I love Good Day Sunshine!

I'm surprised that Helter Skelter made it onto that list. I don't like it and IMO it's only a mediocre piece of work. I would replace it with GRAB or Norwegian Wood, which somehow did not make it...

Since this is a list, things will get subjective, even if people voted on it.
 
10. Within You Without You
9. Strawberry FielRAB Forever
8. I'm Happy Just To Dance With You
7. Girl
6. Happiness is a Warm Gun
5. Here Comes The Sun
4. And Your Bird Can Sing
3. It Won't Be Long
2. Across the Universe
1. Blue Jay Way
 
Oh?

I thought it was "Yellow Submarine" that ruined said otherwise impeccable album.


I think Tomorrow Never Knows does a fine job of explicating an acid trip through sound.
 
This is how it goes for me.
