The Beatles’ famous and popular songs

Introducing songs by the legendary rock band, The Beatles.

When it comes to The Beatles, they’re the very definition of a rock band—an extraordinarily popular group that stands as one of the greatest in music history.

They made their record debut in 1962 and are said to have effectively disbanded in 1970, yet their popularity shows no signs of fading.

In their early years, they enjoyed idol-like fame, but they gradually elevated their musical standing and came to be highly esteemed by fellow musicians as well.

When they first visited Japan in 1966, they performed live at the Budokan.

It’s said that their show was the first rock concert ever held at that venue.

Now, please enjoy a playlist of The Beatles’ songs—timeless classics by what is no exaggeration to call the most famous rock band in the world.

This is one of John’s masterpieces from his psychedelic period, where techniques like tape reversal were used to full effect.

John’s vocals were actually sped up on tape, while Ringo’s drumming felt so fast that they deliberately slowed the tape speed down.

The result is an atmosphere that feels like another world.

This is the B-side track to the eighth original single, “I Feel Fine,” released in November 1964.

In the Beatles’ film Help!, parts of the song are used in the form of a recorded playback.

Paul McCartney revisited the song with an even slower arrangement on his 1991 Unplugged album, Unplugged (The Official Bootleg).

Many of John’s songs on the White Album leave you unsure whether he’s motivated or not, and this one is a prime example.

Yoko Ono, who happened to be at the studio, handled some of the vocals, making it the first track to feature a voice from outside the band.

Happy Birthday To YouThe Beatles

“Happy Birthday To You” is a track from The Beatles Collection, released in 1978.

The Beatles are a four-piece rock band from Liverpool, England.

They formed the Quarrymen in 1957, renamed themselves The Beatles in 1960, made their record debut in 1962, and disbanded in 1970.

The Beatles are singing Happy Birthday.

I didn’t know footage like this existed.

If you play this song, it might end up being a birthday where the parents are even more excited than the kids—like, “It’s the Beatles!”

The Beatles—legends who need no introduction.

They’re the icons of rock and pop music who produced countless timeless songs and classic albums that are still sung today.

In Japan, they were also pioneers, being the first to use the Budokan for a concert and opening doors for later artists.

You could say every one of their albums is a masterpiece.

My recommendation is Abbey Road.

The crosswalk photo on the cover is so famous that fans still flock to the location to take commemorative photos.

As for the music, the final three tracks—Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, and The End—flow together with such beauty that even now, just listening to them can bring me to tears.
