Dla zagorzałego, niepoprawnego i obsesyjnie śledzącego karierę największego zespołu wszech czasów, żadne pytanie nie może być bardziej przerażające: jaka jest najlepsza piosenka Beatlesów? Całe noce przy barowych stolikach, w zamkniętych pokojach, salach lekcyjnych są codziennie przekraczane, w różnych miejscach na świecie, w celu osiągnięcia niemożliwego konsensusu na ten temat.Dziennikarz Bill Wyman poszedł jeszcze gorzej: wymienił, od najgorszego do najlepszego, w rankingu, nie mniej niż wszystkie piosenki kiedykolwiek wydane przez Beatlesów.

Zespół w 1963 roku

Beatlesi byli największym kulturowym i muzycznym fenomenem ery nowożytnej i aby zrozumieć kulturę, rock i muzykę XX wieku od tamtego czasu aż do dziś, trzeba ich dogłębnie przestudiować. I to właśnie zrobił Wyman dla strony internetowej Vulture, argumentując w swoim artykule powody, na przykład, dlaczego "The Long and Winding Road" jest 45. najlepszą piosenką Beatlesów lub "Strawberry Fields Forever" drugą najlepszą.Kryteria są wyjaśnione w tekście każdego utworu, ale polemika może rozpocząć się w momencie, gdy zaczniesz czytać - w końcu to mission impossible.

Ostatni utwór, na przykład "Good Day Sunshine", znajduje się na albumie Rewolwer Jest to więc rywalizacja mistrzów, w której nawet ostatnie miejsce na liście może być jednym z najlepszych utworów jakiegokolwiek innego zespołu - w tak ważnym repertuarze doskonałość to minimum, a trzeba być maksimum, by po prostu znaleźć się w średniej.

Pierwsze miejsce było jednak nieco spodziewane: "A Day In The Life", utwór zamykający nietykalny album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band jest wielokrotnie uznawana nie tylko za najlepszą piosenkę zespołu, ale za jedną z najlepszych i najpiękniejszych piosenek w historii - co dokładnie celebruje partnerstwo Lennona i McCartneya (ponieważ jest to rzeczywiście piosenka skomponowana przez nich obu) oraz doskonałość ich ponownego spotkania z George'em Harrisonem i Ringo Starrem (który oferuje swoją najbardziej imponującą i kreatywną kompozycjęperkusja dla tego klasyka).

W czasach Sgt. Pepper's

Niezależnie od tego, czy się z tym zgadzasz, czy nie, lista jest pysznym, pełnym talerzem do karmienia niekończącej się i bezcelowej debaty, ale takiej, która porusza serca i uszy od ponad 50 lat, wokół repertuaru najlepszego zespołu wszechczasów - o czym świadczy pełna lista poniżej, od najgorszego do najlepszego, lub oryginalny artykuł, w którym w języku angielskim dziennikarz szczegółowo opisuje swój wybór.
