Have you read this book? It’s “100 Best Beatles Songs – A Passionate Fan’s Guide“.
I know. How can you possibly pick the top 100 songs by the greatest group ever? Well, the authors do it, and most of the picks are pretty good. One thing I really liked about the book, they devote about three full pages to each of the top 100 songs. That includes detailed notes about the recording of the songs and the different studio takes. Also, they detail “who played what instrument(s)” for each song. Some of those may surprise you. There are also trivia items about each song, which a true Beatles fan will find fascinating.
As for their rankings, well, that is very subjective. If you want to know the top 10, well I could probably post that here. But don’t you like suspense? Here are a few sample ratings from the book: “I Am The Walrus” is number 11. Shouldn’t it be higher? “She Loves You” is number 15. Should that be lower? “Yesterday” is number 4. “Lovely Rita Meter Maid” is number 70. “Sexy Sadie” is number 37. “Back In The USSR” is number 81. You get the idea, but do you agree? And don’t forget the world of other useful information in this book.
