Your preferences may vary, but these are undeniably the work of legends at the top of their game. But you’ll also find the best of the world’s most influential band. As such, you’ll definitely find some favourites missing here (no songs about the sun made the cut, and poor Ringo got left out entirely). In polling the biggest Beatlemaniacs on our roster, we discovered, unsurprisingly, love for every era of Beatledom, from the gruffer Hamburg days to the Ravi Shankar era. Which makes ranking the 50 best Beatles songs particularly difficult. Still, even the most basic Beatles number is worth a listen. There are also many, many songs about dessert foods, sea creatures and whatever popped into Paul’s brain during his afternoon doobie. There are genuine masterpieces in their discography. John, Paul, George and Ringo penned some of the greatest songs in modern music during their eight years together, but let’s be honest – not all Beatles tunes are equal. Now – 60 years past the British Invasion – Beatlemania is once again percolating thanks to Peter Jackson’s buzzy six-part Disney+ documentary, Get Back. They went from boy band to experimental musicians, fads to film stars. They introduced the mainstream to cheeky Britishisms, shaggy hair and psychedelia. The Fab Four altered the very DNA of pop music. After they had reached the “bottom”, they would “go back to the top of the slide”, or emerge from their underground city and rule the blacks.The Beatles parted ways way back in 1969, but the band never for a second left the pop-culture conversation, their legacy cemented by a catalogue of timeless hits and a neverending debate about which are the best Beatles songs. The white race would be exterminated, except for Manson and his Family who would be waiting in a secret city under the earth. This would eventually lead to explosive retribution by the whites, which would lead to an internecine war between racist and non-racist whites. Therefore, Manson and his family had to trigger the war by encouraging young, sexually-liberated white females to join the Family, thus depriving and frustrating the black man and causing him to break out in war against the whites. He had also come to the conclusion that the black man couldn’t do anything without the white man showing him the way. ‘Helter Skelter’ was the term used by Manson to describe the eventual apocalyptical explosion that was “coming down fast”.īy 1969, Manson was certain that Helter Skelter was swiftly approaching.

Racial tensions between blacks and whites are inevitably high. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famed dream for equality has ended with a bullet entering his cheek and piercing his spinal cord, before settling into his shoulder. Yet one man’s interpretation of this song would send bloodcurdling chills down the spines of a peace- and pot-loving, flowering and deflowering, violence- and Vietnam-protesting generation. “‘Cuz I like noise,” is Paul McCartney’s succinct explanation behind the song. The song is ‘Helter Skelter’, written by Paul McCartney, and performed by the Beatles on their eponymous LP, popularly known as the White Album.
