And even though the above 14-minute things are fakes, I also like that several people have just listened to a bunch of weird sh*t just because you queried an item on my list

Of course I haven't heard it. But the descriptions of it easily put it way up there among my favourite Beatles songs (incidentally, I prefer the mono version of Revolution 9 over the better-known stereo version). If I hadn't heard the 1966 & 1967 Christmas flexis I would still love them just from reading detailed descriptions of their contents.

yeah, thanks for that.
And that's the first time I've ever come across someone ranking a song amongst his favourites just from a description.

man.. I'd really have to think about that. So many great ones... so many so ingrained into the subconscious that I probably haven't physically listened to a Beatles album in ages.

It's probably been a good 5 years since I last heard anything Beatles related...maybe 7
Still love A Day In The Life though. I know it by heart so I rarely need to refresh my memory. Pretty obvious choice on a prog forum, but it's always been my fave of theirs (John's).

Maybe he can. I don't know if this is genuine:
... or this: ...
Well they can't both be the real thing. I've just listened to the first one and I don't hear "Lennon and McCartney screaming dementedly and bawling aloud random phrases like 'Are you alright?' and 'Barcelona!" as it says on Wikepedia.
Let's try the second one.
The latter of the two comes closest to Lewisohn's desription in The Beatles Recording Sessions:
"Track one of the tape was full of distorted, hypnotic drum and organs sounds; track two had a distorted lead guitar; track three had the sounds of a church organ, various effects (the gargling with water was one) and voices; track four featured various indescribaable sound effects with heaps of tape echo and manic tambourine. But of all the frightening sounds it was the voices on track three which really set the scene, John and Paul screaming dementedly and bawling aloud random phrases like 'Are you alright?' and 'Barcelona*. Paul terminated the proceedings after almost 14 minutes with one final shout up to the control room: 'Can we hear it back now?'".

1. Strawberry Fields Forever 2. The Long and Winding Road 3. I Am the Walrus 4. Revolution 5. A Day in the Life 6. Slumbers/Weight/End 7. Tomorrow Never Knows 8. Your Mother Should Know 9. Old Brown Shoe 10. Martha My Dear 11. I'll Be Back 12. If I Fell 13. I Want You (She's So Heavy) 14. The Fool on the Hill 15. Norwegian Wood 16. All You Need is Love 17. You Won't See Me 18.

Hon. mention I Dig a Pony Lady Madonna
Some of these may seem kind of trivial but they're the ones I enjoy listening to the most at this point in time. I'm not sure that qualifies as "best" except in my own mind, but if I were making a mix CD of my favorites, this would be it.

what's so special about Revolution 9? I saw it a several lists.
Because it appeared on a Beatles album, it was heard by more people than had ever heard musique concrète before - many of whom went on to be the next generation of experimental musicians and sound artists. It's also very good to listen to, in my opinion.
