It is hard, but ...
Please, Please Me
Oh, Darling
I Should Have Known Better
Something
I Saw Her Standing There
with a "guilty pleasure" nod to Mister Moonlight, I know it's frequently mentioned as one of their five worst, but I've always liked it.

If I was asked which song I like the most which has the 325 on it I'd say All I've Got To Do.
I just love that Lennon rhythm... Harrison does a great job too.

These will probably by tomorrow. I typically like the inner album stuff more than the hits.
Lovely Rita or Getting Better
Hey Bulldog
Yer Blues
Dear Prudence
Because
Favorite cover:
Mr. Postman
Least favorite or at the least songs I can skip over – this is really difficult!
Mr. Moonlight – although John’s opening vocal always catches my ear.
You Won’t See Me
Within You Without You
Back in the USSR
Goodnight

Wow, Karl. I hadn't yet seen your list, but mine is almost the exact same. I had "And Your Bird Can Sing" at #6 with "I'll Be Back" /"Anytime at All" tied for the #5 spot.
Great minds and all that, I suppose. <g>

I've been watching this for a couple days, trying to pick 5. I just can't. Every time I think I have 5, I see someone's list and think, "OH, I forgot about that song!".
My favorites change almost daily. It depends on what Beatle era I'm into at the moment. I break it down into: the early stuff, then Help through Revolver, Sgt Pepper through Yellow Sub, White Album through Abbey, then the solo stuff. I'm just coming out of the solo stuff now, and have been thinking about the early music lately.
It always amazes me how much they changed in a few short years. It's still fresh for me after all these years!
Andy,
Your five are definitely near the top of my list! What great tunes!
I'll think some more and try again later.

This is virtually impossible for me to answer, and my choices could easily change. I can honestly say that Let It Be has always been my favorite. My #2 song has always been Mull of Kintyre, but I can't include that here.
Let It Be
The following two would always be top five for me:
I Saw Her Standing There
Here Comes The Sun: beautiful, in every aspect.
Rounding out today's top 5:
I'm So Tired: I have always loved Lennon's singing in this one. Awesome song.
Sgt. Pepper's LHCB/With A Little Help FMF
