Well, any Beatles top ten best songs list would do them justice, no matter what, because they're just that good. But I still don't fully agree with this one, because they almost completely skip over the early years, moving straight from Please Please Me to Help!, as though the days of Sweet Beatles Love Songs weren't important, just because, I guess their songs weren't "mature" enough - meaning there was no way to read deep, hidden meaning into them. If it were me, I'd have made at least the first six or seven early year songs and then had a few of their best later year songs at the end. And all the later-year songs I'd pick would be love songs. For me, that's what the Beatles were all about.

I swear their words not mine but I completely agree with you. And for me all their songs are brilliant and thoughtful and I can think of a ton of songs that should've been on that listahan particularly George Harrison (and did you noticed that neither he or Ringo made the list, so unfair)

You're right - I didn't even notice that! They really should have had some Ringo and George, especially if they do want to ipakita the Beatles evolving! Don't worry, though, I know it was their words and not yours. And my tuktok Ten listahan would be completely different from theirs, but that's the beauty of the Beatles. Everyone who tries to come up with a tuktok Ten listahan will come up with something completely different, because they just don't have any mediocre or bad songs.

It's cool, I was just clarifying that I wasn't the one who wrote that. :) But what you just sinabi is exactly what I was thinking, of course my listahan would probably be a tuktok 1,000 listahan cause' it's impossible to pick just ten songs. There all so good!

That would be great! Only I don't think the Beatles had a thousand songs. Still, it would be great to have a listahan called, "The Very Best Beatles Songs" and then went on to listahan every song they ever did. You'd know it had to be a true tagahanga Pagsulat that.

Okay, a slight exaggeration, there :) but yeah it would be great to have that kind of listahan but I think it should be done sa pamamagitan ng Beatles fans.

Of course! Actually, I sometimes think that only true Beatles fans should ever be allowed to write anything about them. There could be a liscence - "certified Beatles fan".

Sure! Beatles fandom could become something like that! And then nobody would confuse being a tagahanga of the Beatles with being a tagahanga of any other band.
