Pro zavilého, nenapravitelného a posedlého stoupence kariéry nejlepší kapely všech dob nemůže být žádná otázka děsivější: jaká je nejlepší píseň Beatles? Celé noci u barových stolů, v uzavřených místnostech, v učebnách se denně křižují na různých místech světa, aby se na tomto tématu dosáhlo nemožné shody.Novinář Bill Wyman šel ještě hůř: v žebříčku seřadil od nejhorší po nejlepší ne méně než všechny písně, které kdy Beatles vydali.

Kapela v roce 1963

Beatles byli největším kulturním a hudebním fenoménem moderní doby, a abyste pochopili kulturu, rock a hudbu 20. století od té doby až dodnes, musíte je důkladně prostudovat. A právě to Wyman pro web Vulture udělal a ve svém článku argumentoval důvody, proč je například "The Long and Winding Road" 45. nejlepší písní Beatles nebo "Strawberry Fields Forever" 2. nejlepší.Kritéria jsou vysvětlena v textu každé skladby, ale polemika může začít ve chvíli, kdy začnete číst - je to přece mise nemožná.

Například poslední skladba "Good Day Sunshine" je na albu. Revolver Jde tedy o soutěž mistrů, v níž i na posledním místě v žebříčku může být jedna z nejlepších písní kterékoli jiné skupiny - v repertoáru takového významu je dokonalost minimem a k pouhému zařazení do průměru je třeba být maximem.

První místo však bylo poněkud očekávané: "A Day In The Life", píseň, která nedotknutelné album uzavírá. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band je opakovaně uznávána nejen jako nejlepší píseň skupiny, ale i jako jedna z nejlepších a nejkrásnějších písní vůbec - což přesně vystihuje partnerství Lennona a McCartneyho (protože jde skutečně o píseň složenou oběma) a dokonalost jejich opětovného spojení s Georgem Harrisonem a Ringo Starrem (který nabízí svou nejpůsobivější a nejkreativnější skladbububny pro tuto klasiku).

V době vydání alba Sgt. Pepper's

Ať už s ním souhlasíte, nebo ne, seznam je lahodným plným talířem pro nekonečnou a bezúčelnou debatu, která však už více než 50 let hýbe srdci a ušima kolem repertoáru nejlepší kapely všech dob - jak dokazuje níže uvedený kompletní seznam od nejhoršího po nejlepší nebo původní článek, v němž novinář v angličtině podrobně popisuje svůj výběr.
