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:
Abbey Road Medley

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.
