All you need is love…and Top 5 rankings.
We have made a Top 5 list of many songs over the course of this show and it is bittersweet that this episode will be our last music ranking. That is why we decided to go out with a bang and bring back Beatlemania for this occasion! The Beatles literally changed the game and the way we listen to music today. Who knew that the music industry would have transformed so much from 4 Lads from Liverpool but this influential band continues to inspire artists all around the world. So join Tuong La with the rest of the members of the Fab Four Katie Pagnucco (Learn Real Good), Vinny Francois (Improv College & Learn Real Good, Untapped Libraries), and Howard Mitnick (Gateway Music) as they rock out in their moptop hairdos and rank Top 5 Beatles Songs.

Ground Rules
- The song has to be from The Beatles (duh!)
- If there were multiple recordings for the song, it all counts as one nomination.
- We attempted to make some arbitrary rules, as you will hear on this podcast such as “Let’s get one George song in here, One paul…etc.”, to attempt to find a way to make a Top 5 for this juicy topic. There are so many good Beatles songs and if this same group of people did this podcast another time it’s very probable we’d come up with a different list.
- We also considered factors such as “Did all Beatles play in this particular song or is this mostly featuring one member + a guest”.
- We also are considering factors such as how popular the song was and how much it pushed boundaries musically
