And I Love Her gets my vote.

Gotta mention two great covers, though:

I've Just Seen a Face


Help! is such a great album. Really, anything on that is a solid choice (except Act Naturally). I think Help! is right up there with the band's best albums, I'd slot it only behind Abbey Road.

Yesterday is the only correct answer here.

Help! is a close second.

I'd have a top 3 of I Feel Fine, Help!, and Ticket to Ride. Which is interesting because those are all three John Lennon songs.

Paul wrote much better music compared to John in the late 60s but John had the edge in the early 60s. John got way too experimental and Revolution 9 can never be unheard.

I agree with this.

I'm a big fan of the Lennon material in the early-mid 60s but became a huge fan of the McCartney and Harrison material in the late 60s.
