Yellow Submarine is far from the Beatles' best work, but I've always had a soft spot for "It's All Too Much" and "Only a Northern Song" (the former got my vote)

Here Comes the Sun just barely beats out While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Taxman.

Something was a personal favorite of Frank Sinatra and he always made a point of praising the song writer skills of the Lennon/McCartney partnership because of this song. Frank Sinatra's version is actually very good.

So I voted Something because it is one of the best love songs of all time.

...but Sinatra was mistaken on the songwriting credits.

Good one Mr. Harrison and good work on the guitar solo Mr. Clapton.

Since The Beatles are included in this large umbrella of Progressive Music categories on this site it should be within bounds to have a Beatles poll...

I believe the list above includes all of "The Quiet One's" songs that appeared during his time in the Beatles. Some of these songs are admittedly obscure, but I didn't want to omit any songs considering how widely heard the Beatles catalog has become.

My personal faves are Blue Jay Way, Something, Old Brown Shoe, Here Comes The Sun, Piggies, If I Needed Someone, and While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
