Well I've recently gotten a renewed interest in The Beatles, and have been wondering; What are your favorite songs by them as a group? Top 3, or 5, whichever. Not a very easy question, and as I sit here I'm still figuring it out. To be honest I can't remember a lot of their songs I really liked off the top of my head right now.
Magical Mystery Tour - The driving drums and overall happy-go-lucky aura of this tune have made it a favorite of mine ever since I was a child.
8 Days A Week - One of the first songs I ever learned to play on my acoustic when I was 12. I love the lyrics as well. A great karoake tune.
She Loves You Ya Ya - Had a lot of fun playin this one in my grade 8 band. One of those songs that I sing at the top of my lungs, and just puts me in a great mood.

Hmmm.. I'll try and narrow it down to a few.
Revolution- It's got a good motivational feel to it with a great beat. I find myself singing it a lot.
Hey Jude- How can you not like this song? This is probably my favorite.
Get Back- Same as Revolution
We Can Work it Out- First heard this on The Wonder Years and I've loved it ever since. Definitely my second favorite.
Come Together- Mainly for the base line but McCartney's singing is cool too.

First off the album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is a masterpiece in its entirety, but the top tracks are: A Little Help from My Friends, When I'm Sixty-Four, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, and Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite.
My non-Sgt. Pepper top 5, as follows Yesterday, Eleanor Rigby, Strawberry Fields Forever, Let It Be, and While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Nine in the Afternoon has to be one of my favorite Beetles song. It's so new and fresh.
Oh wait.
Strawberry Fields has always been a personal favorite, I'm not that big of Beatles fan, but I have always just found this song super catchy.

Oh man, this is gonna be tough:
You Never Give Me Your Money - Ever since I first heard it, its been my favorite Beatles' song.
A Day In the Life - This song sends shivers down my spine every single time I play it. The orchestral sections are so haunting and Paul's bridge sounds like a dream . . . and the orchestral buildups before it and after it are me going to sleep and waking up. John wrote some great lyrics, too.
Oh Darling - Paul screams his guts out. Awesome.
We Can Work it Out - My favorite song from the "early" era.
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) - I have to chuckle at the last line of this song every time.

I was actually thinking of making a thread like this today.
My favourite Beatles songs are A Day in The Life, Strawberry Fields Forever, Revolution and I am The Walrus. All of them are insanely catchy and memorable, and if you hadn't realised, I'm a big fan of Lennon.

I like many of the Beatles songs and I am quite sure that they have had enough hit songs to have their own genre D:
1. Yellow Submarine- My all-time favorite, catchy tune, easy to remember lyrics, I love it
2. Come Together- Very good lyrics and good tune
3. We Can Work It Out- This is probably the very first Beatles song I ever remember listening too and I still love it today

Let It Be - Awesome song, very easy to listen to several times.
While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Great guitar playing.
With Love From Me To You - Not much to say, quite a catchy tune.
I don't really know that many Beatles songs, but Let It Be is one of my favourite songs generally.

Eleanor Rigby
Up until this post I was amazed that no one had mentioned that song yet. I'm actually listening quite a lot to the Beatles at the moment, and this is my current favourite. Along with that, my favourites would be Help, Let It Be, Yesterday, We Can Work It Out, She Loves You, Yellow Submarine, All You Need Is Love and Can't Buy Me Love.
Honestly though, it's really hard to pick favourites of such an amazing wealth of excellent songs.

Hmm lets see. These are in no particular order
Let it be: The message it sends through the lyrics are really inspiring. And the piano is really nice
A day in the life: I don't know why I like it it is just cool
Girl: Same as A day in the life
I get High with a little help from my friends: I like the lyrics
Help!: I like the lyrics and the bass line is cool
All my Lovin': Great song the bass is really ahead of its time and I really like the vocals and the guitar
There are lots of others I really like but Baby Blue Boi said top 5 and I said six so I will stop there.

I don't really have any favorite songs, but rather my favorite album is Sgt. Peppers so I guess you could say every song on there.
