Here, There and Everywhere - The 100 Best Beatles Songs

[loopydate]

I was at a Virgin Megastore last week and found this fantastic book titled Here, There and Everywhere - The 100 Best Beatles Songs by Stephen J. Spignesi and Michael Lewis. I know I'm not the only Fab Four mark on these boards, so I thought I'd post their list to see if it might spark some interesting discussion. The book inspired me to work on my own list, which I'll post when (if) I ever get around to finishing it.

The back of the book has an index of all 206 original Beatles recordings, and looking at it, I realized I wasn't as close to having the whole collection as I thought I was. I have all twelve of the original Beatles albums plus the red and blue albums, but there's a ton of stuff that I still don't have. So, now I'm trying to find friends of mine who have the Anthology or the soundtrack to Yellow Submarine (I already "borrowed" Past Masters from my parents last time I was at their place).

I'm still probably about 15-20 songs shy. Stupid prolific geniuses...

So, let the debate begin!
