over at jamsbio they listed all 185 beatles songs that were officially recorded and released in order of least to most favorite.
while i completely disagree with their relegation of "i want you (she's so heavy)" to third from last place, not to mention their dismissal of "maxwell's silver hammer" at 149, or even the fact that they place "cry, baby, cry" and "penny lane" at 143 and 141, respectively - ok i've got a lot of grievances with this list - i have to give seruoues credit to them for honoring "she's leaving home" at number 3; a bold, uncoventional move, which i happen to wholeheartedly agree with.
so here, inspired by the, in part woefully inaccurate, list at jamsbio is ASP's top ten beatles songs:
10 “Getting Better”
9 “In My Life”
8 “Something”
7 “Octopus’s Garden”
6 “She Came In Through The Bathroom Window”
5 “Blackbird”
4 “Rocky Raccoon”
3 “She’s Leaving Home”
2 "A Day In The Life"
1 “Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End/Her Majesty”
what this will so clearly tell the informed reader is that i am a devotee of the later years - i could have just as well posted the track list to abbey road as my top ten - the white album, sgt. pepper's and abbey road are just about unsurpassable in my mind, though rubber soul holds a dear place in my heart. not a revolver guy.
