It is very difficult to produce a list of The Beatles best and worst songs, because one day your favourite may be - Revolution, then the next day it may be - Nowhere Man. And as for the worst songs, well that's like a 16 year olds cock watching porn ( very hard indeed, though I'm only going from my own experience here, ) Some say Maxwells Silver Hammer, but there was a poll done somewhere and Ob-la-di Ob-la-da was voted the worst song of all time, not just the worst Beatles song, but the worst song ever. It isn't one of their better efforts, but it's still better than Stand And Deliver, or Antmusic, by Adam And The Pants. Anything is better than the stuff they've managed to produce, although Mariah Carey is still around, so maybe not, and anyway I just put that in to be controversial.
I haven't actually made up a top 10 in my head yet. I think I'll break it up, into 2 groups, 1962-1966 ( it seems such a long time ago doesn't it?) and 1967-1970, so I'll go and have a browse through my collection, and make a couple of lists, then come back and put them on here, and you can either agree or disagree with my picks.
Right I've done a list of my favourites. They're not in any order of preference, but they are '62-'66, & '67-'70.
1) If I Fell, It's about falling in love, and not wanting to get hurt, because it's happened before, and I'm sure that most of us will have loved & lost at some time.
2)Please Please Me, I just like it, that's all.
3)Do You Want To Know A Secret? Very sentimental & personal.
4) I'm Only Sleeping, This is the song I want played at my funeral, that'll spook them all.
5)Nowhere Man, Are we all Nowhere Men/women?
6)Girl, I just like it, some songs, I just like, for some reason that I can't explain, and this is one of them.
7)In My Life. This is one of my all time favourites, it could be about me, you, everybody, simply brilliant, in my humble opinion.
8)You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, I think this is about rejection, and the fear of making a fool of yourself, as you get older, the fear subsides ( well it did for me)
9) You're Going To Lose That Girl, another one of those tracks that I just like, maybe it's the up-tempo beat??
10) This Boy, a lovely love song, possibly about a boy wanting a girl, that is outwith his reach, so he yearns for her from a distance?
11) OK so I know that I said " My Top 10", but I can't. HELP! was this a cry for HELP from John Lennon?
12) She Loves you ( Yeah, Yeah) This is the very first song that I remember, my brothers, who are both very much older than myself, had got this as a single, and played it non-stop for weeks ( we shared a record player with a neighbour ( hey we were poor)
13) All My Loving, A love song with a good beat to it, although I have heard it played a bit slower.
14) Norwegian Wood ( This Bird Has Flown) I could listen to this all day, I once had a girl, or should I say she once had me. That's the opening line, which was a bit risque at the time ?
I will do the 1967-1970 list in a seperate posting as my back and legs are getting very sore sitting here. Would any of these songs make it onto YOUR lists???

The Beatles Best and Worst songs?
A Bit About Me
I was planning to do a Beatles Music list, however I am not very healthy today. I have had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or ME for the past 9 years. It gives me back problems, bowel problems, sinus problems, living problems. Getting out of bed is a challenge every day. I get bad headaches if I stay in bed too long, so I have to get up or things will be worse for me. I am not feeling very good today, so this post may stop abruptly at any time. I have been doing blogs for over a year now, under different guises, and on different blogging sites. I don't know why I keep changing my blogging name, sometimes I may not like someone who posts comments that are nasty. Some of my friends may find it very irritating, but that's tough. It is my blog, it is the only thing in my life that I can do whatever I want with, and I will continue to do what I like with MY blog. At the moment my back is very sore, my left thigh is bloody agony, my throat feels like I've been trying to consume large quantities of broken glass, I can't venture too far from the toilet, maybe I will feel better later on, maybe not though.
You shouldn't criticise someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes ( although it would take you a long time to walk/shuffle a mile in my shoes/slippers) or lived like they do for a period of time. At the moment my life is shit, tomorrow may be a better day, who knows? I'm going now, hopefully I'll be back soon, and without all the pain and stress that goes with it. It is like a circle, you get stressed out over something, then you get the pain, then you get stressed out over the pain, then you get more pain, which stresses you even more, which gives you even more pain, I think you can see the circle now, so relax, take some me time, before you end up like ME.
