Best Beatles Song?

Prince is perhaps underrated as a guitar player, but not by much. He did nothing in this clip that was remarkable. The only difference between him and the guy that was playing lead before him is his overdriven amp and that natty hat.

Also, as an aside, Tom petty is one homely human.

I once again give another great example of good music for you. Eddie Hazel one of the best on guitar out there, performing what is one of the best guitar solos you will ever find.

This was a great find, and a really good performance of Maggot Brain. Luckily it also has Michael Hampton too. But of course since no one has told you a thousand times how great Eddie Hazel is (and well he is not just an imitator like the Beatles) you will never really like it.

To quote Mos Def
"Elvis Presley ain't got no soul"

What is the point here? Who is claiming, or has ever claimed, that any of the beatles was a great guitarist? You are arguning with someone, it seems, but not with anyone here, as far as I can tell. None of the beqatles were virtuosos. They were instead creative, incredibly adventurous and, with George Martin (and some help from Billy preston and others) the creators of perhaps the most impressive catalog of pop ever made.

Lots of love for Geogre Harrison here, which is a little surprising to me. SOmething, Guitar gently weeps, here comes the sun, all Harrison stuff.

Good for the dead guy.

Ironically, apart from the comical but never taken seriously Ringo, Paul may end up being the least loved and admired Beatle priamrily becasue he hasn't died.

I wouldn't call any of these songs great but put together I love the B side (for you younger guys the second half) of Abbey Road.

I have always had a soft spot for Mean Mr. Mustard, for some reason.

As tot he original question, btw, I don't think it canbe asnwered, at least not by me. If I had to pick a single one, it would probably be . . . no, sorry, I just can't do it.

Let's not forget, "I've Got my Mind Set on You." A good song, and cool music video...back when there still were cool music videos.

I enjoyed some of the Traveling Wilburys stuff when Harrison would sing but didn't think much of the other stuff.

You notice I named about a dozen. I doubt where we ever see another group to produce so many songs worthy of remembering.

DIdn't Jeff Lynne get credit for co-writing that song? IF not, he certainly had his musical and porduction fingerprints all over it. Don't misinderstand, I liked it, but it was as much Lynne as Harrison, I think.
