Offline 1. A Day In The Life - It seems like an obvious choice, but this is the Beatles at their most creative, most unified, and most progressive. There's nothing else like it in music.
2. Within You Without You . Best lyrics of the album. Solidifies George's craftsmanship and Pepper as a masterpiece.
3. Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band- the best Beatles opener for an album imo.
4. She's Leaving Home - fantastic harmony with that Greek chorus by John.
5. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - Classic organ phrase by Paul really makes this song what it is. John's lyrics are fantastical and surreal.
6. Fixing A Hole - Harpsichord underneath guitar licks with great precision. Fantastic track.
7. With A Little Help From My Friends - Ringo's greatest vocal.
8. When I'm Sixty-Four . Lovely- clarinets and melody. One of Paul's best on the album.
9. Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite- Great piece of modern music by John. Kalaedescopic.
10. Good Morning Good Morning - one of the best guitar solos in the Beatles discography.
11. Getting Better - truly experimental track. Indian and Western pop instrumentation.
12. Lovely Rita - great piano
13. The Reprise- fantastic intro to A Day In The Life . A great rocker on its own. Too short to rank above any other of these marvelous tracks.

I agree with She's Leaving Home being the worst song on the album. I still think it is a good song, but an experiment by Paul that was not quite up to par with his others.
Inspired by a story in the Daily Mail about a teenage runaway, She's Leaving Home was described by George Martin as "not, strictly speaking, a Beatles song at all," and "pure McCartney, from start to finish".
The Beatles Bible.
It was scored by Mike Leander, a freelance producer and arranger, because George Martin was unavailable at the short notice demanded by McCartney.

Offline 13. When I'm Sixty-Four - I actually like this song, especially the backing vocals but I needed a track on the bottom and this is it.
12. Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) - I like the reprise as it closes the "concept" of Sgt Pepper and it's a good song that doesn't go to long as well.
11. Lovely Rita - I like this song, even though it's silly but I still enjoy it.
10. She's Leaving Home - I like both Paul and John's vocals on this song and the lyrics are very well written.
9. Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - Much like Magical Mystery Tour this song works well as an intro to the album but this is a much better song and I love the guitar work on this song.
8. Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite - Fun imaginative track and I do feel like I am at the circus when I listen to it.
7. With A Little Help From My Friends - Maybe the best Ringo song as a Beatle. It is the perfect vehicle for him.
6. Within You Without You - I love the music and lyrics for this song. George had more than come into his own by this point.
5. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - Very psychedelic and very imaginative lyrics but I am a little sick of this song now but when I am in the mood I do really enjoy it.
4. Getting Better - The chorus to this song is the highlight for me. The opening chords kind of remind me of She's A Woman , which isn't a bad thing.
3. Fixing A Hole - I used to not think much of this song but over the years it has really started to grow on me. I like the chorus especially.
2. Good Morning, Good Morning - I don't think many people like this song, especially John but I like it. I love Ringo's drumming, the guitar work, and the ending with all of the animal noises.
1. A Day In The Life - This song is a masterpiece. I love everything about this song. The lyrics, the backwards orchestra, and the end note. This song has a lot going for it and I yet to get sick of it.
And in the end the lunch you take is equal to the lunch you bake.

