Strawberry fields forever for me too - though it was a hard decision. At first, I couldn't stand I am the walrus, but it's one of those songs I've really grown into. Still, Strawberry... I liked from the start
You can have my love, you can have my smiles. Forget the bad parts, you don't need them. Just take the music, the goodness, because it's the very best, and it's the part I give most willingly.
I also loved how FREAKING COOL I Am The Walrus sounded, so it got my vote. I really thought Strawberry Fields was going to destroy Walrus in this poll, but it doesn't seem that way.
I love these songs equally, they're exactly as great. But come on, folks - choose one! It's not like you're going to be put in front of a firing squad or the master tapes are going to burn up if you try!
But actually, that's the only way I could choose! The only way I was able to force myself to pick was to ask, "IF I could only have one song, and the other had to disappear from all recorded memory, which would it be?"
And, by the half of a pubic hair, I pick STRAWBERRY FIELDS.
I remember the first time listening to I Am The Walrus. Back then, I didn't know a thing about The Beatles going studio and ending their touring, so when I heard the song, I went, "What the hell is going on?! I Am He as You Are Me? WTF?" Never heard anything like that in my life
