March 2008 On-line Readers Poll

Online Reader’s Poll What’s your favorite Beatles song and why? My favorite it's LOVE ME DO ..BECAUSE brings me good times en LOSANGELES CA..while I was for vacation en Venice beach...summer time!! – Marinelly Hi Andy - with so many fab hits, it's almost impossible to choose just one Beatle's favorite - so I'm offering two, the first 'I Saw Her Standing There' a classic rock and roll tune from the countdown at the beginning to the basic rock rhythm and harmony of Paul McCartney leading the Fab Four that gets your toes tapping almost involuntarily. And then the melodic, almost ethereal ballad 'Hey Jude' - with Paul McCartney offering one of his best, in my opinion, renditions of slow song in the modern era of popular music. – Ernie Larsen It can only be "A Hard Day's Night" – D. Bruce Franklin Hi, Andy. There are a lot of songs by the Fab 4 that I like, but I would have to say that, Michelle is my favorite. My reason, more or less, is I always liked Paul the best. His singing in French on this song really strengthened my belief that he was the most intelligent one of the four. Later, George Twist and Shout – brings back happy memories of dancing and laughing with friends and family. – Cathy My favorite is 16 minute "The Medley" on the Abbey Road album - You Never Give Me Your Money, Sun King, Polythene Pam, She Came In Through the Bathroom Window, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, and The End. The album cover secrets are great, too. - Lea Crown My favorite Beatles song is Eleanor Rigby. The music itself is riveting, the orchestration clean and piercing and the lyrics are smart and spare. The lesson of the song is timeless. Katrina Axelrod Here's my pick: "I Saw Her Standing There" Thanks! Lisa No question in my mind. "Let It Be". When the Beatles performed together for the last time. It was like losing a friend. Kind of like the day Elvis died. - Ed Marcantonio Blackbird & Here Comes the Sun it’s a toss up!!! I got my 1st detention from singing Here Comes the Sun in my Astrology class freshman year. – Jennifer Hamerski "Help” I need somebody........... not just anybody............When I was younger so much younger than today, I never needed anybody's help in any way, but now these days have gone and I'm not so self assured, now I find I changed my mind and opened up the door....Help me if you can I'm feeling down, and I do appreciate you being round.Help get my feet up off the ground..... (See I said it was my favorite) – Gina Love me do. – Tracy VERY TOUGH QUESTION BROTHER...I'd have to go with Strawberry Fields Forever – Geo Hard day’s night – John Kovacs "Let It Be" is my favorite Beatles song. - Kimberley Linstruth-Beckom Hey Jude is definitely my favorite. So you remember the "NO< NO<" song by them? - Diana Yesterday. It's favorite Beatles' song. – Barbara My favorite Beatles song is "In my Life." – Jazzi My favorite would have to be Imagine,while Bob has always had a special place in his heart for Rocky Raccoon.Opposites attract I guess. – Carole Golitko Blackbird - Monique Hunter THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD! – Jim When I'm 64 – Jodie My favorite is Rocky Raccoon but now as I have grown older, The Long and Winding Road is right up there with it. Here comes the Sun is number 1 though. - Andy
