So it must be "Strawberry fields", but there are too many masterpieces...

Need I mention Don't let me down? Anyway I voted for other-dlmd
All You Need Is Love is probably the warmest John song.
And then would be the proverbial a day In the Life.

Good poll though
peace n love, bexy x x x

John claimed he wrote essentially the tune, not the whole thing.

Now I'm starting to think it's actually appropiate to label the songs as 'Lennon/McCartney' after all.

Yes.

Tomorrow Never Knows which without the effects and tapes which John was only partially responsible for would be a very unimpressive song. Obviously A Day In The Life had the Paul bit in the middle but the John verses are his finest songwriting moments and in someways maybe it'd have been better without the Paul bit. It's interesting to wonder what might have become of the song without the Paul bit.

I ABSOLUTELY agree. I find the Paul bit annoying. That crecshend is just painfull and unbearable.

Across The Universe is getting higher and higher on my list, it's no 4 now.
And I couldn't agree more. He's the only person who ever LIVED who could written them.
