During a 2014 interview with GQ, Sean revealed he’s tired of answering certain questions.
“There are questions you don’t even want to bring up,” he said. “You don’t want to brin that bad magic into the room. I have to say, to be honest, I don’t like it when people ask me what my favorite Beatles song is.”
Sean explained why he doesn’t like that question, saying, “First of all, I don’t like having to pick a favorite thing anyway. You can’t pick a favorite Beatles song!”
“What about ‘Strawberry Fields?’” he said. “What about ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?’ What about ‘Tomorrow Never Knows?’ Come on. That question is small-minded to think you could even have a favorite Beatles song.”
John Lennon’s son revealed he enjoys The Beatles’ ‘psychedelic’ songs:During a 2015 interview with Citizens of Humanity, Sean was once again asked to name his favorite Beatles songs. This time, he discussed some of his favorite Beatles songs and albums.
“Sgt. Pepper’s, Magical Mystery and then the more psychedelic stuff; that’s just where my taste is, because I like the more experimental songwriting, more progressive songwriting,” he revealed.
“It seems a lot more ambitious, you know, very orchestral and sort of experimental recording techniques, so my favorite songs are like ‘Strawberry Fields’ and ‘I Am the Walrus,’” he said. “The stuff that’s really more out there.”
Sean enjoys “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “I Am the Walrus.” Notably, these songs were not some of the Fab Four’s biggest hits. However, given that he hinted he prefers more “experimental” songs, this comes as no surprise.
