Dang! Brilliant tune. Tho' I forgot Here Comes The Sun, the guitar intro has to be one of the most beautiful bits of music ever.

Very true.

The Beatles is one of those few bands where they have so many of my favorite songs that I often forget the greats.

1. Penny lane b/w Strawberry fields - the greatest single in Pop history
2. A Day In The Life - stunning close to Sgt Pepper
3. I Saw Her Standing There - Beatles opening track on first album sets the bar and proves bands can write their own rock'n'roll
4. Hard Days Night - the most recognised chord in pop music and a song that defined the era and the band
5. Happiness Is a Warm Gun - pure Lennon and a great piece of ensemble playing

To hard to really pick five from a band that defined a music genre in 7 short years of recording.

Just saw Eleanor Rigby is joecoolfrog's list, how could I leave that out?

Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da

pretty much the most repetitive and addicting some ever from then.
