The Toppermost of the Poppermost

People always moan when a magazine or website runs some witless, space-filling, cheap attention-grabbing Best Ever Beatles Songs poll. But not me! I like witless, space-filling, cheap attention-grabbing Best Ever Beatles Songs polls and I’m going to do one of my own. Post your top five in the comments section down there. I’ll start the ball rolling:

1) Eleanor Rigby
2) Tomorrow Never Knows
3) Strawberry Fields Forever
4) Paperback Writer
5) Long, Long, Long

Results will be posted as soon as I can be bothered to collate them. Depends how many people vote, really. I reserve the right to discount stupid/"comedy" votes as I see fit.

16 comments:

  1. I'm guessing 'side 2 of Abbey Road' won't be allowed, so:

    1) Across the Universe;
    2) Hey Bulldog;
    3) You've Got to Hide Your Love Away;
    4) Eleanor Rigby;
    5) A Day in the Life.

  8. Nobody's said 'Rain'! So I'm going to say 'Rain'. And - off the top of my head - 'Day in the Life', 'Strawberry Fields', 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. Blimey, they're all John songs. So let me add 'Eleanor Rigby'.

  9. Paperback Writer
    In My Life
    You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
    Ticket to Ride
    Here Comes the Sun
    Rain

    Yes, that's six, but Daragh is right - Rain is brilliant. I really think ten would be easier to pick.

    I'd say Dear Prudence but I prefer the Siouxsie Sioux version.
