Axl Rose Child Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 List your five favourite Beatles songs and why.1. In My LifeSimply the most beautiful song I have ever heard. Simple, infectious melody and great singing. Lennon's greatest moment.2. She Loves You"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah". Great to sing along to. Just vintage Beatles, takes me back to the 1960s everytime I hear it.3. JuliaLennon's song about his mother. Beautiful. Great melody and, again, so uncomplex. Underrated, in my opinion.4. Help!This one took a while to grow on me but now that it has, I love it. I love the verse parts especially. Great vocal melodies and singing.5. A Day In The Life"I read the news today. Oh boy!" Classic opening line. Amazing song. I prefer John's parts to Paul's but it comes together well. If you can, download the race acetate version of this (the one used on the Anthology - the demo that starts "Sugarplum Fairy") - its even more beautiful.

Strawberry Fields Forever because I love the melodySexy Sadie because of its great vocalsOctopus' Garden because of the guitarThose really aren't my favs but the first five I could come up with.

Rumin Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 "With A Little Help From My Friends". Very catchy, good lyrics, and some good personal moments attached to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igyhi Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 My favourite is While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Nice solo by Eric Clapton. Day Tripper is my second favourite, has a badass riff. A lot of good songs but those are my two favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamisonic Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Because of many reasons:It's a blast to listen to.It has got a great schemeThe middle part is greatThe ending is pure rock n' rollThe intro as wellAt this point the Beatles were clean, and they just sang about "holding hands"Features the whole band at their best, as a rock n' roll bandGreat lyricsIt made the Beatles a worldwide actIt was The breakthrough Beatles songEleanor Rigby wasA number oneThe Beatles didn't play a single instrumentAnd lyrics about deathIt is kind of good, but not that good.
