This might be the funniest Beatles song; it might also be the best Beatles song

Possibly the most beautiful love song ever written

In which John bridges the gap between sympathy and understanding

The quintessential early McCartney song

Everyone knows the Beatles broke up in 1970. What this post presupposes is...maybe they didn't

A massively underrated cover, with one of John’s most impressive vocal interpretations

A life-affirming song about depression

What a gift to be able to watch the birth of a number one hit

Brilliant composition, brilliant performance, brilliant ambiguity

The heart of Rubber Soul

John got mad at the Maharishi

How do they rock so hard

An unspeakably beautiful song, with a few discordant notes to counterpoint

An unspeakably beautiful song, with a few discordant notes to counterpoint

Is this the best side one / track one on a debut album ever?

If not for the girl groups, there would probably be no Beatles

This song changed my life

One of Paul’s most beautifully cruel early ballads

One of the defining songs for one of the defining albums of rock history

A beautiful, delicate song about love and redemption

Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you

Some songs are just bigger on the inside

A revolutionary song about the dangers of revolution

Smokey's original is velvety smooth; John's cover is pure joy

It’s one of the founding pillars of rock authenticity, but don’t hold that against it

They should have recorded this one in Memphis

A blitzkrieg of a song

It IS a concept album

One of their most energetic songs, sometimes unfairly dismissed as derivative

The blistering fire of suburban torpor

A girl-group inspired potboiler that turns melodrama into a rock and roll classic

It might be the quintessential Beatles single

Paul's first great ballad, which makes the important point that love is corny and that's okay

Empathy in song

A song about a book that’s about a writer who is writing the book?

What a gift to be able to watch the birth of a number one hit

When you're singing with a dead man, the experience is supposed to be elusive

John & Paul: A Love Story in Song

An enthusiastic, beautiful invitation to a enigmatic, bewildering film

Come for the propulsive force of I Want You. Stay for the proto-doom metal of She's So Heavy

Being in love on a sunny day really is the best

Maybe the definitive song on the definitive album of psychedelic rock

A groundbreaking piece of songwriting, and a truly incredible album closer

The closest thing to a 'hidden gem' that you're likely to find in the Beatles discography
