"Mr. Kite" is on the psychedelic list, as you note ... ... as for "Good Morning Good Morning," I'd say it comes down to how much your mind is blown by assorted farm animal sounds. Other than that, it's a rock song (with tuba!) to these ears. But everything on that album is a bit tipsy, eh? When it comes to the Fabs, I love 'em all, psychedelic or not. Well, maybe not "Mister Moonlight" ... Looking forward to your next comments! Thanks, 15jugglers, great to hear from you.

D'oh. I will open my eyes one day :) And of course I didn’t read that Mr Kite had been included…. D’oh.

What of Being For The Benefit of Mr Kite, Lennon's trip-tinged rewording of an old fairground/music hall poster? And the looming day-to day-paranoia of Goog Morning Good Morning which forms a biting precursor to A Day In The Life? One of the problems in judging Beatles songs is that invariably they get compared against each other and so while in the whole of the Fabs output these latter two songs might rate down the list, when compared to the output of their contemporaries they vastly outshine many of the one hit wonders and flash in the pan productions. Just because there is already a plethora of Beatles songs in any list of top tracks doesn't mean that further inclusion should be limited if its warranted and earned....
