My favorite Beatles songs are the ones that I hear next, out of the blue.
Posted on 1/17/23 at 10:47 am to midnight1961
Let it Be
Here Comes the Sun
Strawberry Fields Forever
You Never Give Me Your Money (If that means the Abbey Road Medley, so be it)
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Something
Paperback Writer
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Come Together
A Day in the Life
(There are about 20 others vying for spots, so day-to-day as many as 5 of these could be swapped out for others, but if it is today, this is the 10.)

You all may want to pick up this book. I've had it for years and it's still my favorite bathroom reading
. Chapters for each album, than a page or two describing the inspiration and process of writing each song. Over 200 photos too.

I'm kind of surprised that Blackbird only showed up twice in this thread.
To me, it's one of the highlights of The White album.

This Boy
(Surprised it hadn’t been on a list yet; my favorite by far. Amazing to hear a decent live recording of the harmonies and John’s heart-rending middle eight.)
Rest in no order, obviously slanted to the older stuff:
You’re Going to Lose That Girl
She Loves You
And I Love Her
Nowhere Man
You Can’t Do That
Oh! Darling
No Reply
Please Please Me
I’m Happy Just To Dance With You
Yes It Is
Ok, eleven total. There could be 100.
Honorable mention to make an even dozen:
Get Back (single) because it was the first record I ever bought, when it came out in 1969. I still have it.

Lennon wrote the majority of it. Probably about a 70-30 or 60-40 split.
I actually can’t stand that people attribute songs to one another, particularly before the white album. I guess it’s because Paul and John both did it them selves but they would always be like “yeah that was John’s song I think I wrote the middle 8”. But they basically always writhe the middle 8 for eachother- from their point of view it may just be polishing up a song mostly written but for the listener it was always significant and added color/texture that made the Beatles who they were.
I never noticed them saying they helped George with his middle 8 parts
