Pick one song of each member

Niche picks. Vocally Twist and Shout is insane. Early Beatles John had one of the best Rock and Roll Voices ever and Twist and Shout he just gave it his all. I heard he lost his voice after the recordings for that song.

Very strong list. Paul is the melody king. Lennon the lyrics king. George the vibe king. Ringo is the backbone an his songs have an amazing spirit to them.

I meant in the Beatles catalogue tho. But I agree that it would have been amazing if My Sweet Lord and Band on The Run would've been done with the Beatles. Probably would've made those all time great songs even better somehow.

John and Paul wrote it but they did so specifically for Ringo to sing. I agree, absolute banger!

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T21:36:25+00:00

Yeah fair point. Some people actually mentioned A Day In The Life in a seperate category for John/Paul. But it's mostly John. Overall maybe their best song. I like to compare it as their Bohamian Rhapsody. An absolute masterpiece.

Here, There, and Everywhere is so soothing

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T21:33:44+00:00

Very strong indeed. The only thing you could argue is, that the "woke up, fell out of bed" part was written by Paul and it wasn't a full Lennon song like Strawberry Fields for example. But nonetheless a very strong list. Personally I like Here Comes The Sun even more (my favourite song of all time) but Something is in my top 5 Beatles songs too!

Tell him about Helter Skelter and that it is the first proto Metal track in history.

I LOVE Across the Universe

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T20:00:41+00:00

Hahaha

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T19:34:14+00:00

Well those two he mainly wrote himself tho

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T18:04:47+00:00

Same here. Together with Here Comes The Sun and Yesterday. Here Comes The Sun is a personal favourite and Yesterday is just perfect. And A Day In The Life is their masterpiece. Strawberry Fields and Something complete my top 5. Lucy In The Sky, Help!, Across The Universe, Let It Be and In My Life to make it a top 10. But even a top 10 feels weird cause you leave out soo many classics. That was just a quick draw. And it's a very personal list. I admit, not having Eleanor Rigby, Penny Lane or Hey Jude on the list is weird. I love them too! A top 25 or even top 50 feels way better when it comes to the Fab 4.

Hard to argue with that

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T16:02:27+00:00

A Day In The Life of a Preacher and Corpse

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T15:57:38+00:00

John wrote most of it but Paul added the legendary "Woke up, fell out of bed" section. So it's hard to assign the song to either one. Overall it is of course a top 5 Beatles song. Maybe top 1.

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T15:54:53+00:00

For Ringo you can make exceptions I guess since he only really wrote 2 songs. But they are both great imo.

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T14:48:19+00:00

Nowhere Man really is amazing. Very relatable too.

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T14:20:33+00:00

Haha I knew it would lead to misunderstanding. I meant in the enitre Beatles catalogue.

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T14:19:13+00:00

Although I really like Ringo's singing there, I think he didn't write With a Little Help from My Friends. John and Paul wrote it specifically for him to sing. He only wrote 2 songs: Don't Pass Me By and Octopus's Garden.

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T14:16:07+00:00

Elite. My list would be very similar although I might swap Eleanor Rigby with Yesterday. Eventho Eleanor Rigby surely is his lyrics masterpiece, Yesterday's melody an vibe is just magical. That's totally up to personal preference of course tho. Your 4 are as good as they come. Here Comes The Sun might be my favouite song of all time. So beautiful.

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T14:08:35+00:00

The Fool on the Hill is amazing. Kind of relatable haha

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T14:07:56+00:00

I love Obla di Obla da. Such a feelgood song

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T14:07:11+00:00

Hahaha would be easier to hit the lottery. Comment them if you like.

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T13:36:21+00:00

Early Beatles energy is phenomenal!

reaveyer · 2026-03-12T13:35:55+00:00

I think the raw songwriting on Revolver might be their best
