In My Life is a simple song with nice sentiment.  Not a bad choice at all.

I have a particular thing for "All You Need is Love", though, because of The Prisoner's final episode:

A day in the life is their best track!


Ridiculous! Revolution 9 is one of my favorite things the Beatles ever did. It's a very enjoyable listen for fans of experimental music/musique concet like myself.

^  I too have a personal thing about ;All You Need is Love' .  It was one of only two popular singles owned by my departed Uncle (The others were all trad jazz.  (The other 'pop' single was a Bob Dylan one 'The Times they are'  I think.

But my sister and I when we were little played it to death, along with the B side 'Baby you're a Rich Man' which I love for some reason.  It's a little odd I think that's why so...
 
Not their best songs but actually 'All you Need is Love' is very Beatles in many ways too.

I'm guessing you two didn't end up being rich men but if you had some fun with music you were most certainly enriched.

Ermm They have more than one style, and many great & essential songs, so that's not easy.
 
A favourite track would be "A Day In the Life."
 
In order to broaden the scope, if I can cheat a bit I'd nominate the entire side two suite from Abbey Road as "one" song/track. Tongue

While it's not my favorite or necessarily the "best", the "most Beatles" song is probably Rain. Love that track.

It would be if there was actually a Beatles song of that title.

Good call - both Lennon and McCartney wrote and sung sections of this song - and it's a cracker.
