The Beatles have the widest range of world class songs of any band, ever. Eleanor Rigby to Back in the USSR. Blackbird to Revolution, Penny Lane to Help......every album had several hits, and more number ones than anyone. And there would have been more number ones, but their own songs got in the way. In the late '64 to '65 era, they often had four or five in the top ten. Never been done, never will be again.

The Beatles did have a "sound". They evolved greatly over the seven years of their recorded career and along the way employed new sounds and novel recording techniques, but all along, they always sounded like The Beatles. The best way to know this is to listen to other acts and you'll notice if they"sound" like the Beatles or not. Be it Cheap Trick or Oasis or even late Tears for Fears, three bands that have absolutely nothing to do with each other, you know when they're trying to sound like the Beatles. It's really easy to pick up. That's what tells you whether those guys had a sound or not.

Yesterday came out in 1965. My dad grew up listening to the Beatles and one of my earliest memories of the band was listening to their songs with him when I was around 8 or 9. I remember my dad saying “just listen to these guys. Every one of their songs has a different sound to them.” Anyway, another Beatles song I’d highly recommend is “Can’t Buy Me Love”.

One of the greatest love songs ever written is “Something” by Beatle George Harrison. He also wrote “While my Guitar Gently Weeps” with Guitar solo by Eric Clapton. Two awesome Beatles songs not written by Lennon and McCartney. Great reaction!

While My Guitar Gently Weeps is one of my favorites, but there are so many. Lennon and McCartney are credited with over 200 as a team and there’s more than that written by the individuals of the group. While My Guitar... was by George Harrison.

The Beatles will always be my favorite band/group/artist - I grew up with them and watched them mature as I did. Their artistry was unparalleled - and all these decades later, that's still the truth. Yesterday - a ballad covered by half the world back then - was just an example of how McCartney could just sit down at a piano and crank out a piece of genius.

I recommend Strawberry Fields Forever. The Beatles pioneered many production techniques and the recorded version of Strawberry Fields Forever is an amalgamation two different versions of the same song after Paul and John couldn't agree how to play it.

In recent interviews an older Paul McCartney says that the lyrics are about his mom, who died of cancer when he was 14. Listen to the words again with that in mind.

A good way to "learn" the Beatles - because there are soooooo many songs as you will see in this comment section - might be to get a list of Beatle songs in chronological order and sample a few from each year. This way you can experience them the way we did "back in the day" ... you will see how they musically progressed over the years. I, of course, have a soft spot for the early years because I grew up with them - but I love them all! Their music is important because without them a lot of the music of today would not be! Anyway, just a suggestion. Final note - can you please turn up volume on both music and your talking - mostly your talking ... you speak so quietly! Thank you.

I know every album backward & forwards for my mood, but there are times when I play them chrono and love the progression.

The Beatles pretty much created multiple genres, while also exploring many many others. The Beatles had a mountain of pop rock to support exploring all musical styles, even eastern music. They are very much worth a deep dive into every song the people advise. They’re all the foundation of rock.

I prefer their later records. They have a really wide variety of music. If you want something more upbeat and happy then you should react to Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, With a Little Help from My Friends, and Don’t Let Me Down (live at their rooftop concert)

In music, there’s everything before the Beatles and everything after. Stevie Wonder Yesterday is likely one of the top three songs in air play and other artists covering. It may even be the single most covered song.

A lot of Beatles songs had a symphonic sound. Amazing song writers!!!

Anything from Sgt Pepper", "Abbey Road" or "Magical Mystery Tour" - "A Day In The Life" is a must!

The Beatles are all over the place musically. My favorite songs of theirs are Because, Something, and While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

The Beatles evolved with every album they did. You really deserve to hear their entire anthology in chronological order to experience the evolution. You'll understand why they are considered to be the most influential band in music. Things they did pioneered the way for everyone that came after them. Even after they broke up they continued to find success. John Lennon's solo career while cut short by his murder left a lasting impression on music, and Paul McCartney went on to form the band Wings with his wife and find even more success. We'll probably never see a band like them again.

