I love all their songs, I think I know most of them by heart.

My favourite is the second side of Abbey Road, with Golden Slumbers/Carry that
Weight/The End.

I like a lot their early covers: "Twist & Shout", "Roll over Beethoven", "Long Tall Sally"...
I've always dug  "Get Back", "I'm Down" and "Revolution".

But the real question: Is there any Beatles song I don't like?

Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - the entire album should be listened to as one long song

Depends on what misfits your talking about?  Who is the lead singer?  Danzig, Graves, or gay arse only?

I think I'd have to agree with you.

Danzig of course.. But I don't think Jerry Only's THAT  bad, afterall, he's been there from the very beginning, and at least has kept the group going. But i do wish they would do a reunion tour next year.

Once upon a time (I forget just when, but it's been more than a decade) the Beatles had some studio stuff released that you can't find on any albums.  Mosty rough cuts, or studio things they played around with.

It might have been called "Sessions", but I 4get.

Anyhoo I happened to hear the original version of "While my guitar gently weeps" in which George had just wrote the song, and it was just him with an acoustic, and one guy in the studio doing the recording.

It was amazing.  One of the first songs that I have heard with THAT much power in it.  

Probably my fav. version of one of my fav. songs.

And how could I forget "Tomorrow Never Knows". 90's electronica straight from the 60's, must have blown a few minds back in the day...

Too many diverse songs for me to pick one.  Would depend on my mood.
Best album, depending on my mood, would be Sgt. Peppers, or Abbey Road.  Abbey Road, as it has a poignant meaning behind it.

When I see "Let it be" and "Revolution" picked, I have to ask, "Which Beatle version?".  Then follow with, "How many know there are two distinct cuts of each of those songs?".

Lute on the the Beatles anthology (3 different Albums, 8 different CD's) they have a lot of rough edits and such. Including "While my Guitar Gently Weeps". A must have for any beatles fan.

I remember when my Father was in a Barbershop Quartet they sang that song.
didnt do a half bad job on it either

thing is He Hated the Beatles. Wasnt real fond of Rock & Roll as a whole
I remembe whe they decided to do the song he was driving me nuts wanting me to produce the record I had of it so he could learn it.

Damn near grounded me for a record I didnt have.

"Dont tell me you dont have that God ()@@(@ song You've friven menuts with the )@)%(@ thing enough."

"Dad, Im telling you I dont have that record"

"Find the #(*@@_! thing"

LMAO

So many Beatles songs just kick arse, I could never pic just one.

Some people bag on the Beatles, yet the Beatles defined modern music in many ways that a lot of people don't seem to understand. They were and are the defining image of musical success and nobody has come remotely close to their influence or success since.

Being a musician, I can appreciate them and am just in awe of what they did. Some people say that the Beatles just wrote a bunch of pop ear candy.....yet, how many Beatle songs can be played on guitar by anyone and still sound like a good representation of the original song?

The chords, instruments, harmonies are not just average stuff.......even the early records.

Definitely side two of Abbey Road -Must be taken as a whole.  McCartney was (is) just as much of a genius as Lennon. This is a fitting swan song to a brilliant career.
"Dear Prudence" -Written for Mia Farrow's sister while they were studying meditation in India.
"A Day in The Life" -The crescendo is one of the highlights of popular music and the "chord that last forever" is awesome.

How can you pick just one?

my favorite Beatles song... sheesh, that's tough, I enjoy so much of their music. My favorite song title regardless of the music contained in the song is Everybody Has Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey!

Skuzzy, at least with Revolution they titled them differently (Revolution, Revolution 1, Revolution 9). Let It Be, the single is titled the same as the album cut. :)

Atta boy Nifty.  Most people are aware of the various Revolution cuts, but few are aware of the two different "Let it Be" cuts.

Never thought much of George as a lead guitar player, but he did nail that lead on the better version of "Let it Be".
