[quote=Anonymous]The Beatles made so much great music in so many different styles and moods -- it's hard to choose.  But, as a late Boomer/early GenXer who grew up with the Beatles as a constant because my parents, aunts and uncles and older cousins listened to them, I'd choose either Hard Day's Night or Hey Jude.  Hard Day's Night because it gives you the sense of how the Beatles sounded when they first came on the scene.  (Not their first album, I know, but still early in their career as a band.)  That song is almost 60 years old and yet when you hear it today, it's still impossible to resist getting up and dancing (even when you're almost 60, as I am).  I'd pick Hey Jude because it's so sweet and heartfelt -- and because it was on their last album -- and because it was my dad's favorite Beatles song.  I can remember singing along with him when we'd hear it on the car radio.  Miss you, dad -- thanks for all the music and for your perfect pitch (even though none of us inherited it -- sigh).           [/quote]
