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.

I WANNA HOLD YOUR HANDThe Beatles

I WANNA HOLD YOUR HANDThe Beatles

A straightforward Beatles track that few people these days don’t know.

The simple wish of “I want to hold your hand” is faintly wistful and really hits home.

By the way, the four members of the Beatles were major romantics, so it might be better not to take them themselves as models too seriously.

The early Beatles songs are simple and pure in both melody and lyrics, which is really nice.

I feel like I can understand why they appealed to so many people.

The title “I Want to Hold Your Hand” gives off a pure and sincere vibe.

It feels like sentiments like that have faded in today’s world, which is a bit unfortunate.

A John song included on the White Album.

Placed alongside Paul’s “I Will” in the tracklist, it clearly highlights the contrast between the two personalities.

The phrase “Ocean Child” in the lyrics is a direct English rendering of “Yoko,” referring to Yoko Ono, with whom he had just started a relationship.

Come TogetherThe Beatles

It’s a straightforward rock song, memorable for John’s whispered “shoo!” in the intro.

The lyrics are pure wordplay and essentially meaningless, but they rhyme cleverly and carry John’s characteristic cool.

It later led to a lawsuit because it sounded so much like a Chuck Berry song that people suspected plagiarism, but there’s an unusual story that it was settled when John covered a Chuck Berry song on his solo album.

SomethingThe Beatles

It’s a beautiful ballad George composed for his wife, Pattie Boyd.

Frank Sinatra also covered it, and there’s an anecdote that he mistakenly called it “my favorite Lennon–McCartney song.” No one back then expected George, the Beatles’ dark horse, to release a ballad so beautiful it could rival Paul’s.

The Inner LightThe Beatles

This is the B-side track to the 17th original single, “Lady Madonna,” released in March 1968.

George handles the lead vocal, and only on the final phrase do John Lennon and Paul McCartney add backing vocals.

None of the Beatles members took part in the performance, but both John and Paul praised the song highly.
