If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Crosby, Stills & Nash
John Denver
Neil Diamond
Jose Feliciano
The Guess Who
Herbie Hancock
Bobby McFerrin
Sarah McLachlan
Phish
In addition, the following have been known to cover the song on tour:
Foo Fighters
Grateful Dead
U2
Neil Young
Dave Matthews Band
I left off a lot of obscure people. It's a pretty well known song. When people learn to finger pick guitar, the first song they are taught is "Blackbird".

Add to that their body of work hasn't held up well for me. Maybe it was because I heard them soooo many times.
There might be 6-8 songs that I would still listen to today. My first pick would have been While my Guitar Gently Weeps.
You all have fun. I will wait for the next one.

Sweet pick with Paperback Writer. I guess if I can't have it, it's only right that it should go to the bass player.
The "Frère Jacques" chorus is one those little moments of clever inspiration that I never tire of hearing."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

Originally posted by eldiablo505Man, Strawberry Fields is such a unique, awesome song. This draft is awesome.
I love the treatment they gave it on the anthology, showing the progression through the various incarnations. That alone makes the anthology worth owning.
Lennon's finest Beatles moment is also Ringo's finest Beatles moment, IMO. This track is loaded with inventive drum fills that compliment the song perfectly.
They're all great on this track. There's something new to love at every turn."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

Was hoping Revolution would slip a bit further. Was also looking at Blackbird, Day Tripper and Paperback Writer with my second pick. Not surprised to see them all go at once.
Strawberry Fields is one of those songs that was spoiled for me by a really bad cover. This crime against music is what I see and hear when I imagine this song. I'm sorry for doing this.

Jesus, it could make me cry just reading those words."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

Damn, I was actually starting to think my #2 'Strawberry Fields' would make it back.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

I Want You and Eleanor Rigby are both super picks here.
I saw Gov't Mule at a tiny venue a few years ago, and toward the end of one of their signature songs they suddenly broke into I Want You and the place went absolutely nuts. They played the hell out of it, too.
Eleanor Rigby showed even more versatility, and that the Beatles could continue to push the envelope and have No. 1 hits with unusual songs.
