    Well of course it changes every time I am asked, but here goes.


    Strawberryfield forever
    While my guitar gently weeps
    You know my name
    Here comes the sun
    For no one
    « One man's glory is another man's hell.
    You’re on the outside, never bound by such a spell.
    Together in the darkness, alone in the light.
    I took it upon me to be yours, Timmy,
    I’ll lead your angels and demons at play tonight......»

    mine always change, too. and i haven't been listening to them for awhile, but i will list 5 anyways.

    help! (the live version from anthology 2 is the only version i play. it's faster and lennon's vocals are killer. the best live performance they ever did, imo).

    two of us (i like the "new" version from 'let it be, naked')

    i want to tell you, one of my favorites by george.

    across the universe (it doesn't get any better than this)

    and your bird can sing. it's so catchy and i have no idea what it's about, so it's a little mysterious.

    Strawberry Fields Forever
    Tomorrow Never Knows
    She Said, She Said
    For No One
    And Your Bird Can Sing

    Edit: Just realised, I've posted on this thread before, and haven't read any other posts since. Funny how we're picking a lot of the same tunes! We must be in a Revolver-ish mood!

    Have any of you read "Revolution in the Head"? It's a musicological and social analysis of The Beatles' recorded output, detailing song by song. It's never pretentious and is always brilliantly insightful. It provides a really top-notch analysis of Across The Universe, and why it's not quite as good as it could be. I'd always loved that song before I read that passage, and it was the first time I realised that good music criticism serves a dialectical rather than rhetorical purpose, in advising quality. But then, quality music deserves quality criticism.

    Thanks, I think I'll remember the cover. Might have seen it before to. I have no credit card so ordering it is out of the question.
