Top 10 Beatles Songs
 

I know we already have a thread for this band, but I figured I'd focus the discussion here. I woke up this morning and started thinking about my favorite songs the Beatles had done, and I realized that everyone probably has very different lists because of the Xtreme talent these dudes had. I'm just throwing a really rough list together, and it will definitely change in the near future (because I haven't given it much thought yet), but I'd like to see what other people consider their top 10. You can go over 10, it's not too strict, but don't list every song they ever recorded. Also, if you want to do two lists for "Best" and "Favorite," go ahead.

Mine (Favorite):

1) Oh Darling
2) Rocky Raccoon
3) For No One
4) Happiness is a Warm Gun
5) Hey Jude
6) In My Life
7) I Don't Want to Spoil the Party
8) Something
9) Lady Madonna
10) I Want You (She's So Heavy)
11) Nowhere Man


Hmmmm, I feel like these aren't even my favorites. There must be something missing.

In no particular order...

1. Blackbird
2. You Never Give Me Your Money (The whole medley, really)
3. Your Mother Should Know
4. I am the Walrus
5. You Won't See Me
6. As My Guitar Gently Weeps
7. Oh Darling
8. Good Day Sunshine
9. Something (Though I prefer the Smokey Robinson's cover)
10. I Want You (I'm not sure if I genuinely love this, or whether
I'm being betrayed by its 'epicness'. Whatever)

HM: Get Back (Though I prefer Al Green's cover)

I really haven't heard enough of their material*, but here are my favorites:

01. She Said She Said

5. Something
6. I Saw Her Standing There
7. Don't Let Me Down

4. I am the Walrus
5. I'm So Tired
6. You Won't See Me
7. Strawberry Fields Forever
