Let's see.
List of favorites: "And Your Bird Can Sing." "Let It Be" (the version of "Let It Be" from Let It Be...Naked). "Real Love." "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away." "Here Comes the Sun." "Here, There, and Everywhere." "Octopus's Garden." "Maxwell's Silver Hammer."
Man, even choosing a top 5 is impossible. I guess if I had to whittle that list down to an actual 5, I'd say "And Your Bird Can Sing," "Real Love," "Octopus's Garden," "Here Comes the Sun," and "Here, There, and Everywhere."
I don't want to pick a favorite.
I've never been a BIG fan of the Beatles...but Yesterday is an exquisite piece. The rest I can listen to or not.
I'm too young to know the ins and outs of the Beatles for real, but the ones I've always loved are [meaning, I don't remember not knowing them - they were just part of forever for me0:
Norwegian Wood
In My Life
Yesterday
Imagine
For the fans of "Yesterday" perhaps this is old news, but for awhile Paul was wondering whether he had inadvertently ripped off the melody from some other song. Anyway, he would sing the melody to others and ask them "What song is this?" Eventually, after enough people responded that they'd never heard it, he decided it was original enough. Also, before he wrote the words that became "Yesterday" he would sing, "Scramble eggs...oh my baby how I love your legs" as he worked on the melody at the home of a girlfriend (Linda, perhaps?) in the morning. (I read Spitz's "The Beatles" a couple years ago, hence some of my useless trivia which, hopefully, will be amusing and new to a least a few.)
My favs include Hey Jude, Yesterday, A Day in the Life, and She's Leaving Home. If pressed, I think I go with A Day in the Life.
Uh, sorry, that was "scrambled eggs..."
