Great one. Strawberry Field was the name of a Children's Home just around the corner from John Lennon's childhood home in the suburbs of Liverpool. Lennon and his childhood friends used to play in the wooded garden behind the home. The song was ranked number 76 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. John Lennon's memorial, a 2.5-acre section in New York City's Central Park (directly across the street from where Lennon was murdered) was named Strawberry Fields in honor of John Lennon and the song he wrote based on his childhood.

These are also great selections! Penny Lane -- Hit #1 on the charts across the world in 1967, including in the US. I named one of my pets (now deceased) "Penny Lane" (aka "Penn") after the song. Beautiful, beautiful song. Rolling Stone ranked it #449 best all-time song. The song's title is derived from the name of a street in the band's hometown, Liverpool. The street is an important landmark, sought out by most Beatles fans touring Liverpool. In the past, street signs saying "Penny Lane" were constant targets of tourist theft and had to be continually replaced. Eventually, city officials gave up and simply began painting the street name on the sides of buildings. This practice was stopped in 2007 and more theft-resistant "Penny Lane" street signs have since been installed though some are still stolen.

for me this one is so easy. ticket to ride. its hard to say why, but i love its simplicity, flow and drum work. otherwise, a day in the life. (along with the rest of sgt peppers) transformed the beatles from teeny boppers to near cutting edge.
I'm more into melody than words. I had long hair and I smoked a little dope but I was more like an "Okie from Muskogee".
