I kind of surprised myself by some of these rankings, but I'm sticking to it. Ever since hearing the acoustic version on Anthology, I've been unable to properly appreciate the full band version of While my guitar gently weeps. I don't know why. Being a certified Beatles fanatic, it's a capital offense in some circles, I'm sure.
