Greatest? Man. I'd go with "Let it Be" or "A Day in the Life".
My favorite? "Norwegian Wood" or "Day Tripper"
Yeah it's an impossible question. As soon as I posted that I thought of more songs I love by them.
I'm sure I'm breaking no ground in saying they produced a ridiculous amount of good shit.
Love me do.
^ :gay5: lol
Impossible question to name best song \ single
Best album is easy though - The Anthology Box Set
Twist and Shout.

Of course you'd site a COVER as their best song lol, out of all the fabulous originals you have to choose from.Quote:

Let's look at it from another angle.
The Beatles songs are classic songs, good songs, catchy songs, cutting edge at the time, but how deep are the songs, especially during the 1st few years?
Despite all their positive points, they still seem like lightweight fluff to me nowadays; I know some folks may scream "Sacrilege" over that declaration.:( But hey, these dudes were all in their early 20s at the time; how deep could they be?
The early stuff is fun songs, but where's the depth? Some of these early songs are just too saccharine sweet. They were a 60s band, no longevity. By the end of the decade, their songs were gaining more depth as they seasoned, and it was more solid music with more backbone, but then they broke up.
I think John Lennon's subsequent solo work trumped all the Beatles stuff.
There was serious depth there, there was some heavyweight material of real substance there. Classic timeless music, whereas Beatles music is dated.
Whaddya think ?
Sure much of the early stuff was me, you, do, true, when it came to lyrics, but albums like A Hard Day's Night were just so much fun. I still enjoy all that in the right mood.
Post Beatles I think Lennon took it the furthest of all followed by Harrison, McCartney seemed to lose his muse. Albums like Plastic Ono Band and All Things Must Pass are incredible.
I disagree, I think the Beatles will be timeless music. I put the quality up their with Beethoven etc. One of my all time favorite songs is Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite. It shows how unique they could be. Favorite Album today I agree with Milesman, The White Album. You have songs like Honey pie, Helter Skeltor and Why Don't We Do It in The Road. What other band had such incredible range.
Same reasons here too, Walrus. Just great tunes and variation on there.
Their first stuff was mostly garbage, bubble gum pop of it's time, but that can be said for most great artists as it takes time to come into your own artistically. It's what they did at their peak that mattered, which is incredible work.
My favorite Beatles album: Rubber Soul
Best: Sgt. Pepper's
My least favourite Beatles album is Beatles for Sale. Quickly made, too many covers, and the originals not as sprightly as they had been.
Yeah I'm not a big fan of that or their first two albums.
When I'm 64...Lucy in the sky with Diamonds and Helter Skelter have to be at the top for me
There will be an answer, Let it be!
Great song. Played it at my weddingQuote:

Certainly I am the walrus is my theme song but to say favorite is difficult. Honey pie is very good, savoy truffle is excellent, rocky raccoon is great. I have the Beatles channel in my car and favorite beatle song can depend on mood. That girl shows how well John and Paul’s voice went together, like it was meant to be. Octopuses garden is so fucking unique. Let it be, when you are dealing with a tough situation, being for the benefit of mr kite is just awesome and within without you is beautiful. @Master George Harrison’s last few albums had some great eastern influence songs, including chanting. I think you would enjoy them. I’d pm you a file but the disks got stolen when I was working in a tough section of a city next to me. Anyway, the Beatles were the most influential band ever. I’d love to go to Liverpool to take that Beatles tour. Maybe I could hook up with Big D, I’m sure he loves the Beatles. Beatles, just another reason I love England you guys sent us some great bands
I liked this one, it's an underrated Beatles song:

Definitely, tomorrow never knows of the same album is great. Klaus voorman or vorman did that album coverQuote:

1. Yesterday (timeless melody, could have been written any time)
2. Your Mother Should Know (this one is maybe less popular, but I love it)
3. And your bird can sing (great guitar sounds and harmonies)
4. Here, there and everywhere (McCartney is not human)
5. A day in the life (Just transcendent)
6. Honey Pie (McCartney magic)
7. Nowhere Man (really deep lyrics in this one)
8. Strawberry Fields Forever (lovely verse melody)
9. Eleanor Rigby (Great use of strings)
10. Golden Slumbers (Just a really beautiful piece)
I actually find Help to be a pretty dull album and you can tell they were doing it as a hack. I think the same about Beatles for Sale and a few others. A few good tracks, but not great albums at all. When they took more time and worked at it in the studio the music became profound and magical and those 1966 onwards albums are where it gets truly special for me. I think Pepper is a little bit overrated though. Better songwriting on Revolver and more sporadically on The White Album and Abbey Road.
What's the name of that Beatles song that the lyrics are " you are not dying you are not dying from the beginning from the beginning relax and go down slow Etc"
I think that's my favorite and then after that maybe the Magical Mystery Tour and yellow submarine and Norwegian Wood
Tomorrow never knows... on the revolver albumQuote:
