 45- "You Know My Name, Look Up the Number." Easily dismissed as a throwaway number, it's full of sly wit and is musically inventive.

Also have to go with George's magnum opus- While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Ballad of John & Yoko.

Yesterday- the older I get, the more true it is.

To cap off the list: I Am the Walrus- a great psychedelic anthem. The greatest band pushing the limits.

Paperback Writer

Nowhere Man

Rain

Strawberry Fields

I am the Walrus

but also maybe

Come Together

I want to add another one--Across the Universe--- which is also the name of a new movie coming out Sept 21 that includes covers on many Beatles' songs
