"ringo has a s e x y n o s e"

Paul McCartney wrote When I'm 64 at the age of 16.

“ob-la-di ob-la-da is filler” >>angry, heavy breathing because obladi oblada is my go-to good vibes song

i almost cried when he said don't let me down was an ok song

The Beatles: From Good to Best.

IVE GAHT BLISTAHS ON MY FINGAHS

The Wiggles: Worst to Best

*Ringo has a sexy nose* - Random lady 1964

Imagine calling here comes the sun another happy Beatles song

Ringo might have a sexy nose, but nothing's better than George's hot eyelashes.

Am I the only person who like Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da?

"the lyrics are mostly about love, and other corny things like that"

I respect your opinion but the early years were so much more impactful and important than you make them out to be.

He’s so harsh on the old Beatles lol

I can’t believe he forgot the greatest Beatles song of all time *Wild Honey Pie*

I feel like if John accidentally ran over one of the fan girls they’d still be screaming in joy

" Happiness is a warm gun is 'ok' " lol

"All My Loving" is a classic song from "With The Beatles"

I can’t believe he talked about Revolver but didn’t bring up Tomorrow Never Knows.

I read that George Martin said once that not including "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" in Sgt Pepper was a "dreadful mistake". I would agree with him, and because of that my personal list has "Magical Mystery tour" at the top.

the dude just dropped a "just another happy beatles song" at here comes the sun

Obladi oblada is a great song, why does everyone hate it man.

Interviewer: How did you find America? John: Turned left from Greenland

Their early albums made them famous. Their later albums made them LEGENDARY

“Ringo has a *sexy nose* !” So, is this what women want?

Not mentioning Hey Bulldog and Tomorrow Never Knows is a crime.

Me: Sees number 9 a hard days night *cough* I’m not okay

I am sorry but Ob La Di Ob La Da was a masterpiece in itself

Ouch. Rubber Soul is my favourite Beatles album.

Imagine not mentioning drive my car absolute banger

13. There 12. Is 11. No 10. Way 9. You 8. Could 7. Possibly 6. Rank 5. These 4. Iconic 3. Beatles 2. Albums 1. Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

What blows my mind isn’t necessarily how influential the Beatles are, but the fact that they accomplished so much with thirteen albums in a span of only SEVEN YEARS.

When a beatles fan mentions yellow submarine but forget about hey bulldog.

I can't believe he missed the song Dear Prudence on the White Album.....love that one!!!

“They’re not my favorite band, but I think that their the best band that ever lived”

she’s leaving home is a masterpiece

I think he's a little too dismissive of the early beatles albums, they still sounded so good and were so catchy, like come on.

In abbey road, he says after sun king the next few songs blend together. Yeah, it’s a medley, they literally blend together, that’s the point.

Fun fact: Sargeant Pepper was inspired by pet sounds which was inspired by Revolver! Pretty cool! Sgt. Pepper is ranked 1st in Rolling Stones greatest albums list

