Penny Lane for sure. Is it wrong to pick a Paul song as the Beatles best?

The top 3 that come immediately to mind...

1. I Will
2. Across the Universe
3. I Saw Her Standing There

Top Album: Revolver

 

[N@Z]

I chose Sgt Pepper, for some reason I like the drums & guitars on it but I also quite like the one with the video where they were playing on top of the roof, can't seem to recall which one that is.

of course not. i do, however, admit my bias when creating the poll -- i am more of a John Lennon fan.

my favorite three beatle albums:

1. revolver
2. rubber soul
3. a hard day's night

I alway's liked Octo*****'s Garden. It's simply a fun tune.

A write-in: The Night Before from the album HELP! and motion picture of the same name.

But also many, many other favorites from The Beatles' "early" catalog.

About 15-20 percent of the early Lennon/McCartney original compositions have a totally unique kind of iambic pentameter that's virtually impossible to describe.

Favorite Albums:

- The White Album
- Revolver

"Across the Universe". Paul and John wrote great stuff, but the few George kicked in were absolute beauties.

Originally posted by grinch i dig "when i saw her standing there" and "rocky raccoon." i wonder if anybody else thinks of kelly when they look at the title of the latter song..

and i thought i was alone...

i voted for 'while my guitar gently weeps'

probably my favorite albums are abbey road and revolver, though not by much

Kinda difficult to choose a favourite Beatles song, isn't it? And there are so many relatively unknown gems... like "Yes It Is" (right, this one was already mentioned), "This Boy", "Run For Your Life", "Savoy Truffle", just to name a few.

By the way (mental link from "Savoy Truffle"), George's posthumous album "Brainwashed" has just been released today.

JMT:

We're So Sorry, Uncle Albert... that's "Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey", a McCartney song from his second solo album "Ram".

I just placed my order for the limited edition set:

* Bonus DVD on "The Making of Brainwashed"

* Collector's poster

* An official George Harrison guitar pick (LOL, yeah right...)

* All packaged in special collector's box

 

[sacriste]

That's a tough question because they have so many perfect songs. In some moment I was obsessed by Michelle but right now my favorite is Eleanor Rigby.

 

[arnett]

interesting results on the poll so far* . . .

McCartney is in the lead with 13 votes

Harrison is second with 11 votes

Lennon is in third place (

) with 7 votes

Ringo has no votes.

it might be cool if people could post some beatles trivia questions.

Greenhorn, thanks. I think I'll have to pick it up.

I just opened my Brainwashed box and there is no guitar pick inside

Will anyone having bought the US released "Brainwashed" box be so kind as to tell me whether there really is a guitar pick inside?

It might be possible that the guitar pick is put only in the US releases - as opposed to European releases???

Thanks!
