[@rockingbirdey]

"Let It Be" isn't my favourite Beatles song - it's in my Top 10 but it's "In My Life" is my fav - but I think the last minute of "Let It Be" is among the finest recorded music ever made. Also, George's guitar solo on the album solo is just to die for.

[@kipperbill]

God this song is so fucking good. Definitely my favorite Beatles song. The harmonies during the verses ("on the world going by my window"), the expertly written backwards guitar solo, lyrics about a drug free psychedelic experience, Ringo's simple drum fills and cymbal clanging. Yep, it's goated.

[@Randomjackass135]

Dear Prudence will forever be my favorite. And Siouxsie Sioux’s cover is perfection

[@beatlemania8273]

I like how it follows Back in the USSR, one of their best rockers. The two songs pair greatly.

[@SURGASURGE12]

While My Guitar Gently Weeps is a perfect song. Easily my favourite. The soulful, uplifting melody, Clapton's fabulous guitar work, McCartney's piercing bassline, and of course, Harrison's excellent songwriting.

[@jeffdunn837]

Helter Skelter helped invent an entire genre, so that's one for me. Also love And Your Bird Can Sing, or almost anything else on Revolver.

it's the perfect song to close an album with. and i love how it's also like the closing track of their whole career, definitely the best way to end the beatles story 🥲

[@RingoWaters-kl4vo]

I think the fact that every beatle gets a solo on that track, even ringo, is such a cool touch

It's not lyrically deep or sonically innovative, but Back in the USSR is one of the best rockers, period. Kinda wish they did more of that stuff. Also the transition to Dear Prudence is great, giving the White Album one of the best openings in the Beatles discography.

Tomorrow Never Knows or Strawberry Fields

[@gclip9883]

Tomorrow Never Knows might be my favorite just because it so different from everything else - and not only when looking at the Beatles catalogue, but music as a whole. And i love the idea of that being the last song that people heard when they listened to Revolver in 1966, one year before psychedelic music blew up.

[@godnotavailable2094]

@@gclip9883 It really is such a unique song, there are very few songs in all of music that evoke such a mysteriously beautiful sound as that one. The title track on Children of God by Swans is another exception.

[@machiel5888]

Fantano's Beatles knowlege has always been sorely lacking. The drumming in Ticket to Ride alone is incredible. Just because it's early Beatles doesn't mean you should write it off.

[@davismorganadhd]

My personal fave is Happiness is a warm gun. It’s just so weird and catchy and cool sounding, but I think their best song is A Day in the Life. What an absolute masterpiece. John’s section at the start is bizarre and the piano chords that come in just before the verse are powerful. Then you get the orchestra buildup that creates so much tension only to have it be released with Paul’s catchy little section and then the AAAHS are so good. Literally a perfect song.
