Ranking the Top 100 Beatles Songs – Part 1

The Beatles, the most influential band of all time, deserve the ultimate list. I decided to make a ranking of their 100 greatest songs and devote a major video to this list on my YouTube channel.

Now, this video – published in two parts and totaling 43 minutes of screentime – was quite an undertaking and took me eight months to complete. Compiling the list was relatively tough because the boys have made so many masterpieces. Special thanks to the ever-knowledgeable Jan Bletz for his helpful input. The really tough part was creating the video itself though.

Make no mistake: getting to 43 minutes of edited video can be a real nightmare. Many things go wrong: technical issues, copyright claims of YouTube, the stress of perfectionism and more. Respect for anybody who does this for a living.

That said, I’m pretty happy with the final result – flaws and all. So without further ado, I proudly present the ultimate Beatles playlist, in two parts. I hope you enjoy it.
