I really love them all, but out of that lot "I want you (she's so heavy)" is the better song I think.

I wouldn't say these are their best songs.. but of course there is no bad Beatles song. Just to examine these songs:
Helter Skelter was Paul's response to an article he had read about The Who and how raw and powerful their new album was. Paul had never even heard the song yet but decided to write one of the most heavy and raw songs ever written.
Yer Blues was a number in classic blues fashion. Lennon darkly writes about wanting to die and even references Bob Dylan's song "Ballad of a Thin Man" and the theory of Cosmology. Check out The Rolling Stones Rock N Roll Circus movie for a good (not as good as the Beatles) version of this with Lennon, Keith Richards, Mitch Mitchell, and Eric Clapton.
Paul walked around screaming for days to get his voice prepped for his vocal performance on Oh Darling. I would have to say that this song is the most melodic of the group. I love the way George does his little bits on the song. Paul's voice is in top form.
I Want You (She's So Heavy) is a song which consists of less than like 15 words. John's guitar riffs mimic his vocals on the song and it works well. I love the way the song builds up then drops back to a real jazzy feel. The ending is absolutely killer. John wanted to do something that the listener wasn't going to expect, so he cut the song off mid-progression. I love the way Abbey Road segues into Here Comes The Sun... I always envisioned it as the end of I Want You is a big storm, and when the storms suddenly ends, the sun comes out and all is happy.
Basically, I can't choose one of these songs... they all rock.
