Blackbird is perhaps my favourite Beatles song. Absolutely lovely. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!

You can make a poll on anything here. And I guess as they are on here you can put it in prog polls. I thought about it before but you're limited to 25 options I think.
I love it all really. So much I ccan almost taste it.
I'll go for Everybody's got something to hide 'cept me and my monkey!
But it could be any of 10 or so.

Yer Blues and While my guitar gently weeps are both brilliant. Can´t really choose. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

Ditto.  The poll could be made with 20-22 tracks plus "other (specify)". ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

Tough choice, I'll guess I'll go with While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It's "Savoy Truffle", btw. |

I'm So Tired delivers its message utilising a combination of simple sounds, textures and enunciation that is tantamount to a musical version of the Vulcan mind meld (astonishing) -------------

Ob-La-Di, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Piggies, and Everyone's Got Something To Hide are probably my favorites. And it's not on the album, but the "fuzz" version of Revolution is amazing (Hey Jude B-side I think): |

| There's only two Beatles songs I care to listen to. One is "A Day in the Life" and the other is "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." So the choice is obvious. |

While My Guitar Gently Weeps Happiness is a Warm Gun Blackbird Julia Helter Skelter One of those. I find it quite difficult to choose. Either Blackbird or WMGGW I think, though.

Happiness is a Warm Gun
Martha My Dear
I'm So Tired
I Will
Julia
Long, Long, Long
I would add While My Guitar Gently Weeps if it wasn't for the dreadful keyboard sound |

There's a lot on this album that I dig. While My Guitar ..., Everybody's Got Something To Hide..., Birthday, Why Don't We Do It In The Road, etc. etc... I have a soft spot for Revolution 9 too. I still remember the first time I heard it ... I was listening to this album with my wife (she was still my girlfriend at the time) for the first time and we dozed off. We woke up to Revolution 9, and it was a pretty scary experience.

Towards the bottom of the list for my favorite Beatles albums, but... "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" "Julia" "Blackbird" "Mother Nature's Son" "Martha My Dear" ^^ those are gems. ------------- http://didyouseethosebats.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - Did You See Those Bats?

| I really love the whole album, but my favourite is While My Guitar Gently Weeps, followed by Helter Skelter. And, even if it's sin I've to admit I like Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da a lot xD |

This is though. I only recently discovered the White Album and am totally immersed in it these days... Hard to choose one, but I'll settle with "Mother Nature's Son" I love the gentle, breezy vibe of that song. I also love Piggies! Oink, oink! |
