we can work it Out

I really like how the tempo changes

I can't even narrow it down to a top ten, sorry. But 'yes' to all of the above!

It changes alot, but the other day I put on my vinyl copy of the white album, and "Martha My Dear" was the first song, and I had never really noticed it before-but its SOOOO good. I feel like it envelops every aspect of the Beatles' sound, which is tough considering all the genre hopping they did. But yeah, right now, definately "Martha My Dear".

Just listening to the instrumental version of it shows how remarkable a track Eleanor Rigby was. Lovely strings throughout.

Also it is one of the few instances when lyrical content greatly enhances the composition.

Life On Mars by Bowie would also be included. So much genius going on behind the vocals by the orchestra.

Eleanor Rigby - It's just such a beautiful and sad ballad. Lennon and McCartney's songwriting reached its height in Revolver

Runner-ups:
Yesterday
In My Life
For No One
Penny Lane
A Day in the Life
Dear Prudence
Hey Jude
Revolution (single version)

I agree with that. I would also say that George Harrison, however, peaked later, on Abbey Road, Beatles-wise.

Dear Prudence

Aaggghhh!

Am I the only one who finds Revolver overrated? Too many goofy forgettable tracks, IMO. Like "good day sunshine", "yellow submarine, "i want to tell you", "got to get you into my life", "dr. robert", are all mediocre. Believe me, everything else I LOVE especially, "Im only sleeping", but top ten album of all time? No. Best album of all time? You gotta be kidding me. Paul McCartney even said Pet Sounds blew it away, and I agree.

'I Want To Tell You' and 'Got To Get You Into My Life' are quite good. George's shy voice and Paul's upbeat tempo and vocals make them both great songs.