Offline Sgt Pepper is my favourite Beatles album so it's incredibly difficult to rank. I love every song!
My list:
13. When I'm Sixty-Four - Love the song but it comes last since i'm not the biggest fan of Paul's 'granny shit' songs. Miles better then Honey Pie for me though (that's one of my least favourite Beatles tracks).
12. Sgt Pepper Reprise - Great little rocker and it ties into the concept aspect of the album brilliantly. I love the way how it falls into the mother of all songs...
11. Lovely Rita - I hate to have to put this song so low since I absolutely love it. It's one of the best songs on the album to singalong to.
10. Good Morning Good Morning - Again I love this song, however it used to be my least favourite at point. It took me a while to appreciate how great it is. It received one of the best treatments on the remix.
9. Sgt Pepper - Brilliant intro to the album, the only reason why it's this low is because it's been played so much.
8. Fixing A Hole - As people have rightly pointed out this is a very underrated song and a McCartney gem.
7. Getting Better - Early on this used to be one of my favourites from the album. I guess i've probably heard it too much. I love the 'I used to be cruel' section.
6. She's Leaving Home - A truly beautiful, beautiful song. Again this song sounds superb on the remix.
5. With A Little Help From My Friends - The best Ringo song of the Beatles catalogue. Again would probably be higher if it wasn't so overplayed.
4. Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite ! - I don't understand why some fans dislike this song. For me it's John at his creative and witty best. It took me a while to appreciate it fully but now I love everything about it.
3. Within You Without You - Up there with George's best Beatles songs. It has the most philosophical lyrics of the whole album and the instrumental section is truly stunning.
2. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - For me Sgt Pepper is an album about taking the listener on a journey. This song is a perfect example of this as the listener is effectively taken down a rabbit hole into a world of psychedlic fantasy. It's easily one of John's best songs.
1. A Day In The Life - The best song on the album, the best Beatles song in general and my favourite song of all time. This song changed music forever. Is it one of the greatest pieces of music ever written? Quite possibly...

Offline I can't believe i haven't done this yet:
Genre:
Baroque Pop
This is definitely the worst song on this album and is up there with Good Night , Wild Honey Pie , and Her Majesty when it comes to The Beatles worst songs.
Genre:
Eastern Music
George has written some great songs, While My Guitar Gently Weeps is a great example of this, but as with Love You To , i don't like it when he goes full sitar, George should stick to guitar.
11. With A Little Help From My Friends
Genre:
Pop Rock
Typically Ringo songs are sub par, this is no exception although Paul did some great bass work here on his Rickenbacker which is definitely the best part about the song.
10. When I'm 64
Genre:
Music Hall
Not a bad song but definitely not my cup of tea.
9. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
Genre:
Psychedelic Rock
I like this one, whether it be Paul's organ, John's vocals, George's Fender, or Paul's excellent Lowery organ part, did i mention that great organ part by Paul and the lyrics are beautiful.
8. Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite
Genre:
Psychedelic Carnival Music
If you want a song to play at your amusement park, then if it weren't copyrighted i'd recommend playing this one.
Genre:
Rock
This rocker is sure to make your day, it's getting better all the time when this song is on.
6. Lovely Rita
Genre:
Pop Rock
The only love song on the album and an interesting one too about Paul falling in love with a traffic warden after she gives him a ticket and you got to love those kazoo sounds that was made with a comb and toilet paper from the EMI restroom, i'm falling in love with this song just thinking about it.
5. Sgt. Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)
Genre:
Rock
The most rock song on this album, this song really gives a punch in a way that no other can. Unlike most other songs that contain various overdubs to obtain it's great sound, this song only contains John and George on guitar, Paul on bass, Ringo on drums, and all 4 Beatles singing, which i like.
4. Good Morning, Good Morning
Genre:
Psychedelic Rock
An underrated song this is but a classic nonetheless, mixing Fender guitars, bass, drums, tambourine, and a brass section in just the right way that it'll make you smile.
3. Sgt. Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Genre:
Psychedelic Rock
I say we ask the question what's the most important thing about an album, that it has a great powerful high energy opener of course and this does just that with it's rocking attitude, this song is the start to a masterpiece and even has a French horn break before switching from the verse to the chorus.
Genre:
Psychedelic Rock
Nothing quite like a laid back song with a harpsichord and overdriven electric guitars, especially when we're talking The Beatles, this song is among the best when it comes to The Beatles and few can top it.
Honorable Mentions:
Genre:
Psychedelic Rock
What a lovely powerful song that tells a great story, this song is epic, the song is very meaningful and it never gets old, this is the most popular song on the album and it deserves it because this is the best of all, The Beatles saved the best for last this time and they knew what they were doing when they recorded this masterpiece.
