Their most recorded track is Yesterday - so I guess that is their most famous song. Anyone else have opinions on this? :)

Endlessly debatable.....Yesterday is the most played/covered.....Hey Jude is their biggest single in the United States....I Want to Hold Your Hand was their biggest selling single worldwide...hard to tell really.

I could agree on Yesterday, but I can mentiion that after working in a kindergarden here in Norway, I have only knowingly encountered two children under seven who didn't know the refrain of Yellow submarine :)

yet your question did not specify children (tho I'm sure that is a good call on their behalf).

Yesterday, most likely.

No, of course :) My point was simply that if so many six year old in 2003 knows it (just like I knew it at that age back in '94) it's merely a possible indicator. I just mentioned how it had become an accepted children's song :)

Help! is pretty well known. It's been covered in movies as well as a commercial I think. But then all of the others mentioned are equally well known! Speaking of children, the first graders in my class can sing MANY of the Beatles early hits as well as a few of the later ones like All You Need is Love. Basically, Beatle songs are SO part of our culture it's hard not to know many of them by the time your 3! So how could you pick one thats most famous? That's hard!

I actually knew zero Beatles songs for quite a while....Aerosmith's cover of "Come Together" along with "Yellow Submarine" from my choir class were the first I got to know of them....and that was in fifth and seventh grade respectively.....I honestly hadn't heard more than five Beatles songs until 1 came out and my friend played it at a party once....and even then, I never heard them again until I purchased Abbey Road. So I guess it is possible for someone to listen to lots of rock music and somehow avoid them all together, as I never even heard an actual Beatles studio track until the year 2000.

EDIT: On a side note, I did hear "Free as A Bird" around the time the Anthology came out, but that was about it.

I agree with most of the people here, Yesterday is their most famous song.

Other well known songs are 'I saw her standing there','Twist and Shout', 'Hey Jude' and 'I want to hold your hand'

i wasn't around when the beatles were famous, i wasn't even born when john lennon died. i just grew up with my whole family listening to them and teaching me their music. the most popular ones i've heard people talk of are i wanna hold your hand & hey jude, but alot of the ones u guys mentioned are pretty popular too :)

I think the most popular - in these days/this generation - would be Yesterday, and Let it Be, and Hey Jude. (In that order)
