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.

The Beatles – With a Little Help from My Friends
With a Little Help from My FriendsThe Beatles

A song written by Paul that appears as the second track at the beginning of Sgt.

Pepper’s.

It’s performed in the style of a guest singer appearing at a concert and doing just one number.

The lyrics, which seem to poke fun at Ringo’s poor singing, strike me as amusing.

GirlThe Beatles

The Beatles’ lyrics grow deeper with each album.

This song from their mid-period album Rubber Soul tells its story in a narrative style, letting you sink into a simple, picture-book-like world.

Throughout, it’s achingly poignant and filled with wistful melancholy, yet it’s a highly polished track that never loses its charm no matter how many times you listen.

She’s Leaving HomeThe Beatles
