Ten doesn't seem enough. So I picked 5 each from Lennon, McCartney and Harrison. In no particular order.... Harrison While My Guitar Gently Weeps Within You Without You Something Love You to Here Comes the Sun Lennon Tomorrow Never Knows Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite I am the Walrus Help! Strawberry Fields McCartney Eleanor Rigby Blackbird I've Just Seen a Face Let It Be Helter Skelter ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

It is a difficult one. I feel like I want to squeeze almost a third of their entire work into that list. But I will give it a go anyway. Am I
supposed to make a top 10 with a 10th place, 9th place and so on, or
just pick ten songs in no particular order? So, in no particular order: Yesterday In My Life Eleanor Rigby For No One Strawberry Fields Forever A Day In the Life I Am the Walrus Hey Jude Come Together Something But many other songs could easily have fit in. All these songs are painfully left out: And I Love Her Things We Said Today Help! We Can Work It Out Norwegian Wood Taxman Tomorrow Never Knows Penny Lane Getting Better Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kte The Fool On the Hill Happiness Is A Warm Gun I'm So Tired Blackbird Long Long Long Revolution 9 (!) I Want You (She's So Heavy)

1. Strawberry Fields Forever (my absolutely fave Beatles song and will always be!!) 2. Tomorrow Never Knows 3. a Day In the Life 4. Across the Universe 5. Dear Prudence 6. Because 7. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) 8. Paperback Writer 9. You´ve Got to Hide Your Love Away 10. Every Little Thing So much leave out!! And yes, Lennon is my fav, no George song make it (although love really many of his) at least there are one Paul song (Paperback). To me Beatles is not the greatest but most important band in pop music, because I believe all the popmusic (also prog) would have much more boring without Beatles (of course we will never know it because that alternative don´t exist).

I like this idea: Harry Georgeson was my fave Fab writer in the last 4 years of the band Beatles (+/- chronological order) Norwegian Wood Rigby Day In The Life Walrus While My Guitar Revolution Skelter Rocky Raccoon Come Together (Abbey Road in general, as 2/3 of the tracks #11 to 20 would come from it) I Me Mine Just after The Beatles Working Class Hero How Do You Sleep My Sweet Lord |

Let me try it, in no particular order. 1. And I love her. 2. Yesterday. 3. Norwegian Wood. 4. Eleanor Rigby. 5. A day in the life. 6. Hey Jude. 7. While my guitar gently weeps. 8. Here comes the Sun. 9. Across the Universe. 10. Let it be. With While my Guitar Gently Weeps being my absolute favourite, and A Day in the Life perhaps my second. |

1. It's All Too Much 2. Penny Lane 3. Eleanor Rigby 4. A Day In The Life 5. Strawberry Fields Forever 6. And I Love Her 7. Nowhere Man 8. All You Need Is Love 9. Tomorrow Never Knows 10. Michelle the last one is because when I was child in the sixties we had a French exchange student called Michelle staying at our house for a while. She used to gently scold me in her lovely accent
 . I remember thinking it was so fantastic that she had her own song lol. |

While I don't think that any Beatles album is a 10/10, there are several songs of them which belong to the best I have ever heard. And their undisputed best is I'm the Walrus. Followed by the fellow psychedelic stuff A Day in the Life and Strawberry Fields, and all 3 are basically by Lennon.

Finally, someone mentioned Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, which has been my favourite Beatles song every since I was young. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |
