I quite like Two Of Us from Let It Be, although No Reply from Beatles For Sale is also a favourite.

Here's another clue for you all; the Walrus was Paul...

Well, if you mean what is the "best song that happens to be the first song on the album" than I would probably say "Come Together", 'cause some of the other tunes like "I Saw Her Standing There" are great songs but I don't think touch the originality and lyrical dexterity of "Come Together"...

If you mean "the best song fit for opening an album" I'd have to say "Back In The U.S.S.R."

It Won't Be Long from With the Beatles just sort of jumps out at you and catches you unaware. I like that!

McLennon-you're absolutely right. I have loved that countdown since I first heard it!
