"Come Together" and "Hey Jude" are household names in music. Most people in the world could name John Lennon if shown a picture of his face. The Beatles revolutionized music, culture, and brought the British Invasion to America.
For a lot of us with parents who grew up in the '60s and '70s, the Beatles were a staple of our childhoods. How many mornings did we spend making pancakes and dancing around the kitchen to "Rubber Soul?" The songs of childhood stick in the mind, but there are sure to be a forgotten few. With over 300 songs on record, it's impossible to know every single one by heart. Here's a compiled superlative list of some lesser-known Beatles jams, for all types of days and moods.
"Norwegian Wood "—Most Likely to Be Chilling Out
A fun one to just hang out to and relax with friends. Weird lyrics, though.
"I Will"—Most Likely to Make You Cry
One of the most gorgeous songs to date. Paul sings this raw beauty.
"Benefit of Mr. Kite"—Weirdest
Like "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," this is a weird song. Weird content, strange off-beat, and it makes one wonder just what types of dreams these four geniuses had.
"You've Got To Hide Your Love Away"—Best Foot-Tapper
John hits notes in this tune that no other human being can get to. Good tambourine, also.
"The Night Before"—Most Fun to Sing
The most upbeat song on this list: it's a fun one. I recommend singing this one in the car.
"Think For Yourself"—Best Song for a Sassy Attitude
This is one of the Beatles' rare non-love songs; rather, it's sassy, definitive, and independent.
"Something"—Most Likely To Make You Want A Boyfriend
I wonder who this one was written for? Jealous of her...
"Fool on the Hill"—Loneliest
This one will make you sad for the fool. It will also make you appreciate what you have.
There are hundreds of fantastic Beatles songs out there. Expand your horizons and try a new one; I promise that John, Paul, George, and Ringo will not disappoint.
