I use the songs on those releases to create this ranking, with some ephemera (like the German versions of вЂњShe Loves YouвЂќ and вЂњI Want to Hold Your Hand,вЂќ or George MartinвЂ™s Yellow Submarine orchestrations) ignored, with a few other interesting tracks that have dribbled out over the decades added in. This doesnвЂ™t get said enough: These songs were specifically designed to pack their punch at high volume. Try вЂem 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 SpitzвЂ™s close-to-definitive The Beatles engineer Geoff EmerickвЂ™s memoir, Here, There, and Everywhere and the engrossing podcast Something About the Beatles, hosted by Briton Richard Buskin and American Robert Rodriguez. Please let me know if I conflated any facts or misrepresented anything in the comments section below, or publicly humiliate me on Twitter 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 didnвЂ™t fuss about it itвЂ™s what they wanted to do. вЂњ Good Day Sunshine,вЂќ Revolver (1966): Paul McCartney was welcome to write all the happy, upbeat, cheery-cheery songs he wanted. Even by McCartney standards (вЂњGetting Better,вЂќ вЂњHello GoodbyeвЂќ) the title is inane. It could have been вЂњYum Food Delicious,вЂќ or вЂњHot Sex Baby,вЂќ or any other three random words McCartney took out of his Young ManвЂ™s Collection of Positive Synonyms - and note that of these three choices McCartney chose the blandest. McCartneyвЂ™s piano playing, which graced so many Beatles songs, right up to вЂњA Day in the Life,вЂќ is a parody of itself. ItвЂ™s the worst song in the BeatlesвЂ™ classic period. And it ruins Revolver, otherwise the most consistent and mind-blowing collection of pop-rock songs ever conceived by man.An unreleased George Harrison song has been made available with a new video to mark the 50th anniversary of his first post- Beatles album, All Things Must Pass. Titled вЂњCosmic Empire,вЂќВ the song isВ one of 30 rough recordings included in the extended edition of the 1970В LP 26 of those have been officiallyВ released.
