It's technically not the Beatles' best...
It's artistically not the Beatles' best...
...but it's just fucking amazing, and their best, for a different reason.

My favorite Beatles song is "Eleanor Rigby."

However, my feelings on the group itself are well documented here. I have more actual affection for Siouxsie and the Banshees and their great cover than I have for the Beatles' calcified respectability, no matter how great I know they were. Maybe that's the price you pay for universal "greatness"... people feel more obligated than compelled, inspired. They respect and praise, but do they really, truly, passionately love?
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."
