"Best Of The Beatles"--Your Personal Compilation
Last night, I reassembled Rubber Soul like the American Capitol release, which I personally like better than the British version. Then, I got to thinking, what songs would I select to compile a Beatles "best of" retrospective? With so much to choose from, its no easy task. Even at their worst, they were still pretty good.
I started thinking about different criteria: the most timeless songs, the watershed tunes that did something new for the first time, the most finely crafted songs, etc. I'm not sure it can be done, but lets say a 14 song compilation. How does this look? 1. She Loves You 2. I Want to Hold Your Hand 3. Ticket To Ride 4. Yesterday 5. In My Life 6. Girl 7. Taxman 8. Day Tripper 9. A Day In The Life 10. Strawberry Fields 11. Penny Lane 12. While My Guitar Gently Weeps 13. Something 14. Let It Be Like I said, its hard! I want it to be a double album! So, whats your best of? Help me figure this out...

That's really hard! I don't think I would ever be satisfied with a list I would have to make myself? Something (not the song) would always be missing?
There is a compilation album of the Beatles called "Love Songs" I do like though! It seems to flow quite nicely like it should be that way,  Side one "Yesterday" – 2:03 "I'll Follow the Sun" – 1:47 "I Need You" (George Harrison) – 2:27 "Girl" – 2:30 "In My Life" – 2:24 "Words of Love" (Buddy Holly) – 2:12 "Here, There and Everywhere" – 2:22 Side two "Something" (Harrison) – 2:59 "And I Love Her" – 2:28 "If I Fell" – 2:18 "I'll Be Back" – 2:20 "Tell Me What You See" – 2:35 "Yes It Is" – 2:38 Side three "Michelle" – 2:40 "It's Only Love" – 1:55 "You're Going to Lose That Girl" – 2:16 "Every Little Thing" – 2:01 "For No One" – 1:58 "She's Leaving Home" – 3:33 Side four "The Long and Winding Road" – 3:37 "This Boy" – 2:11 "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" – 2:01 "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" – 2:07 "I Will" – 1:44 "P.S. I Love You" – 1:59

Ticket to Ride
Drive my Car If I needed Someone Run For You Life I Want to Tell You Getting Better (he couldn't get much worse) Happiness is a Warm Gun Why Don't We Do it in the Road (no one will be watching us) Except Me and My Monkey Come Together Two of Us I Got a Feeling One after 909 Get Back I always loved the Aerosmith version of "Come Together" Aerosmith - Come Together After giving it some more thought, I have to dump "Why Don't We Do it in the Road", and replace it with the flip side of the "Let It Be"... "You know my Name, Look up the Number" Let's hear it for Denis O'Bell!!! Last edited by Pete Galati; July 5th, 2007 at 03:52 PM.. |

Man, this is too hard. One of my musical endeavors is a Beatles cover band, so I routinely play most of the songs listed already. I love just about every Beatles song, so instead of my 14 faves, I'll list 5 songs that always get a huge, unexpected positive reaction from the audience:
I Call Your Name Wait I Want to Tell You If I Fell I'll Be Back None of these tunes are necessarily in the upper echelon of Beatles songs, but whenever we play them, time and time again people seem to just love them. In fact, all five are now in the set list permanently. |

Dang! I forgot one that for some reason I think is one of the best little rockin' songs the Beatles ever did: 'I'm Down". Now I gotta knock something off my list! (or go for the double album.)

Amazing--every compilation looks great in this thread--and they are all different. Interesting...
For me, its very hard to gain objectivity on the Beatles because their music was the soundtrack to my teenage years. I was 13 in 64 and 18 in 69. How do you separate the cultural phenomenon of the Beatles from the music when you lived through the times? Funny that the music still holds up to my ear. I've heard most of these songs at LEAST hundreds of times, yet I never seem to get tired of hearing them. And now I have a bunch of personal compilations of Beatles that I want to do for my own amusement: 1. Beatles "cover" songs--that they didn't write themselves. 2. The obligatory all John, all Paul, all George and all Ringo comps. 3. All "B"sides 4. "Rockin" Beatles 5. Experimental Beatles

I Can't Do It
There are just too many great songs to trim it down to just 14, but I'll list a few that I really like:
Cry For a Shadow There's a Place Little Child I Should Have Known Better I Don't Want to Spoil the Party Ticket to Ride I'm Looking Through You Rain Tomorrow Never Knows A Day In The Life Dear Prudence Yer Blues Old Brown Shoe Here Comes the Sun And I've run out of spaces WAY before I ran out of great songs to list... Great thread. Cassady |

"Get Back" (john's lead fills on the Epi Casino!) "Drive My Car" "Nowhere Man" (i think the solo is John & George in unison on their new matching Stratocasters) "Back in the USSR"
