Itunes

I was browsing iTunes this week, searching for distractions to avoid whatever I was actually supposed to be doing, when something caught my eye and revealed I had apparently grown old overnight.

It was the music charts, featuring sex. And lots of it.  At 1—“Dirty Talk” (Wynter Gordon),  At 3—“S&M” (Rihanna), At 9—“Tonight (I’m F****n’ You)” (Enrique Iglesias, clearly reluctant to beat around the bush).

There are some top 10 lists that should never be written because they will always start a fight. This is one of them.

With reports that The Beatles are about to release their catalogue on iTunes, here is the list of what are incontestably the top 10 songs by the greatest band that ever played together. It’s so definitive it could be carved in stone and hung on Abbey Road.

It’s not a list of the songs you should download, just a list of their best songs. And no, Yesterday isn’t on it, being possibly the most depressing song ever written. Nor does it include Let It Be which should be correctly titled Let It Be Over. So, in order of brilliance:

10. All Together Now

I’ve kept the left-field choice for number 10. This runs with the credits on Yellow Submarine, the movie, and every song on that film is a potential inclusion on this list.
