JamsBIO magazine ranks all 185 Beatles songs- complete with lengthy notes about each one. "A Day in the Life" is #1; "Revolution #9" is last.
I won't rank the songs, but I will rank the Beatles:
1. Paul
2. John
3. George
4. Ringo
Then again, the #3 Beatle would've been #1 in all but a handful of bands in the history of music.
