This may seem ridiculous, but I feel that way about many of the Beatles' songs. Too many to bother listing. After having heard so many Beatles' songs/LPs so often as a "kid" in the 60's, and as a teen into the 70's I took a break from the Beatles through the 80's and well into the 90's. Their songs had just become far too easy to take for granted. With the exception af "Abbey Road" I took a LONG break.Listening to them now they have aged remakably well, and actually have improved with age to my (hopefully non-nostalgic) ears, and they were certainly good to start with! Having just recently bought The Beatles "LOVE" CD and listening to that fantastic recording/reworking, this most recent appreciation of them became even more apparent.
The Impressions' "People Get Ready" and a few other of their early tunes have aged mighty well too.
