No one likes "Yesterday" anymore?

Yesterday is damn good, just not in my top three.

"Yesterday" is one of the most overrated songs in music history.

My favorites are:
- While My Guitar Gently Weeps
- Norwegian Wood
- Eleanor Rigby

Close runners up include For No One, Something, In My Life, Mean Mr. Mustard, Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite, A Day in the Life, and many others.

Taxman, Hey Jude, Back in the USSR, in that order. Not a huge Lennon man, you can see.

Actually i think three was too few an amount to pick. It means i can't incluce most of the White Album. Bah!

Just out of interest has anyone else been to the Cavern Club in Mathew St?

I think "Yesterday" sucks as well (as an example of a song done by the Beatles). I guess Boyz-2-men will try to kick my ass now...

favorite Beatles:
1)Day in the life, 2) Abbey Road side 2 (one song, same theme throughout) 3)While My Guitar Gently Weeps

*Alternate #2 is Strawberry Fields*

1. Let it Be
2. Elanor Rigby
3. Yesterday tied with Hey Jude

Kinda hard to actually pick a favorite three.

None, I've always thought the Beatles were rather overrated.

Ick, I don't like that quote.

Um, I'd have to say mine are:

Got to Get You Into My Life
She's Leaving Home
The 'Mean Mr. Mustard/Polythene Pam/She Came In Through The Bathroom Window' medley

But there are about 12 other songs that could easily have been placed on this list instead of these three. This is just the top three for today.

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make...

It is. It's utterly boring compared to the rest of their repertoire.

And Zaia, good call with "She's Leaving Home". That song kicks ass.

The Aliens · Post by **The Aliens** » 2004-06-08 09:16pm

Hey Jude
Elanor Rigby
Yesterday

No particular order, but they're great songs, simple to play, and lovely to listen to.

EDIT: Fixed tags, because I can't step.

In Third:Yellow Submarine
In Second: Eight Days A Week
In First: Elanor Rigby

In an unrelated note I've got a friend who's a bit of a stoner, who, seriously, dosen't know who the beatles are, doesn't know who hendrix was and most obnoxious for someone who's a stoner, doesn't know who pink floyd is. WTF!!! Oh and she actually thought that weird al yankovich was a rap artist.

Damaramu · Post by **Damaramu** » 2004-06-08 09:30pm

Jeez......only 3?

Well here's the songs I can actually listen to over and over and never get sick of:

She Said, She Said
Rain
Nowhere Man

Man that was tough.....

Damn right - my personal favourite run is from Golden Slumbers to Her Majesty... but that's cheating... but I don't care

So, the top three:

- Golden Slumbers to Her Majesty
- Sgt. Pepper (family reasons)
- Hey Jude

Pppft! Those aren't Beatles songs.

Twist and shout, now that's a good song.

My second favorite Beatles song would have to be that one that isn't all overrated and overplayed... you know, that song.... with the guitar riff...
No wait, that wasn't a Beatles song.

Mlenk · Post by **Mlenk** » 2004-06-09 05:30am

2.Yellow Submarine
3. Love Me Do

I think it's extremely evil to ask for only 3 Beatles songs. It would be easier to choose 3 albums.

In My Life

Revolution 1

Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band <reprise>

Favorite Beatles cover: Mötley Crüe's version of Helter Skelter
