Favorite Beatles Songs

[Obdazen]

Everybody loves the Beatles. What's your favorite song?

I've been listening to the White Album recently, so at the moment I really like Helter Skelter, Sexy Sadie, Yer Blues

Edit: We're not looking for best, we're looking for favorite.

I always had a soft spot for: Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!

I never really knew the tune, but we did an adaptation of it back in college and it just stuck with me

[Lomi]

I always really liked Elanore Rigby
and
When I'm sixty four.

[Striker]

they all suck! . . . in my opinion that is. But hell who gives what I think

I heard the most hilarious because its so horrible song by john Lennon today.
It was played on the Stern Show and is a john Lennon and Yoko Ono collabboration entitloed "woman is the nigger of the world". worst song ever. ruined my perception of Lennon forever

Though not the turn of phrase I would have used to get my point across I understand the meaning.

Woman is the N of the World
John Lennon


Woman is the n of the world
Yes she is...think about it
Woman is the n of the world
Think about it...do something about it

We make her paint her face and dance
If she won’t be slave, we say that she don’t love us
If she’s real, we say she’s trying to be a man
While putting her down we pretend that she is above us

Woman is the n of the world...yes she is
If you don’t belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Ah yeah...better screem about it

We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother then
We tell her home is the only place she would be
Then we complain that she’s too unworldly to be our friend

Woman is the n of the world...yes she is
If you don’t belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yeah (think about it)

We insult her everyday on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she’s young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb

Woman is the n of the world...yes she is
If you don’t belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yes she is...if you belive me, you better screem about it.

We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance

I censored the lyrics myself out of choice I just don't really like that word. Apparently it was a phrase Ono coined after an interview with a magazine. This was when people wanted to stand out and this really got her out there. It was banned from regular radio when it was released because of word choice. Theres a small wiki article about the song if anyones interested.


I also liked Shes Leaving Home

I've always been a fan of the second side of Abbey Road. The songs are all linked and kind of run together into one enjoyable listening experience.

So many songs though, it's kind of hard to choose. I have a full collection (every CD), so it's hard for me to choose just one. Its easier for me to give you general groups of songs: second side of Abbey Road is one of my favorites, second side of Revolver, first album of the White Album, various songs from Help! through Rubber Soul also get high marks from me. Too hard for me to narrow it down.

Speaking just about Lennon... Across the Universe, Feels like Starting Over, and Whatever Gets You Through the Night I think I could listen to those songs over and over.

Yeah Yellow Sub is one of Ringo's vocal appearances.
