Greatest. Band. Ever?

The Beatles have always been legends. However, these days, they are even more visible. EMI, their long time record label, just spent the last 4 years remastering their music to sound even crisper than ever. This week also marked the release of "The Beatles: Rock Band." Rock Band itself is rousing success, but combined with perhaps the most famous band of the century, it is a product that is attractive to a wide swath of the population.

There are two things that I find remarkable about The Beatles.
1) All four members of the band sang lead vocals at one point or another. Something you never see today, and probably will never see again.
2) Every month I find myself saying "Wait, that was originally a Beatles song?!"

Currently I have 32 Beatles songs on my iPod. But that number is growing monthly. Here are the top eleven.

11) With a Little Help from my Friends - Released: September 1967 - Album: St. Pepper
Lead Vocals: Ringo - Written by: Lennon/McCartney
Ringo generally sang one song on each album that Lennon and McCartney would write for him. They made sure to use a limited range so that he could hit all the notes. When you listen to the lyrics, they are a little condescending.

10) Ticket to Ride - Released: April 1965 - Album: Help!
Lead Vocals: Lennon - Written by: Lennon
Noel Gallagher's Favorite Song

9) Hey Jude - Released: August 1968 - Album: Released as a Single
Lead Vocals: McCartney - Written by: McCartney
McCartney wrote the song for John Lennon's son after Yoko broke up their family. Lennon thought the song was for him

8) Here Comes the Sun - Released: September 1969 - Album: Abbey Road
Lead Vocals: Harrison - Written by: Harrison
Harrison's version of an emo song written after a shitty year where he even temporarily quit the band

7) Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - Released: June 1967 - Album: Sgt. Pepper
Lead Vocals: Lennon - Written by: Lennon/McCartney
Lennon was not pleased with the recording of this song, but claimed that he was on LSD at the time so he was rather submissive in the studio. Later denied the song was actually about LSD crafting an elaborate story about a drawing his son made. In 2004, McCartney finally admitted the song was about LSD

6) Help! - Released July 1965 - Album: Help!
Lead Vocals: Lennon - Written by: Lennon
Lennon wrote this song to express the stress that developed due to The Beatles meteoric rise to fame

5) Hello Goodbye - Released: November 1967 Album: Magical Mystery Tour

In addition to singing, McCartney also played Bass, Piano, Bongos, and Congas on the track
