Besides the singles, what is everyone's favourite Beatles song? I would have to say mine is Good Night. I just love that song, especially the way Ringo sings it. Such a beautiful song. I just love the melody, gets to me every time I hear it

I don't know which songs were released as a single but one song that's always been a Beatles-favorite of mine is "I'm only sleeping"

The original MONO Single mix of "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)"
Mostly recorded in '67, the bar-sequence shows that Lennon heard the H&V Cantina mix in 1967 and was influenced.

I love "For No One" as well... And what do you mean by "you're kiddin', aren't you?" |

How so, is there something specific you're pointing to, or just the fact that there's the bar noise? If the latter, I can't agree. Zappa's "America Drinks and Goes Home" was that year, and included bar noise. Does that mean he was influenced by cantina H&V? |

This is harder than naming a favorite non single BeachBoys tune.
I'm not sure what wasn't released as a single.
One that always sounds great to me is The Night Before. The middle eight is just absolutely tasty.
And I like Fixing a Hole. The tempo and Maccas base lines are very catchy.

Very difficult to answer. In these instances I usually go with "I Am The Walrus". After all these years I still dig it immensely. The tempo and Maccas base lines are very catchy.
There is a school of thought that says Paul does not play bass on this track. Now I don't have my books or anything with me but it goes something like this - They recorded the basic track with lead vocal live. This was during what I call Paul's Piano Period - you know, around Revolver or so he really hit that hot streak of piano-based songs. So, Paul's playing the keyboard and singing so he can't be on bass because apparently the basic is all on one track performed live (no bounce-down). That leaves either John or George. I'm guessing George. Sounds a little too "involved" to be John to me. Plus I seem to remember that John was doing something else that prevented him from playing bass - maybe percussion, or maybe he wasn't even there. Anyhoo - again, this is all from memory. I know it came from the Lewisohn book plus some essay in the 910 or something. So these are not stone facts but I believe they point the way to The Truth. I just do not have the time to find it right now. BTW, I've been lurking for about a month. Nice place you got here. My name is Pete but "DV" is fine too. Less letters. |

Wow, way too many to name as a favorite but i'd say..
John- Tomorrow Never Knows
Paul- Paperback Writer
George- Taxman
Ringo- Oh OK how about Don't Pass Me By.

I really love "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "Got To Get You Into My Life" from "Revolver", and "I'm Looking Through You" from "Rubber Soul" is another one I really dig.

My favorite is "It's All Too Much." Had this been on Sgt. Pepper instead of "Within You, Without You," who knows what could have been. Close runner up: "In My Life."

That reminds me of a remark made by someone I worked with in W.H. Smith's back in 1966. He'd just bought three recent 45s: "I've got Mrs Appleby, I'm a boy and I can't help myself."  |
