Which song do you prefer or which song was more influential?  These are two of my favorite songs. I like how both uses Avant structures with pop melodies.

Despite the greatness of ADITL, SFF is my favourite song of all time. Come on, two different versions of a song in different keys, one speeded up, one slowed down, both joined together so you can hardly tell where the join is.
Genius.

I love both songs and the outakes were cool too.   However, I find A Day In the Life to be more favored by my ears because of that crazy as hell breakdown.  Man I love it.  Also John's voice and words are so haunting.

A Day in the Life is hands down my favorite Beatles song. I remember hearing it and finally recognizing why The Beatles are so revered (at the time I was only familiar with their early material). I just love the melodies so much. Both are brilliant songs, though.

Both are amongst their best but I have a slight preference for A Day in the Life.

I can't really choose, both are two of my favorite Beatles songs, but I guess Strawberry Fields just because of the mellotron usage and pushing the instrument further into the public.

I'd say Strawberry Fields Forever, although A Day in the Life is a great song also
I'm enormously powerful and handsome

Very good question. Probably my favourite 2 by the Beatles. I'd just favour A Day in the Life. As for their influence, about even.
