[Music] Best ever Beatles song

[JBizzle]

I can't pick one...

We Can Work It Out;
And Your Bird Can Sing;
Here Comes The Sun;
I've Just Seen A Face;
Twist and Shout;
Let It Be;
I'm A Loser;
In My Life

The list goes on... That's if I don't include my "guilty pleasure list" of weird McCartney songs like Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Rocky Raccoon and Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Objectively not good songs in the pantheon of McCartney or the Beatles, but great to sing my son to sleep when he was little on account of their simple nursery rhyme style

Yeah, very weird posting an opinion on a football message board thread yet again about the bloody beatles.
I think people get to defensive about an over rated boy band, after all they did nothing innovative

Too right, just more work shy scousers…….you hum it and I will boo it.

I don't like Cliff Richard but I accept that what he did he did well but was a bit one dimensional. You don't like anything the Beatles did which is weird as they had quite a few dimensions over the years. I struggle to believe there isn't a single song they did that you didn't like just a little. You obviously can't admit that now you've entrenched yourself so deep I know

Are you insinuating I like Cliff Richard ?
Good grief

As for liking a song, yeah ok Elenore Rigby, you can have that one....

 

[BBassic]

It's a bit of a 'surface' choice but All My Loving is my favourite.

The bassline is incredible.
The vocals sound incredible.

They've got a lot of great tracks in that era before they found LSD but it stands out for me.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"

 

[Soul Finger]

In a thread clearly discussing the best track by The Beatles, why do people feel the need to come on to let everyone know they DON'T like The Beatles?

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Can't choose, too many outstanding songs and will change my mind depending on mood. Probably one out of:

In My Life;
Daytripper;
Helter Skelter;
Strawberry Fields Forever;
A Day In The Life.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer

My least favourite Beatles song (for obvious reasons!)

Haha, yeah I can't argue with that. My son has always struggled to get to sleep (maybe it's me singing songs about people being violently murdered with a hammer!) and something in the bouncing melody always seemed to get him to drift off better than any other song

You do spend a lot of time on Beatles threads making your views known. It is a bit trolly. And I'm sure years ago it turned out you liked Kaiser Chiefs or other such shite

Makes you a bit weird posting on every Beatles thread though.

To be fair to [MENTION=13230]Psychobilly freakout[/MENTION] he was notified to this thread (see below) he’s also mentioned in the opening post, hope this helps.

Calling [MENTION=13230]Psychobilly freakout[/MENTION]

It’s a bit of a NSC standing joke with him not liking the Beatles

Correct, I did see the thread early yesterday morning, and actually thought "Nah" I will leave it.

But good Ol Herr Tubthumper gave me a shout out , and yes I took the bait, it is too easy, folks get way to precious about this boy band

 

[Insel affe]

The shortest one

Ringo Starr

I only said he was 'a bit wierd' - which I reckon he didn't a) take to heart, or b) dispute.

To seek attention.

Fair enough
I think another poster (that I didn’t quote) probably took it a bit too seriously

Even if they never did anything innovative, they did it very well.

And I’ve just read that George Harrison was the first musician to use a sitar in Western popular music.

To dismiss them as a Boy Band seems somewhat churlish, but for my own part I have thought for several decades (5?) that Led Zeppelin were over loud pretentious garbage.

As alluded to above, I was being a little mischievous. I would like to clarify I was mischievous and not mocking; I have a lot of time for Mr Freakout's observations and views on music.

I was aware of "the joke"but it's like Leon Bests last few games for Albion and not funny anymore.

 

[Jaxie]

There is a reason for that....

What’s the point of opening a thread specifically aimed at those that like the Beatles, just to let everyone know that you don’t like them? What a waste of time!

Love the Beatles.
My favourite changes regularly. When in my 20s and 30s it was the later stuff but now prefer the early stuff, however this remains a constant as one of the best. Surprised its not been mentioned yet.
