Probably the most popular and influential pop group of all time, The Beatles had a massive catalog of hits in their ten years as a band. Nearly everything they recorded was a classic, but if we had to pick just five songs to hear on a desert island, these would be the ones. Do they overlap with your favorites?

"A Day In The Life"
The best example of the collaborative powers of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, this track showed how The Beatles were experimenting with new sounds and orchestration to create something never before seen in popular music.

"Yesterday"
This composition came to Paul McCartney in a dream and became the most-covered song of all time. With an unforgettable lilting memory and gentle, philosophical lyrics, it shows the softer side of The Beatles.

"I Want To Hold Your Hand"
One of the band’s early hits, this irresistible hit positioned the Fab Four as teen heartthrobs with a driving, propulsive backbeat and spectacular harmonies.

"Let It Be"
One of the last songs that the band released, “Let It Be” was of McCartney’s finest compositions, with a powerful vocal melody and a message that was perfectly suited to the end of the tumultuous 1960s.

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
Even though Lennon and McCartney took the lion’s share of the songwriting duties, George Harrison managed to contribute this undisputed classic that is gorgeous in both instrumentation and lyrics.
