Strawberry Fields Forever, with I am the Walrus a very close second. Tied for third: She Said, She Said, Hey Bulldog, Dig a Pony, Tomorrow Never Knows, It's All Too Much, Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite, Cry Baby Cry, Rain...and probably 50 more.

Tomorrow Never Knows- musique concrete with a groove a lot of music is based on this concept.
Ticket To Ride- Droning bass sound, jangle sound with a broken drum sound
 
Some proggish songs  I like
 
Love You To
A Day in the Life
Eleanor Rigby
I Want You She So Heavy
Because
The Abbey Road Medleys

Maybe this one: Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite,

Or one of these:

Piggies
A day in life,
She's leaving home
Flying
Mother Nature's Son
Happiness is a warm gun,
I Am the Walrus
Tomorrow never knows
Girl
Elenor Rigby
Within without you
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Norwegian Wood

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Wow, what a question!

Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, Yesterday, Long and Winding Road, Across the Universe, Two of Us

Just off the top of my head, but those 6 always crumble my heart. 

Happy new year!

The top one for me is easy: Strawberry Fields Forever
Truly a classic
Though "Love You To", and "Fixing a Hole" are criminally underrated

Good Day Sunshine...its music alone can brighten my day. The playful piano flourish at the end of each phrase, and the melodic harmonies are just my favorite thing the Beatles ever did. I'm going to go listen to it as soon as I'm done with this.

Skwisgaar Skwigelf: taller than a tree.

Toki Wartooth: not a bumblebee.

1st. strawberry fields forever
2nd. tomorrow never knows, penny lane (love the brass), money, within without you, I m only sleeping, Here comes the sun, rain, happiness is a warm gun, piggies, sexysadie, glass onion, savoy truffle, come together, Helter Skelter,  twist and shout (love their cover),  All I've got to do, A day in life, being for the benefit of Mr. Kite, Sun king, Hey Bull dog, Dig a pony, Revolution 9... too many
3rd. I can say the only songs I don't like too much is "She's leaving home" and "til' there was you."

 
How can I speak when I'm dry and my throat is burning?

LOL

Looks like we share a few music tastes!  I definitely couldn't pick a favourite Beatles song...no more than I could pick a favourite Zeppelin song or Beethoven or John Coltrane song.  And I'd kind of rather not try either because that forces your ear almost...I just love listening to them all openly and appreciating something new everytime.

Now, that said, there are some Beatles tunes I really don't like...but here's not the place Wink