The great thing about growing up with the Beatles was that you never knew what their next record - single or LP - would sound like. You just knew it would be different, you knew it would be great, and you knew it would be as only the Beatles could do it. Watching reaction videos takes me back . . .

Yesterday is the most covered song in history. It is also one of the top sellers. And its simple beauty is astonishing.

Thanks for reviewing this song. This is a very special singular point in musical history. Before it, Beatles songs were mostly about teenage love and used conventional musical instruments and melodies. “Yesterday” was their first song with deeper complexities, melodies, instruments, and lyrics IMHO. It was the beginning of their musical maturation process. World music was changed forever.

"Are most of the Beatles songs like this?" One soon finds out that this question fades into the vast sea of variation that The Beatles sailed their ship upon.

I feel like nearly every Beatles song is different from the others. Music was changing rapidly during their hayday. That's why you have been confused by songs you have reacted to by this period. They later on inspired genres that had time periods that reigned for later generations. You could compare that to other artist who have albums comprised of songs that all pretty much sound the same. That has been pretty common of artist. Even before records and radios, composers and singers lean towards a sound and style. I would love for you to react to groups inspired by, created because of, or allowed to be funded due to The Beatles popularity. My favorite of those groups is The Monkees. I think the Shrek movies had covers of their songs.

I agree with @telynn. The Beatles were the ones who changed music and culture and even the world. I heard an interview with Ringo and he said that they never wanted to do the same song/kind of song twice.

Rocky Raccoon. Sooooo different! I love I Dig a Pony. Honestly almost every song is stellar.

"Yesterday" came out in 1965. It was a huge hit at the time, partly because it was written by and features Paul (McCartney), who was the favorite Beatle of teenage girls, being the prettiest one. Also, it's a simpler melody than other of their songs and so was easier for teen guitarists to learn. "She's Leaving Home" from their 1967 album, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," is a very affecting song which many overlook.

If you think 'Yesterday' was a simple song to play correctly, then you're just not playing it right. You could busk a simplified version with basic chords in F which is what a lot of players assumed, but Paul detuned his guitar a whole tone and played it in G, and emphasised bass note progressions that run through the chords. It's the subtleties that make this song an all time classic.

I think what made the Beatles in mine and other peoples eyes “the best and most influential band ever” was the fact that they didn’t stick to one thing. They pushed the boundaries of music and made things that have never been made before. Their music is special, not just with the most well known songs, but their whole discography. The lyrics and the music, the meaning behind it all. It’s all just special and something I don’t think will ever be repeated.

Tomorrow Never Knows. Within You Without You. And a must !! - “It’s All Too Much “!!!!!✌️

Good choice! I definitely recommend all the 2009 Remaster Versions of their songs for best sound quality. The Beatles indeed have lots of varying styles. Here are a few of each type and what year they were released: Upbeat: Please Please Me [1962, Lennon/McCartney] Taxman [1966, Harrison] Get Back [1969, McCartney] Mellow: Till There Was You [1963, Cover by McCartney] In My Life [1965, Lennon] Something [1970, Harrison] Intense/Heavy: Ticket To Ride [1965, Lennon] While My Guitar Gently Weeps [1968, Harrison] Oh Darling [1970, McCartney] Psychedelic: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds [1967, Lennon] Penny Lane [1967, McCartney] Only A Northern Song [1968, Harrison] Indian: Love You To [1966, Harrison] Within You Without You [1967, Harrison]

Beatles songs like "Yesterday" sound very simple but in fact are super sophisticated. The perfect structuring is what makes them sound so simple.

The Beatles had evolved as band from being more pop music at first, and as time and albums went by evolving into a psychedelic scene directly because of the influence of hardcore drugs. If you listen to the albums song by song, in album order, you can see their evolution. They were geniuses in all stages and came out with a lot of albums.

The Beatles wrote over 200 songs! There is literally a song for everyone. I once looked through the Beatles songbook and tried to choose my most favorite songs that I couldn’t live without; there were 68 of them.

