An article I wrote re the "best" Beatles' songs, recently published on Culture Catch.

Brave man!

I'm quite fond of Michelle (not on your list) as I remember my family had a French student staying with us at the time called (yes you've guessed it) Michelle. I thought (being only about 4 or 5) that the song was specially written for her (ah bless)

So many great songs , no place for Ticket To Ride or Paper Back Writer either ,another two of my favourites and interestingly no place for The Long and Winding Road.

It's a good list....but the medley absolutely should have made it....and there's no list of Top 50 Beatles songs (that's a lotta songs!) that's complete without "Rain".

I am the ocean
Lit by the flame
I am the mountain
Peace is my name
I am the river
Touched by the wind
I am the story
I never end.

Great list and good to see so many selections from Revolver, my second favourite, numero uno being Abbey Road. If In My Life was in the list, I missed it and if it wasn't, that's one I would have liked to see. But it's Beatles and they have so many great songs.

And in the end is a classic piece of music, and seems the likely inspiration for the coda in Mr Blue Skies by ELO.
