The Beatles Rock Band - Top 10 Beatles Songs

The Beatles Rock Band - Top 10 Beatles Songs

In preparation for the release of The Beatles: Rock Band, we're going to go through the top 10 Beatles songs. It's actually a lot harder to come up with than we thought, with not only such a large library of songs to choose from, but also deciding on not including a a hell of a lot of great songs.

We expect that many of you will disagree with this list, and that's fine, because it's in no way definitive, but rather just a collection of songs we believe to be the best of the best Beatles tracks. Feel free to debate/criticise/flame/hack if you see fit.

The Beatlest Rock Band is available from today for Wii, Playstation 3 and XBOX 360.

Good top 10!

Tomorrow never knows as #2 though... good song, but #2?? I don't think it really sums up The Beatles which I think a top 10 list should do..

The rest seem to fit pretty well as a sum up of their career. Not that I would choose Hey Jude in my top 10 (classic single but I've heard Paul's piano ballads too many times, and the fact that it [and Let it be] is the first song that a lot of people would choose from a juke box annoys me a bit).

Some of my favourites that aren't listed are:

And your bird can sing
Happiness is a warm gun
Tell me why
Oh! Darling
Baby's in black
I me mine
I've got a feeling (I love how John and Paul each sing their respective lines and then overlap them during the last verse)
Hello Goodbye
Rocky Racoon
Sexy Sadie
Cry Baby Cry (the Anthology version is great too)


Important career defining tracks (IMO) that aren't listed are:

Love you do
She loves you
Can't buy me love (these 3 are obvious; as well as probably I wanna hold your hand)
You've got to hide your love away
Yesterday (holds the record for the most covered in history - I'm personally sick of it)
Ticket to ride
All you need is love
Yellow submarine
Day Tripper
We can work it out
While my guitar gently weeps (purely because it was George's first real recognition as a great song writer [especially by the other Beatles]

Ran out of room.

More unlisted favourites:

The middle songs from Sgt. Pepper's (Getting Better, Fixing a Hole, She's Leaving Home, Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite!)

All My Loving (it's great how Paul swings that bass live at the same time as he sings)

And let's not forget Free As A Bird and Real Love (the songs Paul, George and Ringo got together and recorded using old recordings of John's during the Anthology making [and a few years before George died]). Both beautiful songs.

You are right though, there are too many to choose from. We haven't even listed anything from Abbey Road (except Oh! Darling) and that's their final masterpiece before breaking up (Side A singles!!!; Side B medley!!!)

How could you possible choose 10 songs out of all the songs they did?? I would find it impossible!
Just love the game though and plodding through all the songs at my own pace.
