THAT"S a tough one! There are SO many....One that's often overlooked (I don't think I can say which is my favorite) is "I Don't Wanna Spoil The Party," arguably the first or one of the first true Country Rock,"(not Rockabilly) songs. Of course "Paperback Writer" was like their "Jumpin' Jack Flash" or vice versa...something from another world that hit the radio and blew minds. Can't say, but boy what a catalog! Thanks, Tony. WW

"Eleanor Rigby." Also great chords.
Too many to list.
In 1964, my mother worked at a privately owned drugstore (remember those?) that sold vinyl records. One day she brought home an album entitled, "Meet The Beatles," (wouldn't it be swell to still have it?), and told me they were all the rage. I was probably in the seventh grade. I put it on, and a monster was loosed. This was also about the time my Uncle David went off to the army and gave me his Silvertone guitar with the lipstick pickup. I took and old record player, removed the needle and made an amplifier. (The guitar original had the amp in the case, but, alas, it wasn't extant anymore.)
I have a well-worn songbook with music in the original keys, entitled "The Compleat Beatles." It is everything that they wrote, but due to licensing issues, it doesn't include "Anna," for instance.

Webb Wilder Member Since: July 2003	"Anna" is originally by Arthur Alexander, an artist and singer/songwriter worth checking out. A true American original, he was covered by both the Beatles AND the Stones. WW

Tom Comet Member Since: October 2006	In addition to many already named, I really love "Don't Bother Me", "Rain" (said to be Ringo's favorite drum track), "And Your Bird Can Sing" (double leads!), and in honor of the Holidays, "Everywhere It's Christmas" from the Beatles fan club records, a real tour-de-force of psychedelic comedy that only they could have come up with. I can't really think of any Beatle songs I DON'T like...

Nese Member Since: February 2005 Everyone Loves Nese Everyone Loves Nese	Too many to pick a top ten, I can't even pick top 5 albums. The Beatles was all I listened to as a child, I even saw them live..twice! I may have been the only 4yo in the audience. I have a story about between the shows. Anyway..."And Your Bird Can SIng", "Don't Bother Me" and alot of the early stuff, maybe because those are the songs that captured and threw me into the crazy world of music. Bless The Beatles!