Revolver album cover looks like a chipotle bag

Billy-I'm 63 and lived through the Beatles 'era,' and am glad you made this video because it's interesting to me how you perceive the very same music which the older crowd know so well. I'm also interested because when my generation of people were your age we DIDN'T like our parents' music (in general) whereas your generation, by liking The Beatles, is liking your GRANDPARENTS' music. I must confess, because The Beatles' music was always the music of youth as it came out, I find it hard even now to think of it as 'older people's' music. Their songs still sound youthful and fresh to me, and mostly not 'dated.' May I give you some reactions to your video and perspectives? In the 1960s The Beatles were, first of all, unusual because their sound was different and unique compared to everything else we'd heard so far. Their 'mop top' haircuts perhaps did as much to make them stand out as their music did, and I remember a big older-generation backlash against their long haircuts. (For example, the barbershop my dad took me to as a kid listed its different haircut styles and prices and among them was "Beetle-$3.00" (the name "Beatle" was PURPOSELY misspelled to be derogatory and the $3.00 price was deliberately the MOST expensive haircut available, again to show disdain for the look and, if possible, discourage it. Even so, the look caught on fairly quickly and during the 1960s the Beatle 'mop top' cut became the norm (you can even see the Beach Boys go from their clean-cut earlier image to the Beatle haircuts and psychedelic clothes). I think we may have garnered a different perception of The Beatles at the time because we grew and developed along with them gradually as they themselves grew and developed-they 'led along' their audience, who changed readily enough, album by album, to keep up with them. Your perception of the earlier Beatles albums as not as interesting strikes me as curious, and I think it's because I retain such a love for the earlier albums because they were so novel at the time compared to everything else that was available. For those earlier albums, their penchant to write love songs most of the time wasn't received as artistic 'shallowness'-and that's my word not yours-because so much of popular music in those days was along those lines as a sort of expected and standard thing. As a kid I remember thinking "I Wanna Be Your Man" which contains the line "I wanna be your lover baby…" was a bit risqué-can you believe that? Even so, it doesn't come close to their later line "Why don't we do it in the road?" For their time, The Beatles could be a little edgy. John and Yoko's "Two Virgins" album cover was downright scandalous for its time. I think what I appreciate most about their earlier albums is that they're closer in time to The Beatles' Hamburg days when they became a tight, tight band as performers. Some of that edginess carries over into their earlier records, although they had to grow accustomed to the process of recording in the studio, which is different than playing live on a stage in a club or theater, and the studio work can be its own kind of stressful and even somewhat inhibiting experience-mainly because you're striving to not make mistakes, whereas in live performance you're striving to make great band tightness and great interaction with the audience-mistakes come what may. Again, their earlier albums are full of The Beatles finding themselves as songwriters even as they'd already found themselves as a cohesive band. I think there's also a sociological aspect to the earlier albums which can be missed by experiencing the music alone. Radio airplay in those days was perhaps an equally important exposure for their music as were records, and singles were sometimes even more important than albums (which cost more and took longer to listen to, whereas singles played on radio were short and free, and played quite frequently). What smart phones are to teenagers today the transistor radio was to my generation-just about every young person either had one or wanted one. At times during the first half of the 1960s The Beatles as people and as an image and popular phenomenon were at least equally as important as their music. Kids wanted to hear them interviewed, to read about them and see their pictures in the teen magazines, and of course to see them on TV and (once A HARD DAY'S NIGHT was released) in films. Their Liverpudlian accents and dish-it-right-back humor were novel and even captivating. When their films were broadcast on TV later, they were special events like the annual broadcast of THE WIZARD OF OZ was back then. Beatles' appearances on THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW were national phenomena as well, and all of this fueled Beatlemania, which became larger than life and than The Beatles themselves. My mom's generation had the 'bobby soxers'-the teenage girls who screamed at performances by the young Frank Sinatra-but that was small-scale compared to the firestorm of enthusiasm The Beatles caused worldwide, and for a number of years. Once they became a studio-only band, Beatlemania faded somewhat but many American kids were so hooked that we looked forward to every new album or video appearance, as Phil Collins has said, like Christmas morning when opening presents. The Beatles kept changing their music, partly to keep up with the times and partly leading the change in the times. I think where I would rate their albums somewhat differently than you did (which is OK) is in terms of the societal impact their songs made during my youth, the personal memories I have which accompany their songs-their songs being the 'soundtrack' during particular years/times back then-and so forth. For example, "Can't Buy Me Love"/"You Can't Do That" was the first Beatles single I ever bought (actually, my mom bought it for me because I asked for it), so even though CBML is a fairly straightforward early song (modified 12 bar blues verse, Intro based on the chords of the Bridge, etc.) it's special to me for that reason. But I also well remember, and still think, that as a performance that record is just EXCELLENT. Again-the early Beatles recordings got a big 'boost up' from their Hamburg days and that carried over into their early albums, probably because even when they recorded those earlier records they did it more like a live performance would be done. Later on, as four and eight track tape became available, they spent more time perfecting invdividual tracks in the studio and that can sometimes seem to take some of the live-performance 'electricity' away. Sgt. Pepper is widely considered their most important and best album, but its songs are also among the hardest to replicate if you are deeply into their music and perform it yourself. Kids in the 1960s all wanted guitars (acoustic at least) so we could play our favorite artists' songs ourselves, and the Sgt. Pepper songs are much harder to self-perform than is the earlier material or some of the best later songs. Also, many of the songs on SP are written in 'nonstarndard' song-forms. I think SP is their most innovative album where the quality of all the tracks is super high, although as a concept album it's also a very variegated smorgasbord of songs, some of which don't seem very related to each other. (And that's OK because it reflects the four of them going in different directions while still retaining cohesion as a band.) My own least favorite Beatles album is the White Album-I THINK because of the length and also because the 'vibe' of the songs is beginning to reflect the band's interpersonal tensions and cynicism/sarcasm; it strikes me as reflecting more about the band's own tensions (and perhaps fatigue as well) than being about fan-oriented artistry. My own favorite whole albums are actually "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help!" because of the tunefulness and solidity of the songs, plus the band tightness is still there. However, I also love that George Harrison's songwriting bloomed and was allowed greater exposure on the later albums. All of that said, there are tracks on EVERY Beatles album that I especially love and would't want to be without.

