Heavens! How do I pick favorites? I like most of them!
All My Life, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Across the Universe, Nowhere Man (always puts a wry smile on my face), Norwegian Wood, Blackbird, all of Revolver, all of Sergeant Pepper, all of Mystery Tour, 70% of White Album ... and on and on.
It'd be easier to pick out the very few I don't like.

Rolling Stones, Crosby Stills & Nash, Simon & Garfunkle, Joan Baez, The Who. Even though I was a reluctant JW teenager in the 60s, I still consider myself a flower child wannabe. And I was at Woodstock -- the day before the concert began. Long story.
Peace, brother. -

Between Revolver and Abby Road is pure gold for me.
Too many songs to count.
Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, Within You Without You, She's Leaving, I'm Only Sleeping, She Said He Said, I Am the Walrus, Blue Jay Way, Fool on the Hill, Day in the Life, Come Together, Here Comes the Sun, Taxman, etc. etc.

We just can not let this thread die. As I read through your posts, I feel a connection to each of you and it's all because of the Four Lads. Would we all agree, music is the Greatest Gitf. My musical taste runs the field from classical to jazz to blue grass but the Fab Four hold the most impact. All my children, ages 29 - 32 are Beatle Fans also. They all have a CD collection almost a big as their dad and I.
Mr Flipper, I hope that one day we can meet for a Beatle Fest, wouldn't that be a hoot. I too love Beatle Trivia. Several people noted George's 'Something' as a favorite. Did you know Frank Sinatra once said 'Someting' is one of the best love songs ever written' He recorded it in his style but George comes through.
Our son gave us tickets to Pauls concert a few years back, $200ea, very nice. It was just after George died and he did a salute with all his songs, very touching. Another little known fact is that George was a great Ukulele player.
Thanks for a lovely weekend of recalling Beatle fond memories. 'In My Life' people come and go but my friends the Beatles will remain.
May Peace be with you all

AK JEFF- Rocky Raccoon. A good satirical song ! Now we gotta go , " help with good Rockies revival " ! LOL!
TINKER - Music indeed is the greatest gift ! My 3 adult children 23, 21 and 19 also grew up loving the Beatles music. One Christmas gift I bought recently for my son was the " Abbey Road " CD. He loved it ! Very nicely said by you that although friends come and go - The Beatles still remain our friends. I feel that as well as I grew up listening to them constantly ! Perhaps we could meet up some time ! I will PM you some information about a gathering my wife and I are doing ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
