PeacefulWarrior,
Of course I'm old enough to remember when the Beatles were first starting out (yikes!![:(]) . There seems to be a Beatle song for every mood and occassion. Favorites include a lot of the songs that George Harrision either wrote or both wrote and performed that showed his spiritual side such as: Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth); My Sweet Lord; and other Harrison songs like While My Guitar Gently Weeps and of course Something. The list goes on: In My Life is a great Beatle song, but I'll stop here as I'm sure plenty of people can give you some other good ones.
Very best,
helter skelter!
Thanks! I got all of those!
There really are too many good songs to even chose.. but here are some of their good ones.
Yesterday, fool on the hill, strawberry fields, norwegian wood, All you need is love, dont let me down (might be john lennon solo), Michelle, nowhere man, revolution, help, let it be..
"blackbird" is my favourite.
Bungalow Bill!!!!!!
Just had to mention it, since its been on my mind for some reason. Noone talks about that song for some reason, but I think its cool. :)

Another good one is Imagine, although that would be a post-Beatle John Lennon song. There is a great CD for sale (here in the States anyway) called Lennon Legend that has some great songs.
Very best,
anything from the Abbey Road album, especially Maxwells silver hammer!
p.s I am not old enough to remember the beatles when they were around!
also, perhaps as well as the Beatles you should consider Pink Floyd, My favourite album was The Wall, but the much hyped Dark Side of the Moon is also very good, and aledgedly, if you play it backwards while watching the wizard of Oz, there is some kind of correlation... or something like that anyway.
Hi Peaceful... a few of my favorites are The Ballad of John and Yoko, Don't Let Me Down, Let It Be, Oh Darling, As My Guitar Gently Weeps, Across the Universe, Here Comes the Sun, and Hey Jude.
Lysear- yes, Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon played (but not backwards!) with The Wizard of Oz does create some amazing syncronicities. To get the timing right, you start the album right when you hear the third roar of the MGM lion at the beginning of the movie, turn the volume of the movie down, and sit back and enjoy the ride.
I've heard some rumors about Meddle going along with 2001: A Space Odessey but never tried it myself and not sure if it works.

Thanks! I have made a list and am getting all of these songs (you know, I just reached a point where I was stuck in a musical rut...I have so much music I love, but I wasn't finding anything new, and although I know many Beatles songs, I knew there were many I didn't know...so thanks!)
I'm only Sleeping off Revolver is one of my favorites and also Sun king/Mean Mr. Mustard/Polythene Pam/She came in through the bathroom window" from Abbey road (I consider it one song because they really can't be seperated like Brain Damage and Eclipse on DSOTM by Floyd). Regaurding Floyd, I believe the full albums are the best way to because the songs usually flow into each other so well.

No question about it, you should incluye Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, and Yellow Submarine.

"In My Life" is one of my favs.
I am putting together some new CD's to listen to in my car and want to know which Beatles songs are the best...
