SilentVamp's Top 50 Songs of The Beatles
 

Most everyone seems to do some sort of countdown around here. I have yet to give it a try. And today I figured "Why not?". But what kind of countdown?

Well, there are enough director and film countdowns right now. So, I won't get into any of that any time soon. The TV one is very intriguing (I watch a lot of TV!), but that can wait, too.

I actually have a notebook with a bunch of lists for different things that I created a few years ago. These lists were generally created out of sheer boredom. I spent a lot of time sitting around in the hospital (for someone else - not me). And then I just started to create various lists. Over the years I updated them or changed some around.

I was looking through the lists the other day and saw The Beatles. And that is the one that I decided to use. I have been on a Beatle kick, anyway, lately. :)

The original list is actually longer than this will be, but I didn't want to get carried away. :)

Just letting you know now that there are 2 songs that will NOT be on this list:
Yesterday
Michelle
I hate them.

I know a lot of my choices won't be songs that are universally liked, but I don't care because I like them. :)

So, let's begin!

Cool. Hope to see a lot from The White Album. That's my favorite of theirs.

50. Good Night

I know a lot of people might think "WHY THIS!?!?". Why not? :) I've always liked this nice little song written by John. It is a nice, calming waltz. And I love George Martin's arrangement.

49. Every Little Thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPLnyiLaGn4

I have no real reason for why I like this song. I just do.

There should be at least 5 songs from there. :)

I gave you rep for starting this list, but I'm sad to see that "Yesterday" won't be on the list. I'm not a big Beatles fan, (don't love them, don't dislike them either), but "Yesterday" is one of my favorite songs.

Big +rep for starting this thread. I will be following. But man, did you start off with some lame songs. :D I'd put "Good Night" in my five least favorite Beatle songs. But it'll be awesome by the time you're finished.

Re: SilentVamp's Top 50 Songs of The Beatles
 

Good Night is kind of fun. Not the best track on it's parent album (or even close really), but I don't mind it.

Re: SilentVamp's Top 50 Songs of The Beatles
 

Looking forward to this :). Like Kaplan I'm not a big fan of either of those, but I'm sure I'd have a few of those if I attempted this. Glad you're not including Yesterday, great song but I've heard it enough for this lifetime.

Thanks for the one thing, and I'm sorry for the other. :) I just don't care for it. I think the only version I kind of liked was the one that Boyz II Men recorded. Even if I am not a big fan, I do know all of the words. That gets to be a little frustrating to sing along with a song that I don't even like. :rolleyes: :)

You guys have to prepare yourselves for a little bit more lameness before this list is done. :D Like I said, I know I have a tendency to like songs that a lot of other people don't. But I guarantee there will be at least one that will meet your approval. :)

That may be my problem with it. I have just heard it too much. I don't know. It just doesn't do anything for me. It never really did.

Re: SilentVamp's Top 50 Songs of The Beatles
 

Trust me I love The Beatles. It is statistically impossible that I'll only like one ;)

48. Anytime At All
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjr9XOviDSw

Just another one that I like for no particular reason.

47. I Will
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx_APcTyIUg
Just a nice, little, sweet song. :)

Re: SilentVamp's Top 50 Songs of The Beatles
 

Nice list Vamp! I understand about Yesterday....I've heard it so many times. I'll be watching to see if you get to my favorite Beatles songs.:)

46. The Night Before
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGUeOcCmUVU
I've always felt that "Help!" was actually a very underrated album. This is the first of the songs from the album that will be making the list. For me, it is one of those songs that I get into the moment it starts.

Re: SilentVamp's Top 50 Songs of The Beatles
 

I like The Night Before and also think Help! is a bit underrated. If there is such a thing as an underrated Beatles album.

45. Your Mother Should Know
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xycaGZtusmo
I like this song. I really do. If I didn't, it would be on the list! But I love this clip. Look at Ringo in the beginning. The one who should have the best rhythm is the one who is a little quick in his timing. :) I can never get enough of this. :D

Well, I am sure there will be something on this list (I hope! :D).
.
Well, I suppose I should say one of their least appreciated albums. How about that? :)


I wanted to average about 2 songs a day. But I may not be here tomorrow. So, I threw those last two in today. :)

Re: SilentVamp's Top 50 Songs of The Beatles
 

I really like "The Night Before." You know that list I have of my five least favorite Beatle songs? "Your Mother Should Know" is on it. Oh, well.

Well, if I have listed 2 out of the 5 songs, maybe I will manage to come up with the other 3. There's still time. :D
