MY TOP 25 BEATLE SONGS

1/ always, though it doesn’t really count as a song on its own but it must be the top track in it’s symphonic vision (largely Paul with encouragement from George Martin)

The bottom 5 (for BB at least):

"5. Helter Skelter

4. All Together Now

3. Why Don't We Do It in the Road?

2. What's the New MaryJane?

1. Blue Jay Way

plus

Hey Jude, Come Together, Revolution, Something, Yesterday, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, With a Little Help From My Friends, I am the Walrus, Daytripper, I Feel Fine, Rain, Here There and Everywhere, You Can't Do That, Drive My Car, Norwegian Wood, Things We Said Today, Got to Get You Into My Life,

(As mentioned in previous post, since Revolution 9 is not really a song and can't really be judged by same criteria as other songs, not fair to include it here - for the record, it is interesting as a sound collage, but is not something that should be included on a Beatles album, and yes, I almost always skip over it)."
