Thank you for that.  I posted this question on another message board years ago (without the rule), and everyone went "Oh I can't pick just one.  I like..." and then they'd list ten songs.

Yes you can pick just one.  THAT'S THE POINT.

Anyway.  "She Said She Said."

I'd have to say... The Best Of The Beatles

Christ. That's a tough one. My favourite (but not the best) is probably. Er. Will have a listen and get back to this.

Eleanor Rigby.

That's it, that's all I need from them boys.

None of them play on that song.  It's only Paul's voice backed by a string quartet.

No it's not.  She's so Heavy is a fuck*ng awesome song, but it's hardly a summation of all they were.

Right. Do you think that was an accident, Paul?

Of course not.

tight harmonies, great chord progressions, chorus/verse more like different halves of two songs, amazing production values, themes of desire and regret and foolishness... okay, it might not be *everything* they were but it sure is a representative sample
