It's odd because their music doesn't do much for me but I'm fascinated by photographs of them and the history of them. A couple of years ago I went to Abbey Road studios and it was probably the most moving moment of my life.

Well I like them a lot, but to give you a favorite song, pfff, I wouldn't know. But I'm quite fond of Rocky Raccoon .

Rocky Raccoon is badass, off the White Album. an unfinished 'Western' song that McCartney wrote. It kind of represents the fractured White Album, where nothing was really finished, noting really gelled to make one definitive sound to make a great album. That's why the album comes off with almost no flow--some great songs, but some songs that should have never made a Beatles album.
My favorite song by the Beatles is probably "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
my mom just bought a two beatles CDs. one is all there number on hits and the other is a double disc and it has all there songs from 1967-1970. I listen to them all the time........oh, boy I just love the beatles!!!!!!
The greatest hits compilations and past masters and whatever else compilations they decide to have are fine and all, but The Beatle's music is best listened to in the original context--except The White Album, that album is so disjointed, it really doesn't have a theme.
But hearing a song from Abbey Road out of context...just seems weird.
My mum got into trouble by saying she liked to look at the Beatles, but listen to the Stones... oh, and just to make you jealous.... 45rpm, black vinyl, "love me Do..." performed by lennon, McCartney, Harrison and best... The Quarrymen.... and I have it in my collection....
