    Definitely.

    However, what about "Cumin Inside My Ear". It's a non released little diddy Ringo wrote in the early 1970's when while he was stoned, he dug deep and found a small piece of earwax that tasted like cumin.

    I didn't think any Beatles song could ever be considered esoteric by anyone. Except 'You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)'.

    What the hell, albums in order of excellence go as follows:

    Abbey Road
    Sgt. Pepper
    White Album
    Revolver
    Rubber Soul
    Magical Mystery Tour
    Hard Day's Night
    Let It Be
    Help!
    Please Please Me
    With the Beatles
    Beatles for Sale

    Yellow Submarine doesn't count.


    Oldies radio's the worst. Well, not as bad as KRBE, but bad.

    I wrote a little diddy called "Scratch n' Sniff." It is based on personal experiences. . .

    Man alive! I can name the year, album (where applicable) and (in most cases) track number of every song in this thread! You need to bone up on your latter day Beatles!

    I, on the other hand should have stopped before my brain turned to mush. But it's psychadelic-colored mush, so it's not so bad.

    Michelle.........I played guitar and sang it for a girl not unconcidentally named Michelle in high school, who bore a ever-so striking resemblance to a young Phoebe Cates. I scored that night, so needless to say, that is definitely my favorite. I guess all those years of playing guitar finally paid off!!!!

    Yeah...combination of reasons...I love the way John just rips his throat out, it's my salute to the early era which I largely ignore, and I loved when they sang it for the Queen, and at Shea. I think it would have been one of their better live songs, but you'd have to ask my *grumble* parents, who saw them 3 times between them...*grumble*...if that's true.

    Gotta go with Hey Jude. Any song that can be a touchstone to Earth in a Stephen King series gets my vote. Plus. it's just an excellent song.

    I can't pick one so:

    A Day In The Life
    Dear Prudence
    Helter Skelter
    Blackbird
    Eleanor Rigby
    In My Life

    Mrs. JB - Rocky Racoon? That's a fairly good song. Obadeobada (sp) - now that's an annoying song.

    Tough question, but if I had to choose one, it would be "If I Needed Someone" simply for George's electric 12 string Rickenbacker.

    Incidently I've got about 100 Beatles MP3 files. If there is one or two my BBS brothers out there need drop me an e-mail and I 'll send it to you. The best thing I can do for ya'll is give you more Beatles.

    You better hope John Ashcroft is a Beatle's fan!

    Are you saying you don't know the words to these songs?

    That is a tough call, and I'm not even that much of a Beatles fan.

    Twist and Shout
    Helter Skelter
    Eleanor Rigby
    Yesterday
    Day Tripper
    Revolution


    those are the ones that I'll listen to just about any time.
    the other ones are subject to being switched off if Im not in the mood for Beatles.

    Anyone said Because from Abbey Road? That's a good one too. It was used in the final credits sequence of American Beauty.
