   What is your favourite Beatles song?
   
   Personally, as a modern age Beatles fan, I think "Day Tripper" and "Let it Be" are some of their greates tunes. So, "Day Tripper" is my favourite amongst favourites.
   
   What about you?

      My favorite is "When I'm 65." Why? Well, it reminds me of what I am going to get when I hit 65. The lyrics is "Will you forget me...when I'm 65" is a sobering reality for some folks when they get old.

      They have so much great music, I can't pin any singular tune down. I much prefer their earlier music.
      
      And I gues, "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is a favorite, too.

   Strictly speaking, 'Imagine' and 'My Sweet Lord' are not Beatles songs, as they are songs that were recorded after the Beatles broke up.
   
   Such nitpicking aside, some of my favourites include:
   
   This Boy
   Nowhere Man
   Strawberry Fields Forever
   Yes It Is
   Run For Your Life
   While My Guitar Gently Weeps (the newly orchestrated demo version from 'Love')

   Norwegian Wood, Fly, Black, The Long and winding road, Know what this question is not even close to being fair...there are just to many, But without a doubt one of the greatest song writers in the world. Most of their songs revolved around mostly Love. And that to me is more than most bands have done.
   Especially the Stones which to my surprise are for the most part still living> Unbelievable.

    Favorite novelty song (if you like the novelty songs -- or if you don't say so)
