What is it? Why is it your favorite?

I can't limit it to one. Here's my fave's:
Hey Jude - naaah ... nahhh ... nah ... naNaNa..nah... naNaNa..nah... hey-hay Jude (with Paul M.) screaming n the background. Do lyrics get any better than this?
I Wanna Hold Your Hand - was there ever a better silly love song? This one defines the genre.
In My Life - Johnny Cash did this on his "The Man Comes Around" album - it would be my favorite Beatle song of all time, but I'm thinking that they don't deserve it because I hardly noticed it until The Man In Black did it shortly before his death. He immortalized it. If you haven't heard the Johnny version, go out and buy it. You won't believe it.
We're so Sorry Uncle Albert (or whatever it is called) - probably the best silly song they ever did, and undoubtedly the inspiraton for some of Queen's best work. First time I heard Bohemian Rhapsody, I thought "we're so sorry ... uncle Albert .. but we haven't done a bloody thing all day." AT least Freddy Mercury put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger now he's dead. He was a doer, not a bum.
Help From My Friends ... best Ringo song of all time, and there weren't many.
Yesterday, Lonely People, so many others. I used to watch the Beatles cartoon show on Saturdays. I sort of have a thing for Long and Winding Road. I think it was right before they went their separate ways.
There are two groups that cover Beatles tunes very well. One is called Beatlemania, as in "Beatlemania, its sweeping the nation." The other is more recent ... The Magical Mystery Tour. These bands do the costumes, hair and everything else the Beatles did in the different stages of their amazing career as a band. Paul McCartney still has it going.

"Strawberry Fields Forever." Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
It doesn't matter much to me.
"Fixing a Hole"..I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where will it go
I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door
And kept my mind from wandering
Where will it go
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong
I'm right
Where I belong I'm right
Where I belong.
See the people standing there who disagree and never win
And wonder why they don't get in my door.
I'm painting my room in the colourful way
And when my mind is wandering
There I will go.
And it really doesn't matter if
I'm wrong I'm right
Where I belong I'm right
Where I belong.
Silly people run around they worry me
And never ask me why they don't get past my door.
I'm taking the time for a number of things
That weren't important yesterday
And I still go.
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go.
Why I like these songs most lyrical team writing and how they use the band instrumentally to attract you to it .

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds....the lyrics are trippy.
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds...
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds...
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds...

Yes, "Yesterday"
It touches my soul in a way that none of the other Beatle's songs can.

Yes its Tommorrow Never Knows on the Revolver Album. Its sounds wacky, crazy even now so it must have sounded way more back in 1966.

I would have to say strawberry fields.
It reminds me of "other times", times i don't mind remembering. I love songs that make you think of things you don't mind remembering. Even painful things, you always feel alive when you think of them. I love to take the moment to just know I'm alive. Allot of us tend to for get this. So back to the song!!!! My vote is for strawberry fields... forever!

Probably Blackbird. My mom used to sing it to me as a lullaby. I also love Eleanor Rigby, as the background strings are gorgeous.

When I'm 64..I like it because it's asking for a basic human need, to be loved no matter what.

A Day in the Life...It sums up how I feel about life in general.
