Anyway, the list...

1) Taxman
2) Eleanor Rigby
3) I'm Only Sleeping
4) Love You To
5) Here, There and Everywhere
6) Yellow Submarine
7) She Said She Said
8) Good Day Sunshine
9) And Your Bird Can Sing
10) For No One
11) Doctor Robert
12) I Want to Tell You
13) Got to Get You into My Life
14) Tomorrow Never Knows

There's a distinct lack of Blackbird and I Will so far.

 

[Blue Punter]

Rocky Racoon gets in my top 14.

Whenever anyone mentions The Beatles, I think of this.

First off, great idea for a thread. Second, there are only a couple Beatles songs that I don't like so it's really tough to choose. I'll start with my all-time favorite Beatles song and go from there:

1- I Got A Feelin'
2- One After 909
3- Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite
4- Why Don't We Do It On the Road
5- Only a Northern Song
6- Rocky Racoon
7- I'm Down
8- All You Need Is Love
9- Don't Let Me Down
10- Happiness Is a Warm Gun
11- I'll Follow the Sun
12- Taxman
13- Here Comes the Sun
14- With a Little Help From My Friends

Also, WOW! I can't believe how different the first few lists are. I don't think there's another band in history that could have that many songs only mentioned once on people's all-time favorites lists.

yeah buckshot, I really wanted to put Lady Madonna, If I Fell and I Want You on there... (good shout with warm gun BTW)

maybe I shouldve said a double album ha ha

 

[Gelsons Dad]

I've been thinking about this for a while now and this is where I'm at:


I saw her standing there
Do you want to know a Secret

From me to you
She loves you

All my loving

A hard day’s night
I should have known better
If I fell
And I lover her
Can’t buy me love
You cant do that
I’ll be back

Baby’s in black
I’ll follow the sun
Eight days a week

Help
You’ve got to hide your love away
Ticket to ride
Yesterday

Drive my car
Norwegian wood
Nowhere man
Girl
In my life

Paperback writer
Rain

Taxman
Eleanor Rigby
Here, there and everywhere
Yellow Submarine
For no one
Got to get you into my life
Tomorrow never knows

With a little help from my friends
She’s leaving home
Lovely Rita
A day in the life

Lady Madonna

The fool on the hill
I am the walrus
Hello goodbye
Strawberry fields
Penny lane
All you need is love

Hey Jude
Get back

Revolution 1
Blackbird
Rocky Racoon
Julia
Back in the USSR
Dear Prudence
While my guitar gently weeps

All together now
Hey bulldog

Hey Jude

Two of us
Across the universe
Let it be
I’ve got a feeling
The long and winding road
Get back

Something
Here comes the sun
You never give me your money
Sun king
Mean Mr. Mustard
Polythene Pam
She came in through the bathroom window
Golden slumbers
Carry that weight
The end

Fixed for my bro TMQ!


As I can't really remove anymore without feeling something's missing, I'm going for the box set quadruple LP format.

 

[Shands]

Sorry OP I realise I'll be disqualified because I've nt stayed within the rules but here's my album.

I Should Have Known Better
Anytime At All
That Means A Lot
The Night Before
I’m happy just to dance with you
This Boy
It’s Only Love (anthology version)
Lovely Rita
Strawberry Fields
Rain
Tomorrow Never Knows
Here there and everywhere
Golden Slumbers/Carry that Weight
Across The Universe

*hidden track*

Twist and Shout.

So hard to choose
