All 2. 13 Beatles Songs, Ranked From Worst to Best. At Beatles anniversary time, the stories write themselves. It was 2. 53. 04. The act youve known for all these years A splendid time was guaranteed for all Last weeks 5. U. S. release of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, the most acclaimed rock album ever and the apogee of the Beatles cultural influence in the 1. But Peppers doesnt make sense if its not put in context. Watch The Throwaways Online Hulu' title='Watch The Throwaways Online Hulu' />And the only way to do that, given the weight of the Beatles presence, is to take a look at everything the band put on record over its eight year recording career. It turns out that ranking the songs recorded by the Beatles in the 1. The list is based on the bands British releases, which is how they thought of their work. In the U. K. in the 1. A Hard Days Night, Help, and Yellow Submarine quasi soundtrack albums. Kate-Bosworth.jpg' alt='Watch The Throwaways Online Hulu' title='Watch The Throwaways Online Hulu' />The so called White Album, The Beatles, was a two record set. There was also a flurry of non album singles throughout those years, collected in different ways in the U. K. and the U. S. EMI also released a number of four song EPs in Britain, particularly early on, but only one of them, Long Tall Sally, contained songs not available in other forms. Releases in the U. S. were a similar mishmash, but from Revolver onward, with minor exceptions, the studio album releases, at least, were standardized. The songs the band released in the 1. Past Masters. The Beatles based their sound largely on American R B, and they, like their compatriots in the Rolling Stones and the Yardbirds, filled their early records with covers of their favorite tracks. They are duly noted below most sound like the appreciative efforts of a young and not quite formed band the Beatles being the Beatles, however, a few are transcendent. I use the songs on those releases to create this ranking, with some ephemera like the German versions of She Loves You and I Want to Hold Your Hand, or George Martins Yellow Submarine orchestrations ignored, with a few other interesting tracks that have dribbled out over the decades added in. This doesnt get said enough These songs were specifically designed to pack their punch at high volume. Try em with real speakers, not headphones. I am indebted to Beatles super scholar Mark Lewisohn for his many detailed books on the band, most important The Beatles Recording Sessions Bob Spitzs close to definitive The Beatles engineer Geoff Emericks memoir,Here, There, and Everywhere and the engrossing podcast Something About the Beatles, hosted by Briton Richard Buskin and American Robert Rodriguez. Any mistakes are, of course, my own. Please let me know if I conflated any facts or misrepresented anything in the comments section below, or publicly humiliate me on Twitter hitsville. Beyond everything else, the Beatles were the biggest cultural story of the modern era, and they were, in the end, pop, if pop is music that makes people happy. Through the confusion and the chaos, the pain and the self questioning, they worked to create a joyous sound. They didnt fuss about it its what they wanted to do. They loved to turn us on. Good Day Sunshine, Revolver 1. Paul Mc. Cartney was welcome to write all the happy, upbeat, cheery cheery songs he wanted. But this one is beyond the pale. Its blaring, received, and strident. Even by Mc. Cartney standards Getting Better, Hello Goodbye the title is inane. It could have been Yum Food Delicious, or Hot Sex Baby, or any other three random words Mc. Cartney took out of his Young Mans Collection of Positive Synonyms and note that of these three choices Mc. Cartney chose the blandest. Mc. Cartneys piano playing, which graced so many Beatles songs, right up to A Day in the Life, is a parody of itself. Its the worst song in the Beatles classic period. And it ruins Revolver, otherwise the most consistent and mind blowing collection of pop rock songs ever conceived by man. Dig It, Let It Be 1. As Lennon himself put it, this is what you get when youre stoned all the time and dont give a shit. Docked eight notches for Lennons final spoken line, And now wed like to do Hark the Angels Come, which on the record sounds like a swipe at the next track, Let It Be, a song that is tuneful and about something, unlike Dig It. Mc. Cartney sometimes produced schlock, but rarely work as annoying as this. Little Child, With the Beatles 1. Probably the worst of Lennon and Mc. Cartneys early efforts. Filler from the second album. Tell Me What You See, Help A highly derivative track shoved onto the second non soundtrack side of the record from the bands second movie. Dig a Pony, Let It Be 1. Watch Dragonheart: A New Beginning Youtube more. Doggerel from Lennon. The most uninteresting song on one of the bands least interesting albums. The lyrics are nonsense, but all he wants is you. Boo hoo. 2. 08. A Taste of Honey, Please Please Me 1. John Lennon, a local Liverpool tough and an incipient art school dropout, had a skiffle band. Paul Mc. Cartney, two years his junior, had a rapidly evolving understanding of music and a slightly younger guitarist schoolmate named George Harrison. Once the three jelled, the band honed its chops playing before ever more appreciative audiences in clubs in Liverpool, notably the Cavern, and in three separate residencies, with a drummer named Pete Best and a bassist named Stu Sutcliffe, in a succession of strip clubs in the red light district of Hamburg. The first of these ended when authorities discovered George Harrison was underage he was unceremoniously deported. The bands undisciplined and chaotic performances are now the stuff of legend, ranging as they did from wild American R B to the schlockiest schlock, like this. But at the end of this trial by fire playing in front of gamblers, gangsters, strippers, and thugs they emerged as tight and focused a band as can be imagined. Ask Me Why, Please Please Me 1. I love you Woo woo woo woo. Ask Me Why was one of Lennon and Mc. Cartneys first compositions, as the lyrics here attest. With a major exception, One After 9. Still, having left Sutcliffe in Hamburg, the band continued to rock the Cavern as a quartet, with Paul Mc. Cartney playing bass. A local music store owner, Brian Epstein, saw potential in the band when no one else did and reinvented himself as their manager. After hitting dead ends with all of the established British labels of the time, he put together a last shot meeting with an exec at Parlophone, an overlooked division of the conglomerate EMI. The exec was named George Martin he was really a producer, classically trained, whod fashioned a career making hit comedy albums with the likes of Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, and Peter Cook. He auditioned the band and didnt not like what he heard. He advised them to write some new material and get rid of their drummer. Free As a Bird, single 1. This single enraged me, in 1. Anthology album. It was a Lennon song from long after hed left the Beatles he sounded so vulnerable, and the studio work that had gone into making this distant sounding, crummily recorded demo sound presentable felt like too big a burden for the martyred star to bear. His former songwriting partner, one Paul Mc. Cartney, added six lines as a sort of bridge. Of the six lines, two were taken from a Shangri Las song, and they werent particularly good ones, either. Whatever happened to The love that we once knew Twenty years later, it still enrages me. Docked 1. 00 notches for corpse desecration. Not a Second Time, With the Beatles 1. You keep waiting for a redeeming melody to rise to the surface, but it doesnt come. The weirdest thing about the song is how the title words come on a low note that Lennon doesnt quite hit, a rarity for a band with such vocal precision from the start. Shes Leaving Home, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band 1. A bathetic lugubrious mess, the nadir of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.
