OK, due to circumstances beyond our reach, we admit to having an inordinate amount of free time lately, but we never considered the best implementation of time management available to us was to rank all of The Beatles' songs from worst to best, AND write short essays on each explaining why. But the folks over at JamsBio have taken it upon themselves to do just that with Playing The Beatles Backwards: The Ultimate Countdown.
We're not gonna go full-on into discrepancies--JamsBio lump Abbey Road's "The End" with the "Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight" medley which gives them 185 original songs by the Fabs, while in his esteemed tome Revolution in the Head, the late Beatles scholar Ian MacDonald does not follow suit, thus arriving at 186; we're going with the latter, thank you, very much--or dissenting opinions we may have--"I Am the Walrus" #2? She Loves You #24? "Oh! Darling #78? "Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da" #90? "Long, Long, Long" #179? "Honey Pie" #184? Really?--so check out the list for yourself and see where your favorites ended up.
(Maybe this will get God I Hate Your Band off his lazy ass and give us that McCartney/Wings list he owes us since forever...)
