50 Greatest Beatles Songs

I have definite opinions about the Beatles, especially because I was born in 1960 and so by the time I got old enough to have even the vaguest opinions about pop music, the Beatles were always there. I don't know that I even especially liked them, most of the time, when I was in elementary school, etc., but they were inescapable.

I basically derived this list by going down the list linked above and going "no no yes no" (etc.) - like I said, I have definite opinions. So out of the fifty on the list linked above, this is the ones I said yes to (in the order they were originally listed - I'm not going so far as to try to figure out whether I rank Eleanor above Lucy or anything!):

-- She's Leaving Home
-- A Day in the Life
-- Strawberry Fields Forever
-- Abbey Road Medley (or as I still think of it, "You never give me your money," because that's how it starts!)
-- Ticket to Ride (with the unfashionable caveat that I always thought Karen Carpenter's version was better)
-- Blackbird
-- Norwegian Wood
-- Hey Jude
-- Across the Universe
-- Let It Be
-- Eleanor Rigby
-- Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
-- Nowhere Man
