At our annual family reunion this year (on my mom's side), we played Rock Band II and Beatles Rock Band. I've always been kind of a fan of the Beatles, but actually "playing" these songs really made me like them. So, I figured there must be Beatles fans here as well. So, here's what I want to know: 1. Favorite Beatle 2. Favorite song(s) Here are mine. 1: Favorite Beatle: John Lennon. I find his post-Beatles career to be better than everyone else's. 2. Favorite songs: "Come Together" (I love the bass line in this song and it's just so sweet)

"Get Back"

"Ticket to Ride"

"Revolution"

"You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"

"Helter Skelter"

"Let It Be" (yes, I know it's not really a religious song, but it's still pretty)

"I Feel Fine" For the record, I really don't care for the weird songs, like "I Am the Walrus". They took waaay too many drugs to come up with songs like that.

I don't have a favourite Beatle, to be honest. I like all of them.

My favourite song is "Lady Madonna", which I can play on the piano. It also has a great saxophone part (which I believe was performed by the incomparable Ronnie Scott).

I am hardly a Beatles "lover" but I do like Sgt. Pepper.

It's a bitchin' album.

Favorite Beatle, I'd say John.

Lemon and McDonalds both are/were egoists. Not a fan of either. George and Ringo are too low-key for me to notice their contribution. So yeah.

Favorite songs:

  • Eleanor Rigby
  • Yellow Submarine
  • Help!
  • Back in the USSR
  • Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
  • Glass Onion
  • Helter Skelter
  • Norwegian Wood
  • Penny Lane

That's about it, not a real Beatles fan. I know most of these from a compilation.

I like Mc Cartney better. Great bassist, knows his way around an orchestra, total musical boss. Sadly, he had to deal with a lot of shit, so he is always seen as the narcissist in the group, but eh, who cares?

Songs: Abbey Raod. The whole thing. It is nothing but awesome music. And Sgt Pepper has its highlights, but eh, I don't like it that much.

Favorite songs:

  • Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (reprise)
  • Tell Me What You See
  • Octopus' Garden
  • Yesterday
  • Penny Lane
  • While My Guitar Gently Weeps

  • You Like Me Too Much

All of which subject to change.

Favourite Beatle: If you mean solo career then John. If it's work within the Beatles then Paul. If you mean personality wise then George I guess.

Favourite songs: We can work it out, Revoloution no9, Rocky Racoon, Day Tripper, Taxman, Helter Skelter.

Ringo was the Beatle the Beatles liked best, and I see no reason not to agree. Favourite song, probably Maxwell's Silver Hammer, don't really have strong opinions.

1. Ringo for personality. 2. Getting Better All the Time Because Hey Jude I Want You/She's So Heavy Across the Universe I've Just Seen a Face I Feel Fine If I Fell A Day in the Life ...it'd be easier to list the songs I'm not extremely fond of.

I now sort of want to use "Getting Better All the Time Because Hey Jude I Want You" and / or "She's So Heavy Across the Universe I've Just Seen a Face I Feel Fine If I Fell A Day in the Life" as song titles.

1. Focusing on musical contribution, I like them all, but I'm gonna say George because 1) I really like All Things Must Pass, and 2) I'm one of those strange people who doesn't skip "Within You Without You" on Sergeant Pepper.

2. A Day In The Life, If I Fell, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, For No One (I've always found it weird but cool that Paul contributed both the two happiest songs on Revolver and the two most depressing ones).

1. George. He's awesome, and coincidentally I'm also a lead guitarist, I look like him, and I have a sitar...

2. Here Comes the Sun, I'm a Loser, Norwegian Wood, I Me Mine, Something, We Can Work It Out... it seems that with The Beatles I always find more songs that are better than I remember.

However, Rocky Raccoon cannot be forgiven.

I write pretty good fanfiction, sometimes.

1. Paul, because I seem to be the most like Paul among my friends who play music.

2. Favorite songs would be Hard Day's Night, Twist and Shout, Here Comes the Sun, Sgt Pepper, and the Abbey Road Medley.
