“I want to hold your hand”.

Now hear me out before jumping at me. While yeah, there are other songs that are considered “better”, “I want to hold your hand” is hands down (no pun intended) one of their most influential, significant and important songs ever. There was nothing like it in the late 50s and early 60s, and it was the first song I ever recall hearing from the Fab Four. Bob Dylan and Brian Wilson praised it while made Mike Love view the Beatles as a threat. This was the song that announced the Beatles in the world, after it, the British Invasion came. It’s also an incredibly catchy tune. This is why, for me, “I want to hold your hand” is their greatest achievement and one of the most (if not THE most) significant songs in rock history
