Abbey Road In My Life

This is an age old question and one that I can never really answer. My favorite changes depending on my mood. For the early songs that touched my life the most would have to be If I Fell or This Boy because that's when I truly fell in love with John, I think. His voice just captured my heart, never to end. Even though he was the first one I set my sights on from Day 1 (declaring that he would be mine someday, haha), when I got older, it was the music more than anything else that cemented it for me. But there's another song that means a lot to me too and that's In My Life. I feel like that song is timeless and the lyrics ring as true today as they did from when they were written. I tend to like John's songs the most. Maybe it has something to do with my favoritism, not sure, but I Am the Walrus, Strawberry Fields, etc., etc., epitomize Beatles to me.
My favorite album would probably have to be Abbey Road. When non-Beatles fans ask me, what makes the Beatles so great?, I tell them to put on Side B of Abbey Road and they'll hear for themselves. Simply irresistable.
