Hello!

Here is the top 10 I came up with. It is based solely on what I like to listen to - not necessarily on musical, lyrical, or technical merit.

 

1. A Day In The Life - One of the best constructed musical pieces in history. Takes me to another place!

2. Something - Simply beautiful. The bass line and harmonies are gorgeous.

3. I Saw Her Standing There - Best album opener and one of my favorite Rock and Roll songs ever. Always makes me want to move!

4. Eleanor Rigby - Such a change from anything before it. Love the strings and the lyrics.

5. A Hard Day's Night - From the opening chord to the end - what a rush!

6. Day Tripper - One of the best riffs ever. First thing I tried to learn on guitar.

7. Blackbird - I love Paul's acoustic guitar work on this one!

8. What You're Doing - This song is just so catchy to me. The intro and coda are as close as we get to a Ringo solo until The End .

9. Help ! - I really love early John rockers!

10. Martha My Dear - The piano intro pulls me in and just keeps getting better!

 

Honorable Mentions:

Here Comes The Sun

All My Loving

Strawberry Fields Forever

Got To Get You Into My Life

Oh! Darling

Abbey Road Medley

4.  Here Comes The Sun
5.  I Am The Walrus
6.  Eleanor Rigby

redoing my top 10 list since my opinions have changed

all of these songs (besides one) are 1966-onwards since I'm not a huge early beatles fan

10. Fixing A Hole : the harpsichord is really neat on this song and i lowkey love the bass

9. oh darling: only recently came to appreciate this gem, mainly due to paul's vocals

8. every little thing: such a nice song, definitely my favourite early beatles number

7. Savoy Truffle : don't know how to explain it

6. i will: i wish it was longer but I'll take it either way

5. Dear Prudence : i love the ending where everything goes crazy

4. medley: not picking apart any songs from here

3. She's Leaving Home : beautiful song. i actually prefer the higher tones on the 2018 remix personally, as paul's voice sounds more natural imo

2. Strawberry Fields Forever : this has been one of my favorites for years

1. i want you (she's so heavy): perfect song.
