Top 5 Beatle songs...so many, so many to choose from

[kodi]

and this past week was John Lennon's birthday..... so, inspired by the most recognized opening notes from songs thread, where immediately I thought of the guitar feedback of "I Feel Fine" and "A Hard Day's Night" (btw, it's a G7sus.)

1. Here Comes The Sun

2. & 3. (a toss up) Help or A Hard Day's Night

4. A Day In the Life

5. You've Got to Hide Your Love Away

have at it.

[unblock]

1. "if i fell" has got to make the list

not as big a "hit" as others, but amazing harmony and composition.
beatiful song. "hard day's night" is great, too, but there's more to a true masterpiece than a great riff and an infectious tempo.

[Magrittes Pipe]

2. Hm.

1) And Your Bird Can Sing
2) I'm Down (I love Little Richard rip-offs, hence my Sonics fixation)
3) Tomorrow Never Knows
4) She Said, She Said
5) Savoy Truffle

[BlackVelvetElvis]

3. That's hard. But speaking from a guitar intro...

I'd include these:
Norwegian Wood
Revolution
Taxman

[lpbk2713]

4. I know I can't pin it down to just five.

And any list I might make on one day wouldn't be the same the next day.

But here's an extended list for anyone else that might want to try to narrow it down......

Here goes:

1. I Saw Her Standing There

2. While My Guitar Gently Weeps

3. In My Life

8. I want you, (she's so heavy)

Either that or 'I am the walrus'. Their catalogue is nearly 500 songs, most of them great.
