This is simple but effective...& a cover, the Beatles didn't write it...but anyway, it's my current fav:

Act Naturally:

I know some of you are gonna say your fav is Rain.

I Want To Hold Your Hand, the perfect song. I first heard it when I was 5 years old and immediately knew that music is going to be a big part of my life. Bass content: Paul plays bass chords on the "And when I touch you I feel happy inside..." part.

Can't pick just one. Rain IS the song that made me want to play bass. I love I'll Be Back, I'm a Loser, Once There Was a Way, Help, If I Fell, Baby Your a Rich Man, No Reply, Revolution........................... name one I just can't.

Tomorrow Never Knows.
As someone who makes a living playing bass in a Beatles tribute band my fave changes from time to time as I get tired of playing a song. "TNK" is one of my faves to play, using a capo of course. I enjoy playing Strawberry Fields Forever as there's only bass guitar for the first minute on the recording, after which I switch to a floor tom and play the "wild" drum overdub on the recording. Other ones I enjoy playing: I Saw Her Standing There, I Am The Walrus, Glass Onion, the Abbey Road "medley", and Yer Blues.

Hard to pick one. I always liked the odd ones. My fave has to go with "Eleanor Rigby", though. I consider it to be one of the earliest hits of prog, disguised as pop.

Others are "Can't Buy Me Love" (which they put on the Hey Jude release, and was great counterpoint to the new material), "And Your Bird Can Sing", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Taxman", "Drive My Car", "Hey, Bulldog" and others...

And perhaps the greatest Beatles bass line ever...

There are very few Beatles songs that I don't like, but some of my favorites that maybe (?) weren't as popular or well known are "I Me Mine," "Ballad of John & Yoko," and "Everybody's Got Something To Hide 'Cept For Me & My Monkey."

Oh yeah........... "and Your Bird Can Sing"

I like the Beatles and I especially like to listen to Sergeant Pepper's as a whole album. But I prefer other british sixties band. The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society is almost too good, I love the great musicianship, songwriting and humour of Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by The Small Faces and Who records like Tommy.