"the next few songs kind of blend together for me" Yyeah, that's why it's called the medley. Several song fragments were assembled into a single song. "Mean Mr Mustard"'s sister's name became Pam to connect with "Polythene Pam", and so on.

“A hard days night, it’s pretty good” this man is on crack

That whole time he was talking about Abbey Road he didn’t even mention “Here Comes the Sun” I know I sound cliche but you can’t deny how good it is.

I wish you mentioned Hey bulldog. One of their best harder rock songs off of Yellow submarine.

HELP is John showing the effect Beatlemania had on him. Very honest and pretty deep!

“I’m only sleeping” is my favorite Beatles song

Personally Queen is my favorite band but I think that the Beatles was the most influential band ever

Did.. he just skip Because?

"Strawberry Fields Forever" is so fantastic yes. And thanks for mentioning "Rocky Raccoon," too.

Finally somebody who agrees! Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite! is an absolute masterpiece from Sgt. Pepper's. It is very creative and has some mind blowing instrumentation put into it. It is definitely somewhere in my top 20 Beatles songs and is the third best song on Pepper's.

I don’t know why so many people don’t like ob-la-di, ob-la-da or why you almost exclusively like John Lennon’s deep, very outstanding psychedelic songs, although I prefer them too (of course not only John Lennon wrote these type of songs) But they’re not all better because of that uniqueness and that particular aesthetic. Ob-la-di isn’t super unique or emotional, the song is very catchy though. But not every song needs to have this peculiar and deep meaning/sound to be good IMO, it’s a good song. What I like most about it is the lyrics, it has that very down to earth and descriptive Paul McCartney style to it, like penny lane. It’s like he’s telling a story. It’s also that variation in personality, music telling and story telling, almost like yin yang which ensures almost everyone can enjoy the Beatles, and the songs are so brilliant and different from each other. That’s why I love the Beatles.

I wouldn’t rank them the same way, but I love hearing what young folks think about the Beatles. The Beatles are forever.

Actually, when the Beatles covered songs like "Roll Over Beethoven" they were reintroducing American kids to music they had STOPPED listening to. That stuff was no longer being played on the radio. The pop charts weren't Chuck Berry and Little Richard. They were Fabian and Frankie Avalon. That's WHY the early Beatles sounds so good. They were a throwback to REAL Rock n' Roll, but with very unusual chords and very tight harmonies. I heard the Beatles' Roll Over Beethoven and Rock and Roll Music long before I'd even HEARD of Chuck Berry.

"It's hard to meme The Beatles" THIS IS A SERIOUS MESSAGE TO EVERYBODY WATCHING MY... UPDATE RIGHT NOW. PEACE AND LOVE, *PEACE AND LOVE*

'OB-la-di-ob-la-di is just filler' *stabbing sounds* "OB-la-di-OB-la-di life goes on brah"

Personally a big fan of both early and late beatles

Excuse me if i fell is a brilliant song AND OB-LA-DI OB-LA-DA ;(

I glad that someone your age discovered the Beatles. In 1964, I was 11 & they were totally different from anything else we had heard. That is what made them popular. The fact that our parents didn't like them made them that much better. Each album grew more complex as they honed their craft. You have the advantage of listening to their entire catalog all at once and making comparisons. We waited in anticipation for each new song and album to be released to discover how much they had grown since the last release. There will never be another band that comes close to their success. EVERY band since them has copied them in some way. P.S. I like your T-shirt.

I really enjoyed this Billy, thanks. I'm obsessed with them right now. They began by perfecting the 2 minute pop single and ended setting the standard for every band to follow.

They turned crazy after Bob Dylan introduced them to tea.

The Beatles were writing Psychedelic music long before Sgt Peppers.

MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR IS THE BEST BEATLES ALBUM AND YOU CANT CHANGE MY MIND

1 Abbey Road 2 Revolver 3 The White Album 4 Magical Mystery Tour 5 Rubber Soul 6 Sgt Peppers 7 Hard Day’s Night 8 Let It Be 9 Help 10 Please Please Me 11 Beatles For Sale 12 With the Beatles 13 Yellow Submarine

I was cool with this video until he called obli di obli da "filler"

Baby Your a Rich Man is probably the most underrated Beatles tune, then Hey Bulldog

The beatles: From best to best.

