As one of the most well known bands in history, it's no surprise The Beatles wrote numerous top billboard hits during their short but impactful career. In less than 10 years, the wonderful band from Liverpool produced 13 albums, recording around 200 songs. Alongside their music, The Beatles proved to be influential in culture, fashion, and the music world entirely, paving the way of rock & roll for years to come.
My childhood was filled with love and exposure to The Beatles, considering my dad and mom absolutely love old rock & roll and wouldn't hear of their child being any other way, and today, they are without a doubt my favorite band as well. Many of The Beatles songs are easy to recognize and almost everyone can sing along to "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "Let It Be" but there are so many other songs that aren't given the credit for how great they actually are. I'm partial to every on of their songs and personally believe everyone should take the time to listen to all of The Beatles' songs, but for the sake of this article, I'll just list a few of the songs I think are absolutely genius, yet known by few people.
