    Ten favorite songs:
    1. Something

    3. I Am the Walrus
    4. You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
    5. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
    6. Eleanor Rigby
    7. Blackbird
    8. Yesterday
    9. I Want to Hold Your Hand
    10. Here Comes the Sun

    And this list is ever changing.

    My Entertainment Weekly from a few weeks back did the 50 best Beatles songs. It'll be fun to go through later on.

    It is great too, because the younger generations are rediscovering the Beatles too.

    Sadly in the the UK charts though, Dame Vera Lynn beat the Beatles to the number 1 slot, which reasserts my thoughts that the Fab 4 were always much bigger in the US than the UK.

    "Mr. Moonlight" would actually be my pick for least favorite song of the "official" 1960's releases. It's not bad, but it feels like indifferently-performed filler. By contrast, "Revolution 9" at least gets points for trying to do something original.

    I concur Dabob. I concur.

    Maybe it's because I was a huge fan of Harrison.
