Best Songs From the Beatles' Revolver

The Top Ten
1 Eleanor Rigby

As an amateur music writer, I am very fascinated by two melodies going at the same time (which I think is called counter-point). It is really fantastic at the end when "All the Lonely People, Where do they all come from" and "III Look at all the lonely people" go at the same time

This truly DOES deserve to be 1#. 'Eleanor Rigby'is a true masterpiece- Beautiful, yet the Beatles manage to balance just the right amount of emotion for this, not too dramatic yet not completely emotionless. I play this song over and over again and never get tired of hearing it.

A masterpiece through and through, the music, the lyrics, how it all works together with an orchestra. Tight, catchy, and one of the rare moments a McCartney song says something. I guess your bird CAN sing!

2 Tomorrow Never Knows

Very advanced for it's time, and better than this new garbage of the 21st century. The best on Revolver and one of the best songs by the band. 1. Tomorrow Never Knows 2. And You're Bird Can Sing 3. I'm Only Sleeping 4. Here, There and Everywhere 5. Love you to

It has a very interesting vibe, along with interesting instrumentation including backwards guitar and somewhat random tape loops. Still, it is popular, and for a reason at that.

One of the Beatles best songs well a head of its time infact the album is there second best for me abby road is there top album and there music will on for ever

3 Here, There and Everywhere

My favorite along with She Said She Said, but I chose this one cause its lyrics is sentimental and beautiful, and I love McCartney's voice (this song is incredibly underrated, I think because in this record McCartney's voice was doubled and so it didn't sound as good as Yesterday for example, anyway, there's a version on youtube with his "normal voice", so I prefer that! )

Beautiful delicate melody and one of Paul's best compositions.

I think Paul said that this was his favorite song.

4 I'm Only Sleeping

This is so beautiful and idyllic! It always reminds me of blue skies and the white clouds bobbling along! I guess it tells us about the joys of dreaming... Whoch I wholeheartedly agree with. George's reversed guitar solos take it to an entirely different level, while Paul's sleepy bass playing adds to the pleasently lazy feel...

Best of all possible Beatles songs. Ethereal, wispy, hard at times, and Rhythm and Bluse as HELL!

makes me feel high in a good way

5 Taxman

A wonderful song by George typical one four five with a twist, the lyrics nail it. There is a live version where he adds verses and even mentions I believe Reagan / Bush.

Definitely in my top 3 favorite songs off of Revolver! But, of course, Revolver is just flat out one of The Beatles best albums, if not, their best

Bitter yet comedic lyrics that fit perfectly for Harrison's voice. The distorted guitar is beautiful and the solo is great

6 She Said She Said

Awesome song and guitar rift. Also a great story behind it: John writes about his acid trip and how Peter Fonda kept showing them his gunshot wound, saying 'I know what it's like to be dead', to which John obviously replies 'you're making me feel like I've never been born'.

I love this song- it's a better way to hear dialogue: The arguments of a man and a woman about feeling death but it clearly has more emphasis and is more intense, unlike taking in real life

Come on, everyone! This deserves to be higher!

7 For No One

Completing the McCartney trilogy of masterpieces (with Eleanor and the which are the best songs on the album).
Beautiful melody, ingenious use of classical instrumentation in a pop song, incredible and mature lyrics.
Top 5 song for me.

It is a beautiful song that expresses the pain associated with the loss of a long time lover. Using phrases like, "She no longer needs you" and "In her eyes, you see nothing" McCartney shows the anxiety and stress a broken soul feels after a disheartening break-up.

This is one of the saddest songs they have ever made, and that is saying something considering it's the Beatles. One of the only Beatles songs to make me tear up, along with She's Leaving Home, In My Life and a few others.

8 And Your Bird Can Sing

This song totally rocks. One of their best. Don't know why Lennon hated it so much? Maybe could have been longer. But for what it's worth it's an excellent song that can get you rocking out.

This is a top tune the lead is tops and it just shows the talent they all had I can not imagine the world with out the Beatles they gave so much I thank them for the joy and love they gave

The best guitar playing not only in the album, but in The Beatles all time!

9 Got to Get You Into My Life

McCartney later, during his solo years, admitted this was about pot. Even so, it sends a clear message from the singer that he wants you in his life. We are allowed to read into a song's lyrics and what I thought was the singer wanting her in his life seemed sophisticated and visceral at the same time.

This song is the most underrated song by The Beatles, and that is a cold, hard fact. Nobody has this in their favorites, but it has some of the best horn arrangements ever and some of my personal favorite vocal performances by Paul McCartney.

In the fade to the song McCartney sings "Look what you've done to my life." This perhaps in some way adds to it being about pot.

10 Yellow Submarine

"Yellow Submarine" is one of my favorites. This song is intended to be the best song of their seventh studio album Revolver for it peaked in the US Billboard Hot 100 at number two.

Soundtrack version is better just saying

This song made me a true Beatles fan

The Contenders
11 Good Day Sunshine

The happiness is insane! I don't know what, but something just works about this song.

Good song but doesn't fit with the album.

I love this song to much

12 I Want to Tell You

One of my favorite George Harrison songs!

I confused George for John here.

I so love the title to this...

13 Love You To

Best song ever! Harrison killed it once again! I like the sitar and other instruments that are in this song. It has great flow and I never skip it on my iTunes playlist!

Harrison's Indian rock is just so out there, but somehow manage to feel fitting to the album. I love them all.

Should be above 10-13 its not better than the top 8 but shouldn't be bottom

14 Doctor Robert

The way john says doctor robert is so british I love it

This song just makes me happy to be honest
