1. All I’ve Gotta Do - Early, soulful Lennon ballad. Great harmonies. Shows the band’s early mastery of R&B.

2. Any Time At All - Lead-off rocker from Hard Day’s Night. Gives a sense of the driving, guitar-driven band they were live. Lennon shredding the vocals.

3. Things We Said Today - McCartney already flexing those harmony muscles. Swerves into more of a rocker in the middle eight and then back to a ballad. The kind of song that would have been a hit for a lesser band, but by this point the Beatles were cranking out hits so fast it got overlooked.

4. For No One - One of McCartney’s most beautiful melodies, right up there with mega-famous songs like Yesterday, Eleanor Rigby, and Maybe I’m Amazed.

5. Good Morning, Good Morning - One of the lesser known songs from Sgt Peppers, a gritty rocker at odds with the psychedelia of Sgt Peppers. The stripped-down Anthology version is even better.

6. Hey Bulldog - Fantastic groove built around a fantastic riff. The video is also awesome.

I am going to have to do a few lists here now! Maybe best love songs next? My deep cut hipster? Best folk inspired?
