This list was hard to make. After all, to love their music is to need their music everywhere. There’s a Beatles track for most moments of my life; Here are 20 tracks that represent most of those moments.
20. Till There Was You from With The Beatles (1963)
19. I’m So Tired from The White Album (1968)
18. Carry That Weight from Abbey Road (1969)
17. I’m Only Sleeping from Revolver (1966)
16. You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away from Help! (1965)
Since I was 20 years old, I have published a top-10-tracks-of-all-time list. This has been a yearly occurrence simply to gauge how my listening habits change year over year. For the last, almost 10 years now, my top track of all time has always been “Sometimes” by My Bloody Valentine and this year, it’s being bumped.
My #1 track this year, when plays, nearly paralyzes my being. If driving and the song comes on, I have to pull over and let it finish before I can resume driving. It has a power over my heart and soul that very few pieces of pop culture possess. Will this track stand the test of time and rank #1 10 years from now?
