I was nuts about the beatles for a long long time so this one's easy for me.\n\n10. 'If I Fell'\none of their purest of love songs showcasing their softer side....simple yet the harmonizing of John over Paul's lead vocal was classic.\n\n9. 'I Want to Hold Your Hand'\nThis was their breakout hit that caused the entire 'beatlemania' phenomenon in early 63'.\n\n8. 'You've Got to Hide Your Love Away'\nTiring of their proven formula and influenced by Bob Dylan and lots of pot, John sat down and wrote this one night while with Bob in his hotel room.  The highly introspective lyrics showed the start of something very different for all of them.\n\n7. 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'\nThe opening title track to what was to become one of the most influential albums in rock history ranked with Beach Boy's 'Pet Sounds' and Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'.\n\n6. 'Here Comes the Sun'/ 'Something'\nGeorge's 2 contributions to Abbey Road, what I think to be 2 of George's best songs (While my Guitar...is close behind). Here comes the sun is simple yet infectiously catchy. Something is one of his best love songs.\n\n5. 'Yesterday'\nThe Beatles #1 most requested song of all time and Paul's solo vocal debut. This song has been covered by everyone from 'Boys to Men' to 'James Taylor'. \n\n4. 'Free as A Bird'\n20 some odd years after John's death the remaining 3 used current technology to bring one of John's demo recordings to life. 1 of 2 compositions that would ultimately prove to be the last studio record with the entire group, as George passes away 4 years later. You listen to it and it still sounds like the 4 of them together just like in the old days.\n\n3. 'The End'\nWith Abbey Road the beatles knew it would be their last album as a band and 'The End' was the closing track on the album. A song reminicent of the old days but with a more carefree and united feeling it was sort of a last hurrah. The closing lyric by Paul is timeless..."In the end, the love you make is equal to the love you take."\n\n2. 'Blackbird'\nMy personal favorite, this is one of the songs I requested to be played at my funeral...simple, sad, yet uplifting just the same.\n\n1. 'Let it Be'\nThis was to become the beatles swan-song. Released after the break up, it was a brilliant song written by paul. The fans took it as a parting message of hope, love, fun, and gratitude...which was what the entire beatles phenomenon was all about.\n\nHonorable Mention: 'Hey Jude'- Another of my favs., a great party song I always play if I see a piano...\nNaa Naaa Naaaa Na Na Na Naaaaaa Heeeey Jude!\n\nPS I'd have to say that Paul is my favorite beatle just for the simple fact that the group would have broken up far earlier if it wasn't for him keeping the band together for as long as he did.\nOh and Cbirdy, what album is 'Uncle Albert' off of??

Yesterday by McCartney and Lennon.

People do not see it as pro-atheist.  Lennon himself was a vague Deist.  When he sings, "No religion" it does not necessarily offend those of theological bent, sicne many of them say they're against religion-- what they're about is a "personal relationship with God".

nearly a beatles song?????

I think he would still be pretty popular even if he wasn't with the beatles. So many people loved his music when he wasn't with them, so why wouldn't they like it if he never was with them!?!?!?

he was awesome 10-14 years ago.  you don't really hear his music anymore though which is a shame.  my favorite was father figure??  was that the name of the song "i'll be your father figure put your tiny hands in mine till the end of time." .  remember when he was in Wham!  and that video when he was wearing the white short shorts.   what song was that?  i oh my god!!!  brings  back memories.

John Lennon was cremated. The whereabouts of his remains were not released to the public. Yoko probably has them in an urn, kept secret so his grave wouldn't become a shrine like Jim Morrison's.

My mom taught me alot about the Beatles when I was growing up, and when she shared Magical Mystery Tuor with me, she also shared that rumor with me too. She told me about it, then told me how funny she thought it was that when the Beatles were asked about this, they told their fans that they were looking far too hard for inner meanings of their songs. They then dedicated Glass Onion on the White Album (Disk One) to those fans who needed a deeper meaning, heh. Give it a listen :) \n\nI mention that I learned this all from my mom, since well, I wasn't actually there for any of the controversy first hand, but I do consider her my mentor on all things Beatle-y.

That's a pretty good one, but I think John Lennon is better. It's not that I know it for a fact, but I bet more people would think so just due to name recognition.

John Lennon.  He had such a profound positive impact on my generation. He made you think about the world around us, and was highly spiritual.He still lives through his music.  He will go down in history as one of the best musicians/songwriters of all time in my opinion.

John Lennon.  I'd love to be able to have a casual dinner conversation with one of my all-time heroes.