Nice work. I watched your Pink Floyd video which was well done. I was born in 1964 and grew up with this music in the background and then in the foreground. As an eight year old I played the hell out of magical mystery tour. One of my older sisters had bought it and it came with a big book And a couple of times a year they would show the movie on Saturday afternoon on one of the UHF channels out of Buffalo, NY. I still love it…

Cheers for giving Magical Mystery Tour some praise, definitely the most underrated beatles album

You can't put revolver at 4. It is just wrong

I respect your opinion, but I do very much disagree on your take of the early Beatles. They were always fantastic. The early Beatles made some fucking BANGERS bro.

“The Long and Winding Road is okay” Okay?!

“Nothing speical On with the Beatles” ... well.. I’m out

"Twist and Shout" from Please Please Me was a cover of a 3/10 song that turned it into a 9/10 song. Give the original a listen and you'll see that the Beatles were not just "conforming to the style of the era". Even then, they were updating and redefining that style.

All My Loving is the most beautiful and dynamic ballad ever written

This is actually a pretty good list, I'd swap Please Please Me with Beatles for Sale and Revolver with Sgt Peppers but other than that I agree with everything. P.S. All the filler songs you mentioned on The White Album are all amazing songs lmao

Man only likes depressing late Beatles songs. I'm kinda disappointed

Why is he so against a lot of their music about love and happiness?

this video gives some really good insight onto different albums. i've been listening to the beatles for as long as i can remember. i found it really funny that yellow submarine was the lowest rank as that was my favorite when i was younger, along with magical mystery tour. a lot of what was said was based off of you not really liking their earlier stuff, which i thought was interesting because i love most of their earlier songs (maybe it's the teenage girl in me lol). i think the beatles have always had a unique sound, despite their earlier songs being sappy and lovey written. nowadays, my favorite album is definitely rubber soul. i also really love their white album. i grew up listening to sgt. pepper because of my mom, and now i have all of her sgt. pepper vinyls. the beatles undeniably made their mark on my life and the world. thanks for the cool video!

putting revolver above rubber soul is just a really big war crime

You know there’s something wrong with you when you say “obla di obla da” is a filler song.

Ummm... I don't think Lucy in the sky with diamonds was the first psycheldic song

Billy. You make valid points. The thing to remember is that if there were no Early Beatles mushy -I love you girl you love me thank you girl- songs there would be nothing else to come. They did what they had to do to get recorded. Anyway.. I’m new to your videos and I’m really enjoying them.

On metal, yeah, Helter Skelter and Foxy Lady by Jimi Hendrix, and the name for the genre came in the same year -- 1968 -- from Born to Be Wild, which actually isn't quite a metal song. Ergo Sabbath and Zeppelin...

3:31 The debut album 'Please Please Me' (1963) ROCKS! Give it another listen, preferably the mono mix. Their next few albums are like boyband albums, but their debut is more like the rawness from Hamburg.

Here comes the sun “Another happy Beatles song”... Come on! That’s a complete masterpiece. The composition, melody and the orchestral arrangements are just beautiful. We have to stop being prejudiced with the happy songs

This man did not just say that Beatles For Sales and HELP! are bad albums

Birthday is one of my favorites it’s kinda what got me into the beatles

Tad late to the party. I think shes leaving home is one of the greatest songs on the album. Following and understanding the two story lines, from the family suppressing their daughter living her life to her breaking free is so touching. It truly has to be close to home for hundreds of thousands of people. Using the contrast of John and Pauls singing to tell the story in the chorus from the parents point of view is beautiful. This is before touching on some of the musical and production choices!

The problem with the Beatles albums and songs, is that they're all the best... (except for a few oddballs)

I cried a little bit when he said that Within You Without You was a little too weird for him. That album changed my life. To each their own 🤷🏽‍♂️

Can’t believe he doesn’t think All My Loving doesn’t stand out on With the Beatles. Early Beatles are so underrated

Why do people hate Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da so much?

Revolution 9 is a absolute hell scape of a song and haunts me to this day.

he did say that here comes the sun was another happy Beatles song

1:07 Finally somebody who understands

What do you mean: The Long and Winding Road is "pretty good?" Blasphemy!

Bro, I used to not love the early/mid 60s stuff too - BUT if you listen properly they are really great due to the way they are composed and so, so tight and catchy. Much better than most of the other stuff around at the time - some are actually timeless IMO. Great vid.

Good list man! In my personal opinion, every tier list should go like this, from worst to best Yellow submarine 1963-1964 1965-1970 Top 3 are Sgt pepper's , white album, and abbey road Atleast that's what i've most seen followed throughout lists, and I think it's quite frankly the general consensis on how good each beatles album is. Anyways, great video!
