I'm a little disappointed that Octopus's Garden and Yellow Submarine are on the list but In My Life, Something, and Let It Be/Yesterday aren't.

These almost always appear on many top Beatles songs lists but are absent from yours. Any reasoning behind that? Just don't like those particulars? Curious is all because it is not a very common thing to slide against the grain, you know?

And as far as them being the greatest band of all time, you're absolutely right. But the reason listed, to me, feel a bit off. The Beatles are the greatest band to ever come along not because of their technical proficiency (just the opposite in fact! None of them could read music) but the fact that they could take something so simple and make it appeal to the masses. They spoke for an entire generation. Nothing like them had ever come around. George Martin and the Beatles were absolute trail blazers (pun intended?) in the field of audio engineering (first intentional use of distortion, making 8 and 16 track recorders off of 4 tracks, their composition, use of effects, and perfection of reverse tracking using a pencil are all their claim to fame)

It was the fact that the Beatles were in a right place, right time situation. Forever changing modern music, they are most likely the archetype for countless bands. There will never be another band like them.
