Just in the order but that's personal preference. I always thought And Your Bird Can Sing is an underrated tune. And Yesterday is a Beatles song in name only. It's all McCartney

Mostly an excellent selection. I might replace Glass Onion with She Said She Said, Ticket to Ride with Tomorrow Never Knows. And like theGoodMan said And Your Bird Can Sing would be a very good inclusion.

Nice selection. The only song there I really don't like is 'Glass Onion'.

I couldn’t disagree more with your top 20 Beatles songs. It’s bad and you should feel bad.

Eleanor Rigby, The Long And Winding Road and Yesterday wouldn't get anywhere near my top 20 tracks, but you put Glass Onion, so you get a pass..  |

Any list of 20 Beatles songs is a good list.
A few you don't have that I would definitely have are Tomorrow Never Knows, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and I Feel Fine.

Blackbird, Drive My Car, Taxman, Fool on the Hill, Dear Prudence, and about 100 more should be somewhere on that list.

I agree with your top two. My number 3 would be I Am the Walrus, and my 4 would be While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
For 5-20 you could come up with hundreds of combinations and not go wrong.

As an aside, we all know the connection between Charlie Manson and the White Album. Some odd things (coincidence) like Piggies, Helter Skelter, Sexy Sadie. And you can read anything in Revolution #9. But I always wanted to know how While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Back in the USSR, Dear Prudence, The Fool on the Hill and much of the rest worked into his shit

I should say, I do like 2 aspects of 'Glass Onion' ... those magnetic slides alone, (added to that killer bassline), make it a classic; just not a favourite of mine. Personally speaking, can't stand the "i told you so", self-refrerential lyrics though, as I feel they reek of lazy self-indulgence.

The lack of Let it Be is not something I agree with.

It's a fine list, though I would replace Ticket To Ride and Paperback Writer with If I Fell and Across The Universe.
