to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

It is a difficult one. I feel like I want to squeeze almost a third of their entire work into that list. But I will give it a go anyway. Am I supposed to make a top 10 with a 10th place, 9th place and so on, or just pick ten songs in no particular order?

So, in no particular order:
Yesterday
In My Life
Eleanor Rigby
For No One
Strawberry Fields Forever
A Day In the Life
I Am the Walrus
Hey Jude
Come Together
Something

But many other songs could easily have fit in. All these songs are painfully left out:
And I Love Her
Things We Said Today
Help!
We Can Work It Out
Norwegian Wood
Taxman
Tomorrow Never Knows
Penny Lane
Getting Better
Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kte
The Fool On the Hill
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
I'm So Tired
Blackbird
Long Long Long
Revolution 9 (!)
I Want You (She's So Heavy)

1. Strawberry Fields Forever (my absolutely fave Beatles song and will always be!!)
2. Tomorrow Never Knows
3. a Day In the Life
4. Across the Universe
5. Dear Prudence
6. Because
7. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
8. Paperback Writer
9. You´ve Got to Hide Your Love Away
10. Every Little Thing

So much leave out!! And yes, Lennon is my fav, no George song make it (although love really many of his) at least there are one Paul song (Paperback). To me Beatles is not the greatest but most important band in pop music, because I believe all the popmusic (also prog) would have much more boring without Beatles (of course we will never know it because that alternative don´t exist).

2. Yesterday.
3. Norwegian Wood.
4. Eleanor Rigby.
5. A day in the life.
6. Hey Jude.
7. While my guitar gently weeps.

With While my Guitar Gently Weeps being my absolute favourite, and A Day in the Life perhaps my second.
