The Beatles Mixtape

I read an article at Nylon Magazine's website (I highly recommend visiting this web, you'll get addicted). It was about Glee's Dianna Agron's 5 favorite Beatles songs. http://www.nylonmag.com/?section=article&parid=7320

I inmediatly thought about what would I answer to that hard question. I normally don't agree with the ''masses'' choice (Yesterday, Let it be, Strawberries fields forever...).
Here they are, from the fifth to the one (and one more)

5
Come together, Abbey Road, 1969


I forgot about this song but some years ago I heard this song live in a concert of a local Madrid band (I don't remember the name) in a Malasaña's Madrid club. I fell in love again and I collected all the covers of the song.

Get back, Let it be, 1970


I think it has the funniest lyrics and it's my dad's fav.

3
Because, Abbey Road, 1969


The great unknown! Everyone forgets about this song that is just magic.

2
She said she said, Revolver, 1966


because when I think about the Beathes I hear this song into my head. I'm 5 years old and I'm laying over the cold floor listening to the jukebox while playing my mom's old Revolver vinyl.

I am the warlus, Magical Mystery Tour, 1967


When you hear this song live in an Oasis concert you realize it's over your top.


''I Am the Walrus is also one of my favorite songs in the album Magical Mystery Tour, not only because I wrote it, of course, but it is one of those songs in such detail that even in a hundred years could continue being interesting.'' John Lennon, 1974.

Only John can make you come into ectasy with only a song.

And one more...
What you're doing, Beatles for sale, 1964


I feel like if you could take all the 60's mods essence and condense it into a sound this would be the sound.
