Those Beatles Songs
There was a thing on CNN about what is your favorite Beatles song ... so ... what is your favorite Beatles song?
Mine ... probably Rain, but that can change with my mood.

from the odd start, to the clangy-clangy-clangy cowbell. It rules.

Blackbird
Cry Baby Cry
I even have versions that are more favorite than others. I really really love the version of Here comes the Sun that I have that was covered by Nina Simone.

Kind of a predictable choice, I know, but I really like that song. It was also the favorite of one of my daughters for a while. (That and "Eleanor Rigby.")

Else impossible to say. However, IMHO, 'Abbey Road' does have perhaps the best guitar sounds ever recorded (this statement gets repeated often, to anyone who will listen).
And I write this on the anniversary of the death of Jimi, who opened the doors for many of us (me included).

I'm very fond of Martha My Dear too, which seems like the quintessential McCartney Boy Genius song all classical allusions and music hall jollity..
Soon we'll be away from here, step on the gas and wipe that tear away...
Freebird!Okay, I'll behave for a change.
You Never Give Me Your Money is my favorite, but I can also make a case for:
Here There and Everywhere - a great love song, as is If I Fell.
Across The Universe is always amazing.
The riff from I Want You (She's So Heavy) is incredible.
A Day In The Life might be their crowning achievement; although not my favorite, it's still an incredible piece of work.

'Hey Bulldog' -- what a great piano intro, but it might also be the rariety of this getting airplay.

i was a beatles purist for two years, at age 13 and 14 (refused to listen to anything else, coincidentally this was around the time i started playing guitar and writing songs), and magical mystery tour was my first exposure to them, at age 3--the US LP, a gift from my grandfather, who found me something at an auction just about every Saturday.
my favorite changes from day to day; they're always in my head. right now i've got a jumble of everyone else's favorites that they've listed in comments all playing at once, which is really fun.
i'll say Your Mother Should Know and Blue Jay Way for today, because I can remember sitting on my bed as a tiny thing, playing the record over and over, having my wee mind warped thoroughly and by choice... I'm grateful to have been raised by fans who actually were around while the group was together, and all of them alive.

One of my favorites has always been Dear Prudence, and it would probably hit the top five if I could actually do one of those... which I doubt.
Great. Now I want to queue up all our Beatles and just relax and listen.

THAT should be your question: What is your LEAST favorite Beatles song?