Yesterday is played some where in the world every 20 seconds, and this song is close to 50 years old.

This is considered one of the greatest songs of all time.

The Beatles offer mindboggling variety. Psychedelica, orchestral, folk, experimental, soft ballads, perfectly crafted mid 60s pop songs, anthems, blues, country rock, hard rock, 1920s-style dance hall numbers, Motown rave ups....dozens of number one songs. At one point, the top five songs on the Top 40 chart were Beatles songs.

This is Paul. One the Beatles most popular songs. It was totally different as it was so soft. A bit hit that won over the older generation as well as their young fans. The fans actually stopped screaming to listen to this one when they performed in concert. Just a beautiful song.

The most covered song in history. More than 1600 covers. On the other end... "I'm Down"... A classic rock screamer. The variety of their music is truly un believable.

As happy as I am that people are discovering the Beatles, it also makes me feel a bit sad that people are having to discover the Beatles at such a late age.

The Beatles are so varied and cover so many genres it is why they continued to be so popular.

Paul named the song scrambled eggs for good while. He woke up with this tune in his head and thought it probably might a tune belonging to someone else originally, just waking and all and having breakfast. Soon he realised it’s his, he sat down in front of the others in the studio and smashed it himself.

This is one of THE Beatles songs! It is also one of the most recorded songs ever!

There is a reason why The Bealtes are so revered and universally loved, because they practically invented so many genres of music that were then cultivated by bands and artists that followed. Every musician from the last 50 years has, at some point, been influenced by The Beatles. Hard Rock, Psychedelia, Folk, Singer-Songwriters, Pop, Blues, Garage Rock, Soul, its all there! I agree with all the comments about listening to them chronologically to appreciate how far they came in such a short space of time, but still to this day, I am amazed that in the space of 8 years they produced such an incredible back catalogue of music, that was so forward thinking and groundbreaking, which changed music forever and ingrained itself so deeply into musical culture. Their entire career was less than a decade, some bands can only produce 2 albums in that time! Never underestimate how influential this band was and continues to be!

This is the most covered song ever of all time. The handwritten lyrics are in the British Library in London. It's been covered more than 2000 times!!! The Beatles are the most influential band ever. Because they did every kind of music, and beautifully. Even, John Lennon, experimented with rap in the 1970s ("Give Peace a Chance") before it was a thing. Even roaring twenties ("Honey Pie") and Metal ("Everybody's Got Something to Hide, 'Cept for Me and My Monkey"). And everything in between. Rolling Stone magazine still ranks "Sgt. Pepper as the most influential album of all time, with good reason. None like them, before or since.

The Beatles' early recordings are mostly up-tempo pop songs, but they'd always had a really diverse live set, and they moved on to basically conquer every genre and style out there. Ballads, psychadelia, country, classical, ska, Indian ragas, blues, hard rock... the Beatles could do it all. "Yesterday" came out in 1965, and it is one of their best.

Dude! The Beatles set the standard for virtually every rock or pop group that followed. They influenced pretty much everyone. Each album develops their sound a bit further, and their sound grew and evolved through the 60s.

Norwegian wood is another beautiful track.

"Let It Be"......should definitely be your next Beatles song!........(& then "Eleanor Rigby")!

"Michele" converted my almost 50-year-old MOTHER to loving The Beatles back in the 1960's! She liked the French words and the harmony.

The Beatles are the real deal amazing songs everything is well written beautiful they will get you up dancing and they’ll get you thinking

Absolutely, one of their best songs..........but they had many, many GREAT songs. You can't put their sound in a box as it changed with time and how it evolved. The Beatles come out on top EVERY TIME there is a voting poll on who is/was the best rock-n-roll band of all time. E V E R Y T I M E!

Every Beatles song is different. They are ASTONISHING.

Yesterday is another of McCartney's many melodic masterpieces, along with Eleanor Rigby, She's Leaving Home, I Will, The Long and Winding Road, Fool on the Hill, Hey Jude, For No One, Let It Be, and Blackbird. Incredible talent!
