Mull of Sodding Kintyre
. Right up there with the Sodding Frog Chrous eh?But seriously, songs like Penny Lane, Eleanor Rigby, Strawberry Fields. They still really work for me, and I've heard them 1000's of times.
Oh I remember one that gave me nightmares as a kid, 'Fool on the hill'. It makes me shiver now even thinking of it. Even Eleanor Rigby freaked me out, apparently she keeps her face in a jar by the door. This was 30 years before Silence of the Lambs

Re: The Beatles
and I like John Lennon solo - I really dont get how anyone can say he was useless. I love Woman, working class hero, imagine etc - I mean its class!
So hypocritical considering how he lived, totally colours it for me.

Re: The Beatles
I think it would be in my top 50 songs. I am a bit of an idealist too however my life definately doesnt represent that

Re: The Beatles
It matters not. Suffice to say, we have bands like Oasis cloning their work 30 years after they split. They changed everything.

Re: The Beatles
Love John Lennon, not so much as a singer, but lyrically he was a legend. Loved his 'Some time in New York City' album 
Hey Jude, I am the Walrus and Eleanor Rigby are my favourite Beatles tunes.

Re: The Beatles
Interestingly, those 3 songs that you quote were actually almost exclusively written by McCartney and not Lennon
