What is the best Beatle Song

Jbullock: I find it absolutely amazing that songwriters as young as Lennon and McCartney were when they wrote "In My Life" could write lyrics that take on more and deeper meaning to me as I grow older. I would imagine that in Johnny Cash's case it would be especially poignant; I'll have to give it a listen. Thanks for bringing it up.

They are all the best. Each time of day may present a different outlook and hence a more poignant Beatles song..Tom

Everytime I listen to Jealous Guy I get goosebumps. Granted this was after the split, but Lenon really bares his inner feelings here. Listen to the lyrics. It took a lot to write this one. As far my favourite Beatles songs ... difficult to say. It really really depends on the mood I'm in and who I'm listening with. God its been YEARS since I've done a Beatles night.

I've always been partial to "Yesterday", although it may be more properly identified as a McCartney piece. Also on my list of favourite Beatles' tunes is "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"... 'cause its my name dammit and its the only Beatles tune my mom will admit to liking. Pathetic, I know. :-)

Could someone elaborate on what Cornfedboy was saying about 'Blackbird', cause that's another one I really like.

Paul wrote that song in the 60's when the civil rights movement was at its height. Blackbird is kind of a symbol for a black woman.
