Since The Beatles used Epiphones' date=' I think this is o.k. to discuss. What is your favorite Beatles song(s)?

mine are Ticket to Ride and Nowhere Man.[/quote'] Hmmmmm......too many to list, so just a few off of my head - Across the Universe, In My Life, What Goes On, Girl, Oh Darling, She's Leaving Home, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, etc, etc, etc ..... hard to choose favorites when I love pretty much all of 'em :-k Oh, I mean, I especially love the songs they used Epihones while recording :P

One of the reasons that it is difficult for me to pick one is that there are so many of their songs that bring back memories of times in my life. I Want to Hold Your Hand has to rank up there because it was the first song of the Beatles that I heard and I was hooked. Incredible songs off of Rubber Soul, Abbey Road, The White Album, Magical Mystery Tour, Sgt Peppers, Let It Be...

When was the last Beatle song released? Stan.

IF you count Free as a Bird and Real Love, that would be 1994. The last one when all were together is a tough call because they weren't recorded in the same order that they were released. I vote for "The Long and Winding Road", which Paul wanted to be a ballad but Phil Spector morphed into a ridiculous song accompanied by an entire orchestra.

Impossible for me to answer.

 

I think I have everything they ever did, plus outtakes.

 

so I'm choosing outakes!

Stuff where they were still working on the song fascinate me.

 

Some have really sloppy guitar parts. only slightly resembling the finished recording. Some have different words.. works in progress.

the vocals and harmonys change.. the arrrangements are slightly different.

It's fun to see what they started with and what they wound up with.

 

There are only a bare few that I actually don't like, and only slightly at that, so how can I have any faves and still be honest?

 

Rock Band just got the deal for their tunes.. so they'll live yet again, and longer. viva Rock Band!

Best Beatle song to listen to:

"Glass Onion" - Casino or Strat on there, I think maybe a Strat (but at least three Epiphones were in the studio when this was recorded!)

 

Best Beatle song to play:

"Get Back" - since getting my Casino I have played this tune ten thousand times

Oddly' date=' I like some of the albums that they thought were their worst (Rubber Soul and the White Album). And "I Feel Fine" almost didn't get released at all. [/quote']

 

Jeffery, those two rank high on my list too. I use to have the white album on white vinyl, but someone stole it.

I can't choose only one song...but I could say the album ABBEY ROAD is my favorite... But again, I growed up with The Beatles and loved almost everything they did except a part of the "White Album"...especially Revolution number 9...

Lennon definitely had some issues during that song.
