The Greatest Beatles Songs of All Time
by @alexcarter
My ranking leans a little more toward the Beatles songs I actually play most often. These are the ones I come back to on drives, quiet mornings and anytime I want to hear why the band still feels timeless.
Ranking
It is simple, warm and instantly uplifting. Few songs capture the feeling of finally coming out of a difficult stretch this well.
The melody is beautiful, but the lyrics are what make it last. It feels more meaningful as you get older.
It feels like several different musical worlds colliding. Strange, ambitious and still completely unforgettable.
One of the most elegant love songs ever written, with a melody that feels effortless.
The bass, drums and vocal delivery make it one of the coolest songs in the Beatles catalogue.
Familiar without feeling worn out. It has a calming quality that makes it work in almost any mood.
Darker and heavier than much of their music, with a sense of tension that keeps building throughout the song.
The opening is intimate, and the ending turns into one of the greatest communal singalongs ever recorded.
It tells a complete and heartbreaking story in just a few minutes, with a string arrangement that still sounds distinctive.
Raw, emotional and less polished than many of their biggest songs. That is exactly why it works.
