ten years after wrote:

Abbey Road Medley (this really is just one track)

It would have been in my top five as well if I had allowed myself to include the suite as one track.

Eleanor Rigby is obviously a timeless little masterpiece but I can't listen to it. I guess the same applies to Here Comes the Sun

Well, I'm sure a topic like this one has been done before, but as I can't seem to find it, I'd like to see which Beatles song you guys prefer.

So, among the rich discography of the Fab Four, try and choose just twenty! (I tried ten, but it was impossible). Mine would go like this:

1 - A Day in the Life

2 - Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight / The End

3 - Strawberry Fields Forever

4 - Tomorrow Never Knows

5 - You Never Give Me Your Money

6 - While My Guitar Gently Weeps

7 - I Am the Walrus

8 - Rain

9 - I'm Only Sleeping

10 - In My Life

11 - Something

12 - I Want You (She's so Heavy)

13 - Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)

14 - Flying

15 - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

16 - Here Comes the Sun

17 - Lady Madonna

18 - And Your Bird Can Sing

19 - Get Back

20 - Blue Jay Way

Honorable mentions to:

-With a Little Help From my Friends

-Within You Without You

-Hey Jude

-It's All Too Much

-Nowhere Man

-Eleanor Rigby

-Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
