Favorite Beatles song?

[georgia003 0]

what's your favorite Beatles song ... or if you're like me and find it too difficult to pick one ... you can pick several

 

I really like I Saw Her Standing There and the Lennon cover of Twist & Shout are some of my favs ... also later songs like Let It Be are great too.

It changes every so often... Girl... or I've Just Seen a Face right now.

I'll narrow it down to three. Things We Said Today, She's Leaving Home and Penny Lane.

[Ketamine Disaster 0]

Yesterday, I'm So Tired, and Got to Get You Into My Life are all close.

We should spice up this thread a little by trying to predict each other's favorite Beatles songs. Then we can report on whether or not we were correctly guessed. Make a chain or something.

 

luke-o is a goofy-looking guy who likes a lot of crappy, but very quirkily British, artists. He's into horror movies, and probably irritates a lot of people with whom he surrounds himself. He's also a bit of a puzzling chap, so after all of that, his favorite Beatles song being "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" would just make way too much sense. Luke-o's favorite Beatles song is "What Goes On."

My favorite Beatles song is a George Harrison tune... can you guess which one?

Tomorrow Never Knows is a title that might fit you.

[Copper Feel 0]

That was written by John Lennon though.

[King Kamala 0]

I'm going to make a wild guess with "Piggies"

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Shoot. I got my titles mixed up. I'm thinking of Within You Without You.

[Guest Jesus Freaks on Coke]

Trick question. You don't like the Beatles.

 

King Kamala Classic likes things simple and piano-oriented. His favorite song is "Sexy Sadie."

 

Amnesia Glasscock relishes the opportunity to really rock out and play air guitar in his bedroom. His favorite: "Helter Skelter."

[MrRant 0]

Right now it's "Penny Lane" FTW.

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

Happiness is a warm gun.

Orchestral flourishes appeal to The Czech Republic, as he is well versed in classical music itself. He also has a strong pro-McCartney bias. His favourite song by The Beatles is "Eleanor Rigby".

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Czech, had I not shown my hand, what song would you have guessed?

[Nighthawk 0]

Trick question. You don't like the Beatles.

 

You know very well I do.

 

 

The correct answer was "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

Amnesia Glasscock relishes the opportunity to really rock out and play air guitar in his bedroom. His favorite: "Helter Skelter."

 

Not too far off, "Fixing a Hole" is my favourite.

 

I would have predicted "I am the Walrus" as being Milky's favourite Beatles song.

[King Kamala 0]

King Kamala Classic likes things simple and piano-oriented. His favorite song is "Sexy Sadie."

 

I'm indifferent towards that one. But your approach isn't terribly far off. My favorite is "For No One"

 

I could have sworn I heard Milky say his favorite Beatles song was "Fool On The Hill" but maybe I was confusing that with him saying that was the song that describes him the best.

alkeiper is a guy who appreciates solid craftsmanship, and that holds true for songwriting just as much as, say, a desk, or breast implants in a favorite porn star. His favorite song can't be some gimmicky George Harrison sitar shit, or John Lennon dicking around with tape loops. Nothing too fast, too slow, too short, or too long, just a good solid Beatles tune that can safely be anyone's favorite. "Let It Be."

 

I don't like "Sexy Sadie" either, and I do like "For No One" a lot. We could be twins.

[Nighthawk 0]

Your second statement was correct, Kamala, but I was speaking somewhat hyperbolically... but yes, while "Fool On the Hill" would likely be a good theme song for me, it's not even my favorite song on MMT. That would be "Strawberry Fields Forever".

Your reasoning is absolutely on the right track, though I personally am not a big fan of that particular song.

I want this to be a running thread, Czech guesses TSM regulars' favorite *insert legendary rock band* song. I may be the only who thinks this but this is the best thread to hit The Music Folder in weeks if not months.

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

I would also like to see that.

[Nighthawk 0]

As long as it involves someone talking about me, I'd like to see it.

[Smartly Pretty 0]

That could be pretty funny.

If anything, it sounds like it'll do better than my big planned thread for tonight, "Great Moments in Synthesizer History." Once you get past the opening of "Jump" and "Summer Madness" from about :40 to :55, then what?

[King Kamala 0]

How could you forget "Cars"!?

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

We need a new thread titled "Czech tells you what you like" or something like it.

[Guest Jesus Freaks on Coke]

How could you forget "Cars"!?

I don't like that song. "The Final Countdown" would be on there (all of it!), as well as the snippet of Paul Lansky's seminal composition "Mild und Liese" which ultimately gave birth to Radiohead's "Idioteque."

[King Kamala 0]

I didn't take that into consideration. I figured you didn't like Prince, otherwise I would have listed "1999"
