This is my personal ranking of every Beatles song. And when
I say “every” Beatles song, I mean just their studio albums (so not the
Anthology) and not soundtrack stuff that George Martin did for them (mostly
applies to the “Yellow Submarine” soundtrack). However I am counting all of
their singles and covers that they did on their albums.
Note: The ranking here is basically me thinking “which song
would I rather listen to on average?” there are times when this list is wrong
and I’m in the mood for something different. But I think overall I did an ok
job with it.
Another Note: I’ve also classified them according to what
album they’re from. AR=Abbey Road, WA=the White Album, FS=Beatles For Sale,
HDN=A Hard Day’s Night, H!=Help!, LIB=Let It Be, MMT=Magical Mystery Tour,
PM=Past Masters (singles), PPM=Please Please Me, R=Revolver, RS=Rubber Soul,
SPLHCB=Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, WTB=With the Beatles, and
YS=Yellow Submarine
