[That Announcer]

OK, another pointless Top 5 survey. What are your 5 favorite Beatles songs? Mine are:

1) The Ballad of John and Yoko
2) Ticket to Ride
3) Maxwell's Silver Hammer
4) Lady Madonna
5) Eleanor Rigby

As an added bonus, what are your 5 favorite Beach Boys songs? Here's mine:

1) God Only Knows
2) Sloop John B
3) Big Sur (off their 'Holland' album)
4) 'Til I Die
5) Help Me, Ronda (the harmonica version)

 

[Princeton]

1. Let It Be
2.Lady Madonna
3.Elenor Rigby(my theme song)
4.Baby You Can Drive My Car
5. Octopuses Garden

 

[HeraLirambar]

This is gonna be tough.

In no order,

4. I am the Walrus
1. All you need is love
5. Because
3. While my Guitar Gently Weeps
2. Tie between Lovely Rita and Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite, depending on what mood I'm in

I don't know any Beach Boys songs, I don't think.

I'm terrible at picking favorites. But 5 of my favorites - perhaps not the actual top 5:

Let It Be
Hey Jude
Help!
When I'm 64
She's Leaving Home

Ugh. I need a top 50 list. The Beatles were so darn prolific! And most of their songs were really good!

As for the Beach Boys, my definite favorite two are
Kokomo (I actually prefer the Muppet version - and heard it first)
I Get Around (but I can't stand that Muppet version of this one)
I'm not sure what other three I'd put in there. Most of their songs sound kinda the same to me.

This is not going to be a top 5 for me, but's it's tracks 9 through 17 on the Abbey Road record, starting with You Never Give Me Your Money all the way down to Her Majesty.
