If I had to pick just one it would be Eleanor Rigby... It's a close call between that and Come Together though. The first time I heard Eleanor Rigby it made me cry.

Both good choices. Admittedly, I prefer 'Come Together' but so many of their songs are great :D

It's actually from 'Rubber Soul' (one of my favourite albums) and it's definitely one of the best songs from that album, alongside 'In My Life' and 'Drive My Car'. Great choice! :mrgreen:

They are both great songs, but Eleanor Rigby is my favorite.

Mine is When I'm 64. The song was one I have always used as a teacher, to lead students into poetry lessons.

I like the song for its simple, meaningful message and its sincere quest for commitment.

Great one! The orchestra in that was quite unusual for the group, but it fits beautifully and gives the album a nice crescendo. On that note:

This is completely different from the semi-orchestral song above, which really shows how much variety is in that one album. It reminds me a lot of 'Her Majesty' from 'Abbey Road. And I agree that it's wonderfully unassuming :)

My favorites from them are "The Ballad of John and Yoko" and "Norwegian Wood", though I can't say that I'd have ever listened to the latter had I not read the novel of the same name haha

My favorite is by far "You've got to hide your love away". I absolutely love that song.

That one reminds me of 'Blackbird' from the white album :)
