Some of my favorite artists were influenced by the Beatles, though I just can't seem to get into them. The only song I like by them is Yesterday. Can you please tell me some of their best songs?

The Beatles are the greatest! If you want some songs, first you should decide where you wanna start from them? (Beatlemania Days, Help/Revolver Days, Hello Goodbye Pre Hippie, Let it Be/The End)



Beatlemania has good catchy songs like "I wanna hold your hand" and "She loves you". Theres also "Cant buy me love" and "Hard Days Night", the latter of which was a really succesful movie.



Now on to the 65/66 days. You know "Yesterday" so if you like Paul, I reccomend "Eleanor Rigby" which is sad and beautiful at the same time. Of course there's "Help!" which was also a good movie. Check out the album "Rubber Soul" to.



Pre-Hippie days were kinda like "Magical Mystery Tour" (again another movie) with albums like "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Band" which is considered one of the best albums ever made! One famous song? "I am the Walrus"!



And then we have the end, as I call it. Some of the best songs like "Hey Jude" and "Let It be" came out. Also, if you like murderous songs about hammers, "Maxwell Silverhammer" is for you!



Some other songs not mentioned above:



"Girl"- A beautiful song by John. So sweet.

"Eight Days A Week"- Catchy as heck.

"All My Loving"- I heard it in "Hard Days Night" and I was amazed.

"If I Fell"- Sweet little ditty.

"I wanna be your man"- Kinda more "edgy" in a way!

"Lucy in the Sky W/ Diamonds"- Trippy. =p

"Yellow Submarine"- Yeah finally they let Ringo sing!

"Ticket to Ride"- From "Help!", it's sweet and lovable.

"Twist N' Shout"- Early on in the band.

"Day Tripper"- I love the guitar riff in it!



If you wanna get a more modernized take on some of these songs, go see "Across The Universe". But always listen to the classics!

If you like Yesterday then I think you will like:



In My Life

Nowhere Man

Ticket to Ride

And I Love Her

Let It Be

Hey Jude

Some of my favorites are:



Strawberry Fields Forever

Hello Goodbye

Blackbird

Yer Blues

EDIT: I also recommend listening to the entire White Album. It's very diverse, I'm sure you could find something you like.

Oh, come on dude!



Get the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (1967) album! In my opinion, that's their masterpiece.



"Revolver" (1966) probably places next....



Or, if you try out their early stuff, "A Hard Day's Night" (1964) or "Help!" (1965) are the best of that bunch.



I tend to like their later albums more than their early ones, although the two sides of their career are very different.



I myself am a keyboard player, and I notice that guitarists tend to like the "White Album" (1968), in case you're a guitarist.



Just try everything, duder.



See what you like.

I recommend listening to The White Album, after listening to that album I was hooked. Some song you may like from it are Blackbird, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and Dear Prudence but those aren't my favorites those are just the slower ones that are similar to Yesterday but yeah definitely listen to the whole thing if you get a chance.
