Favorite Beatles song
"Oh! Darling" is still tops for me. And no, as much as he reportedly wanted to, there's no way Lennon could have sung it half as good.

2. I've always loved Eleanor Rigby
Great story, nice music. But if you ask me tomorrow, I'll probably come up with something else.

23. Let it Be
Here Comes the Sun and Hey Jude are close seconds. And Ob-la-di Ob-la-da wins most catchy for me.

32. There are few songs as beautiful as Let It Be, IMO
The only one comes to mind that compares is Leonard Cohen/Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah.

42. Here's mine.............
The Word
Lennon/McCartney
Lyrics:
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love
In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I've got it, the word is good

Spread the word and you'll be free
Spread the word and be like be
Spread the work I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love
Every where I go I hear it said
In the good and bad books that I have read

Give the word a chance to say
That the word is just the way
It's the word I'm thinking of
And the only word is love
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love
Now that I know what I feel must be right
I'm here to show everybody the light

Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love
