- My favorite Beatle songs change constantly. Just looking at the song list now, I'd say it is "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" but that could change tomorrow. I also like Blackbird, Dear Prudence, Helter Skelter, Why Don't We Do It in the Road, Yer Blues and I'm So Tired a lot too... So many songs, so little time!
