Chose 18 because that seems to be the standard for what fits on a blank cd. I know everyone is overly contraversial when it comes to The Beatles, so please feel free to disagree (or agree) with me. List subject to change, as always.








1. A Day In The Life
2. Strawberry Fields Forever
3. Across the Universe
4. Tomorrow Never Knows
5. I Am The Walrus
6. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
7. You Never Give Me Your Money
8. Happiness Is A Warm Gun
9. Piggies
I can't really think of anything else worth adding. These are the only songs they wrote I can think of that are something close to a masterpiece, though there's probably 3-5 more I'm forgetting. The vast majority are pretty much derivative, amateurish, recycled pop songs, verse-chorus-verse, etc., etc., etc. They were a competent band one could depend on for a quick fix, a good melody, but by-and-large probably the most overrated band in rock history.
