[Bishka]

I'm a huge Beatles fan, but Yesterday is my favorite song because it was during a laser shower in Seattle, during that song that my husband proposed to me.

Imagine

(by John Lennon)

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
Nowhere below us
Above only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

That's an impossible question. They did so many songs that are each great in their own right. They did whole albums that are great, even. It just wouldn't be right to choose one over the others.

Let It Be

Of the ones listed I'd have to go with "Blackbird". I'm of the simpler is better school. Its one of thoses songs I find myself singing constantly.

That's my favorite, too. I think of my son awakening from autism when I hear it.

"Can't by me love" my favorite song! A good old rock n roll song, and quite easy to understand, no cryptic artsy fartsy language. Before they became hippies.

But for the personal connection with "Blackbird" that would be my first choice.

What's wrong with the deeper meaning of some of their songs?

 

[McBell]

In My Life

There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All this places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
In my life-- I love you more

 

[YmirGF]

Hmmmm. Very, very hard to say, but none of the ones on the poll for me, lol.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Strawberry Field Forever, Long long long, Revolution (45 version), While my guitar gently weeps, Helter Skelter, I want you (she's so heavy), It's all too much, Hey Bulldog... All you need is love... Blue Jay way... Within you, without you. Savoy truffle.

I can't pick... but if you asked for one only.... *Sigh*

A day in the Life.


Yeah... I'd love to "turn you on".

Sorry, not a Beatles song.

"Can't by me love" my favorite song! A good old rock n roll song, and quite easy to understand, no cryptic artsy fartsy language. Before they became hippies.

I've never had a problem understanding their lyrics. In fact, the 'cryptic artsy fartsy' songs, like 'I Am the Walrus' are amoung my absolute favourites.

'In My Life' is an awesome pick, Mestemia. I think I'll go with 'Fool on the Hill,' or 'A Day in the Life.'

Edit to add: Any Beatles fan who has not yet purchased their newest cd 'Love,' do so! It's awesome!

That's what I thought as soon as I read the thread title....but, at least she narrowed it down. It's still hard though. Come on, Dave! Don't be a poop head....pick one!

On the list above I would have to pick, The Long and Winding Road. Still makes me cry.

Sorry, not a Beatles song.

I "Imagine" it's close enough for me!

I own it! My mum got it for my husband for Christmas, but my husband is a purist, he only likes the orignials.

The Abby Road album is amazing, the whole thing, but one of my favorites on it us: "I Want You (She's So Heavy)".

I suppose there are few here with appreciation for pre hippi Rock n Roll, you know from the 50's and early 60's. Oh well, I am one of them. The earlier beetles are definately the best. You don't have to get stoned or take an art appreciation class to try to figure out what they mean. I can only imagine some hippie smoking a dooby and saying "Ohhh Mannnnn, cooooool, I am the Walrus is soooo deep, they just don't get it!!" Vietnam is over Hippies, get over it. Get off drugs, and take a bath. Oh Yeah and eat NON-organic food! LOL!!!!

Seroiusly though this generations music is far worse than hippie music!

"Let it be" dudes!
