Great thread. One suggestion: please add links to the songs. I was not a Beatles fan in my teens, but I've learned to appreciate their contributions to rock.

By the 70's all that had changed and people were expecting to hear a range of moods--and funnily enough the Beatles themselves were instrumental in causing that change, esp with Sgt Pepper, of course, but mostly with the White Album, which is the one everybody seems to forget but which was, for me anyway, their definitive work. It lost the relentless (and to me annoying) quality of mid-era albums like Revolver and Rubber Soul and had developed a maturity which, sadly, because of the internal tensions in the band, was never really followed through.

I agree that it's a great thread but an impossible choice!
How about I pick my favourite 53 rather than just one? lol
A John Lennon song that hasn't been mentioned is Beautiful Boy, which he wrote for his son. IMO it's even better than Imagine.

My john Lennon song would have to be "John Sinclair" named after a white anti-war activist. Lennon performed this song on stage with notorious Black Panther Bobby Seale
No, nope, never, maybe

HURDLE #1: If guys would learn to stop over complementing, and not compliment every tranny (or girl) they see and talk to (so a girl would feel it was sincere and that she's special), maybe they'd get somewhere but a dead end! lol

They also did a great cover of Please Mr. Postman, John belts it out.
Go see the Cirque Du Soleil Love Show in Vegas...it is fantastic. They manage to create a moment at the starts of the show where it is like they are performing on stage together again. What a feeling, however brief.
