Location: Indiana | This is really tough. I'm gonna stay with my original thought, although reading all your answers made me think. For song it's gonna be "Nowhere Man". Close second "I Feel Fine". My favorite album will be Abbey Road which IMO, contrary to a lotta critics(experts), is the best album ever, period. But Rubber Soul sure is good, too. All in all, I really love all their stuff, early to late. Can ya tell?

For those of you in the band that don't know what we're doing, . . . this is that "A minor" . . . but it's not Standard Blues Changes . . .
Wasn't that the "extra disc" that came with "SomeTime in NewYork"?? |

Location: Cicero, NY | I was a Beatles fan (not a crazy one but they did make some great music so I still am) and really appreciated both Lennon and McCartney for what they brought individually and together but I could not BEAR to listen to one Ono era album all the way through. Just physically impossible for me. |

Actually, I think more of the fact that I grew up under an environment of Elvis, Buddy Holly, Big Bopper as well as 40's period swing-big band music. The Beatles and later British music was just not something that played in the house...period!
Call it childhood conditioning :D |

Then came the Motown sound my cousin down the street was into and it wasn't until I was at least 12 or 13 before I even heard of the Beatles. By that time ('72 or so), it was pretty much over. |

Location: Huntington Beach, CA | Best beetle song? That would be "tveet, tveet...CRUNCH!" Oh, you said Beatles! Let's see, While My Guitar Gently Weeps is good, but wait, that's a Clapton song! I guess Across the Universe and, no, not because of the movie.
Best Beatle album would be Abby Road.
Did anyone come up with Revolution #9 as a favorite???

Impossible for everyone I think. So I have some qualifiers...
Song -- I'd most want to see them play live: "Don't Let Me Down" (and lady sb thinks this is the sexiest rock song ever made ;) )
Song - My favorite: "Don't Let Me Down"
Song - I play in the band and at any guitar circle: "Rain"
Song - Covered by the Grateful Dead on some concert tape I heard on Lone Star Dead: "It's All Too Much"
Album - My favorite: "Hey Jude" (of which the two first songs listed are on!)
Album - First LP I bought with my own hard earned cash: "Abbey Road" (my two brothers and I had pooled money to by our first LP several years before: "Herman's Hermits Greatest Hits"! ;) )
I realized at some point in time most of my favorite Beatles somgs are George Harrison penned ones...
