I posted this to Facebook earlier today - here are my comments:

a. "She's Leaving Home" is not #213; FAIL
b. Actually, no. "She's Leaving Home" should be #212. "Mr. Moonlight" should be #213.
c. "Good Morning, Good Morning" needs to be higher than #106
d. It should definitely at least switch places with "When I'm 64" (#103)
e. Or "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (not the reprise) (#82)
f. "You Won't See Me" should be higher than #71
g. "Paperback Writer" should be higher than #40
h. "Drive My Car" should be lower than #38
i. "Tomorrow Never Knows" should be higher than #12
j. "She Said She Said" SHOULD BE HIGHER THAN #11
k. "Rain" SHOULD BE HIGHER THAN #10
l. "Here, There and Everywhere" should not be #7
m. "Penny Lane", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "A Day In the Life" ranked #3, #2, #1? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING

"Good Day Sunshine" most certainly does not "ruin" Revolver. I SAID GOOD DAY, SIR!

and "Things We Said Today" should be at least 20 notches higher I SAID GOOD DAY!

Wild Honey Pie
Mr. Moonlight (barf)
Glass Onion
I Want to Hold Your Hand (could totally do without it)

I am sure everyone will have a different bottom five, thus proving that of taste there can be no disputation.

Run For Your Life

I have a soft spot for that one because it's one of my mother's favorites and therefore one of the first ones I remember hearing. She particularly likes singing along to the part at the end of the chorus and over-emphasizing the stop after "end," as in "That's the end-UH! ...little girl."

This list, whatever its faults, is redeemed for me by "The whimsy will continue until morale improves," which will now pop into my head every time I hear "When I'm Sixty-Four" or "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" or any of the other Paul songs that sound like they belong on a vaudeville stage, sung by someone who also juggles and has a animal act.

Most of my favourite and least-favourite Beatles tracks are Paul songs.

I've realized over the years that my favorite Beatles tracks up to about 1964-ish tend to be Paul songs, from '65 to '67-ish they're mostly John songs, and from '68 onwards they're mostly George songs. (Least favorites don't seem to fit a pattern.)

'Taxman' deserves docking far more than 15 points and I don't care how 'creative' the sound is. I suggest we redistribute all its points to less fortunate songs, and maybe make it stay in 1966 until it's watched Cathy Come Home enough times to get some sodding perspective.

Jesus. Yes, de gustibus and all that, but listicles should be farmed out to writers who are either (a) moderately knowledgeable about the topic at hand or (b) able to do a smidgen of research. Two of Us has "a rambling bass track by McCartney"? Well, in the sense that there is no bass on it, but a bass-like line being played by Harrison on guitar, then yeah. I guess you could call it "rambling," though, so I will give him that. Baby, You're A Rich Man is "just another Paul McCartney nonsense song;" news to Lennon, who wrote the bulk of it, while McCartney wrote the one-line chorus.

I made it the precise midpoint, Fool on the Hill, which nominally has exactly as many songs better as worse. Sure. At that point, I checked out.

Or just like bury some gold coins for him to detect somewhere, if he'd be too proud to take charity?

160. “All Together Now,” Yellow Submarine (1969): Paul McCartney is one of the most remarkable, and luckiest, people of the 20th century. He, too, grew up marginally in a damaged city; he lost his mother at 14. More than any of the Beatles, and indeed more than just about anyone you can think of, he has radiated happiness and contentment (and not in a self-satisfied way) for most of his life. He was the era’s most successful songwriter, and, in fact, is probably the most successful songwriter of all time. He was in the biggest-selling band of the 1960s, and was probably the biggest-selling artist of the 1970s as well. The industry analyst I trust for reliable record-sales figures says that McCartney’s total is about 650 million sold in total — about 25 percent more than Michael Jackson. He was also — how to put this? — gorgeous to look at, and somehow had developed the diplomatic skills and winning nature to get what he wanted virtually all the time. He smoked marijuana heroically most of his life, and lived a great love story with his wife, Linda Eastman, until her too-early death in 1998. If Paul McCartney has a dark side, it is the voice inside him demanding that he dominate every genre of pop music with his cosmically pleasurable, almost ridiculously facile skills. Here, a number for toddlers. The excitement builds and, if you’re 4, the ending is as apocalyptic as, I don’t know, “Gimme Shelter.” Damn him.

I mean, yes, the article belongs to a played-out gimmick intended to generate clicks through outrage… but nevertheless, it’s a sincere ordering that a lot of consideration went into, and most of the disagreements I have with over- or under- rankings of specific songs at least give me a different perspective and food for thought. Bravo!

