Product Description
Which Song is the Best and Why? Read it and see!
Organized by rank, from 1 to 100, this illustrated celebration of the best songs by the boys who revolutionized rock-and-roll includes expert commentary, historical context, interview material, and lots of great sidebars (including "best" lists from some of today's pop music powerhouses.) Like all "best of" lists, the book's opinionated stance generates animated discussion.
Here, There, and Everywhere is profusely illustrated with photos of the band at work and play, and all of the unforgettable album-cover art. Appendices include a complete song list, discography, videography, and bibliography, making it a one-stop source of Beatles facts and figures.

 100 Best Beatles Songs August 19, 2010
William Haas (New Jersey)
This book certainly gives the reader a comprehensive view of the authors' choices of the Beatles best music. Like every ratings list there are arguments to be made for placement and personal favorites that are missing. One thing that struck me in this book were the number and quality of songs by George Harrison. From Revolver to Let It Be many of the strongest songs are by George. The other point of interest in this book are the recording information, who played what instruments, how particular sounds were made and the inventiveness of George Martin and the boys. You can see the disintegration of the band by what was happening in the studio where many of the last recordings were by individual members as all were missing at one time or another. I would recommend this book to those interested in the history of the Beatles and the 60's.
