Hmm... Let It Be is my favorite Beatle song of all time, but I gotta pick Hey Jude for its awesome crowd-uniting features and incredible anthem.

Quoted from Herecomesyoursun
Hey Jude is his masterpiece, that is perfect songcrafting.

Sandra, I'm interested to see that you view A Day in the Life as Johns masterpiece.  What made the song so brilliant was the collaboration of Paul.  His bit, and the bridges between it (courtesy of George Martin), as well as the "I'd love to turn you on" lyric, are what make it a great song.  I definately wouldnt call this a John song.  In my opinion, Strawberry Fields Forever is his masterpiece.  Pure John, pure brilliance.


What makes that song to me are the haunting vocals by lennon and that melody. I know it's a collaboration, but I never really cared for Paul's part. Any of these songs are collaborations in some way except for Yesterday. I also think I Am the Walrus and Across the Universe are masterpieces by John. I know I'm supposed to love Strawberry Fields, but I just don't. The lyrics are beautiful though. Revolution is also an amazing song. Not to mention a million others. But A Day in the Life for me is the greatest song ever and I mostly relate it to John.

Hey Jude....I think Helter Skelter is a hard rock gem which gets overlooked during his Beatles days while Yesterday is overrated.

There's a sentence I never thought I'd hear.


You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.
