Blackbird is probably my favourite song by The Beatles ever.

What's yours?

You can tell who's singing lead? Whoa. I was never able to do that, unless it's painfully obvious (I can tell that John Lennon's singing Imagine :P).

Understandably, they're awesome. I'd definitely consider taking them to a deserted island.

Paul has a great singing scream, John's scream is primal, George's voice is sweet and Ringo has a voice that's so fun and pure that it's hard not to smile. It's bouncy. I recommend you listen to Yellow Submarine, A Little Help From My Friends and Octopus's Garden. Bouncy!

Oh. Yes. This is fantastic. I adore A Day in the Life. I'd call it my second favourite, though there are so many brilliant ones. Purely affective reaction, hm... Without going back to check my CDs: "All My Loving", "A Day in the Life", "And I Love Her", "While My Guitar Gently Wheeps", "Elanor Rigby", "Lady Madonna"... there are more, I think. And I like all the famous ones, too, obviously. One just hears them so often that they lose in comparison to the other, special ones. Or so it seems.

From a perspective of musical analytic interest, I'd have to say "Because" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" rank among the top ones.

And I actually have favourites in terms of lyrics with the Beatles. I have that nowhere else. My ever favourite Beatles lyrics have to be "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window", "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", and "Her Majesty".
I don't like most Rock 'n Roll things they've done, I have to say. Much of the wilder stuff isn't really much to my taste.
