This is certainly a bold list. I have a tough time picking my favorite Beatles songs, they're all so damn good. My favorite, would have to be "A Day in the Life". So far from taking a quick glance at your list, I would probably have these songs higher if I were to do a list: "Chains", "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite", "Run For Your Life" and "Glass Onion".
I really love the idea of this countdown though!
This is a cool exercise. I wouldn't know where to begin. Did you start with your favorite and work from there? Did you listen to them all while you were doing this?
I actually started ranking them by album, throwing in the singles with the closest album, and then combining albums until I got to two lists. Best of '63-'66 and best of '67-'70. I then combined the two lists, tweaked it a little and there you go. I listened to every song multiple times during the rankings. I'm still not completely happy with the list though.
WOW! An ambitious and interesting project. I love it. I don't know if I could ever be happy with a list like this, it would be constantly changing.
