Just because I have finally got round to doing it, here is my Top 64 (had to be really!) Beatle songs - of course it would change if I did it next week. I have stated the principle songwriter, I am sure a couple of those might be debatable but if in doubt I have gone with the main singer on the track. Anyway, it seems that Paul is the best Beatle...or my favourite anyway!
Paul - 35 songs I John - 25 songs I Georgie 4 songs

ReplyDeleteThis list is very similar to what I'd choose. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteI would want to add:
-Do You Want To Know A Secret
-Please Please Me
-I want you (she's so heavy)
-For You Blue
-You've got to hide your love away
-I will
-Because
(+possibly Octopus's Garden, Old Brown Shoe, Baby's in Black, Free as a Bird and That Means a Lot)
To make room I would remove:
-I'll be back
-And your bird can sing
-It won't be long
-You can't do that
-You won't see me
-Oh Darling
(+possibly Taxman, Day tripper and Nowhere man)
