The British mega-rock group, The Beatles, has a plethora of hits that span nearly the entire decade of the 60s. At the news outlet The Ringer, there was much debate over which song is truly their greatest hit. Some staffers believe the popularity of “Hey Jude!” would be crowned the king. However, there were some employees who dove a little deeper into the Beatles discography, choosing songs like “A Day in the Life,” “Strawberry Fields Forever,” and even “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”
Key Takeaways:
- Hey Jude is often considered the crowd favorite Beatle’s song despite its simple structure and traditional melody.
- A Day in the Life was one of the more complex Beatle’s recording efforts. The song demonstrates the two poles of the band in Lennon and McCartney.
- Strawberry Fields Forever is representative of a period of the Beatle’s music which is nostalgic, haunting, and wistful. The music video was also cutting edge for the time.
“But this song represents the moment that everything the Beatles did best came together in rich, glorious harmony—studio innovation, pop sensibility, and avant-garde ambition all struck at once and left to ring out like the most stirring chord imaginable.”
