A Day in the Life came immediately to my mind before reading the posts.

A Day in the Life for sure. I still think of I Want You (She's So Heavy) first when I think of the beatles though. Maybe because I'm a fusion junkie.

Lies, he only tells the truth, for he means it,
means, not anything he says, eyes unseen,
but everything is ........

To stamp The Beatles, I'd surely say She Loves You, since it contains their trademark Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

Candidates:

Help - A Lennon song more in the McCartney style. Really some of their best songs are the early, happier Lennon sung tunes that actually feel like true collaborations.

We Can Work It Out - McCartney song with Lennon bridge that is much less cut and paste than Day in the Life (which is lauded for the same reason though reversed)

The two sided single of Penny Lane / Strawberry Fields really is the ultimate for me. The balancing point between their experimentation and pop sensibilities, both band leaders, psychedelia. Brilliant.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Yeah, but the guy asked for The song. It's your second candidate. "Work It Out was a single, where most of the lad's most adventurousness could be found, had great harmonies, and was quite mature for its time and the group's catalog up to that point. It makes me yearn for that time everytime I hear it (I was still under 10 when it came out).

I'm not a Beatle fan at all!

Heard it a lot too much when I was young.

My thought!

But I still prefer the cover version of Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel.

He still plays it live with a lot of power.

Impossible. One of the striking characteristics of The Beatles was the way they could adapt to almost any style and bring freshness and originality to it.

That says it all. You probably don't realise it, but everything you've heard since is based on the same thing.

Damn straight compadre, Penny Lane was the first song I can remember as a child of 5 while playing with my toy cars. I used to think the creators of these wonderful sounds were little tiny men who lived inside the wireless.
(Oh lordy I've said too much?....)

Plus it's got that Bach trumpety thing on it to boot...
