Instead of doing movies I have decided to do something else and I thought music was a sensible choice.

There is no denying how import the Beatles have been not only for music but pop culture and society too. There songs are unequivocally 60s but also undeniably still modern and fresh to this day.

I have chosen 56 songs because The Beatles formed in 1960, 56 years ago. The list was way longer than 56 but I have managed to narrow it down with great difficulty. There was no way I could do a ranked list as it would take me way too long but I do know what my #1 is (read below).

Also of note is something I was told once, "you know your band is good when your weakest song writer is Ringo Starr".

Here it is... (each single is followed by the album it was first on was and you can find a Spotify playlist below of my choices)