Nevertheless, I must insist that “She Said She Said” is clearly ranked 10 spots too low.

When I was a kid in the 80s, I thought my dad's record player was the coolest thing on earth. I asked for a record player of my own for Christmas in about 1987, and received a Fisher Price record player and my mom's stack of 45s from the 60s. A real standout for me was the Paperback Writer/Rain 7". I can remember flipping that thing back and forth over and over and over again, and getting in trouble specifically for listening to Rain when I was supposed to be sleeping. What a fantastic song.

Yeah, "The Ballad of John & Yoko" is great. Also I feel like this is, uh, something:

"Case in point: Showing up to 'The White Album' sessions with new girlfriend Ono, who stayed there for the duration. Outsiders had never been allowed in Beatles recording sessions, and Ono — ten years older, supposed to be a substantive artist in her own right and a pioneering feminist figure — sat silently by Lennon’s side, even following him to the bathroom. Then Lennon started using heroin. Fun times, fun times."

I mean, she was pregnant at the time, and subsequently lost the baby in what sounded like a pretty traumatic miscarriage five months along. But he's whiny. Sure.

I don't think it's a troll, but I do think anyone who writes a list like this is asking for trouble unless they're prepared to put in massively more work than went in here.

The problem is that, almost no-one would read an article called "One Fan's Short Impressions of All the Beatles Songs". So you take a subject you're enthusiastic about, and you make it into a list, because people read lists and the editor will take a list. But then the format, and your editor, encourages you to be what you think is "scathingly​ funny" about a large number of the songs, even though slagging off songs that have been in circulation for half a century doesn't really serve any purpose whatsoever, and isn't as interesting as bringing out the beautiful details in things that you otherwise don't rate. But it's an easy way to make the list make some sort of superficial sense, and people will read it, so that's what you do.

There is, at times, some interesting​ and worthwhile writing in this piece. But if you set out to write this sort of piece at all, you either need to put in a huge amount of work, or you need to accept that you're fundamentally going to end up writing clickbait, even if you do some good writing while you're doing it. I have a degree of sympathy for Mr Wyman's protests, but it's not like he hasn't done listicles before. He knew what he was getting into.

I went through this with the SO and it was good fun. Neither of us ever listen to a Beatles song of our own accord* anymore even though so many of them are in our DNA. We're always looking for stuff to disagree about.

By the time we got to Here, There, and Everywhere at #7 we were too tired to be outraged, and anyway I think Day Tripper at #30 would win most overrated by any metric that involves being ranked relatively high over songs it is definitely not fucking better than. Swap it with We Can Work It Out at #109 recommended fix.

(*Except She Said She Said which we were happy to see ranked high. For me it's somehow like the B52's Mesopotamia (or TMBG's Stand on Your Own Head w/r/t Lincoln), in that it wasn't a song I particularly liked back when, but in the long run seems to have everything I ever wanted from that band.)
posted by fleacircus at 6:46 AM on June 8, 2017

Well, as a song qua song, Day Tripper might not be all that, but it has the best riff The Beatles ever produced, and demonstrates how they actually advanced (if you accept that advancement in the arts is a thing that exists) pop music as an art form. It's a long way from Louie Louie.

"Here, There and Everywhere" does not belong in the top ten Beatles songs. That song is a fucking snoozefest. It would probably be in my bottom ten.

Aside from that, I actually thought the top ten was OK, by internet-clickbait-listicle standards. "A Day in the Life," "Dear Prudence" and "Rain" would all be in my top ten; "Eleanor Rigby" and "Norweigan Wood" might be, too. The rest of them wouldn't, but, save "Here, There and Everywhere," they're all perfectly defensible choices, in my estimation.

I give this list a solid B+.

I always approach these kinds of lists thinking, "how far into it can I get before reaching one that outrages me?" New York likes to do these ranking clickbait articles, and they previously had a Billy Joel song ranking that I thought was surprisingly decent, and a Rolling Stones one that was less so (but hey, props for actually making it through all 374 songs). Those were by other writers, however.

So, a ranking of 213 songs -- how far will I get?

213. “Good Day Sunshine,” Revolver (1966)

Oh, I see, this list will be absolute rubbish, so I can read the rest with zero expectations.

And so it was. Random example: Revolution 9 (114) above Revolution 1 (167). Really, which one have you chosen to play lately?

Sure, there was some entertaining snark, but overall FAIL.
