We're #1!
Here, There, and Everywhere (17) I can play it on guitar, I've skated to it, and I danced with many people at my wedding to it. It's everything.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps (8) It could have easily been my number one. First song I ever played for Will, holding an earbud up to his ear while cradling him in the NICU. I know everyone gets so excited about Eric Clapton's guitar solo in it, but to be honest, the magic is in George's composition, Paul's piano, and how well Ringo services the song with his percussion.

Abbey Road side two medley (3) It is NOT cheating, as The Beatles Channel, WLAV, and almost every station that touches side two plays it to full duration. Most start with You Never Give Me Your Money, some start all the way back to Because, but everyone plays it all the way through until The End. It is a Fab Symphony. A musical journey. Another match with Sirius/XM!

A Day in the Life (6) I feel like I'm copying almost everyone with my top picks, but these are up here for a reason. It starts quietly with a piano intro, tells tales from a newspaper, switches to a guy getting out of bed to grab a bus and fall into a dream, and ends with a symphony and the whole band bashing the same chord on the piano until it dies out, 46 seconds later. EPIC short programs from Michelle Kwan and Jeremy Abbott.

Tomorrow Never Knows (43) If a song like Norweigan Wood wasn't enough of a clue that the boy band was going in a new direction, TNK really hammers that home.
Sirius/XM did their annual Top 100 countdown over Memorial Day Weekend. A number in parenthesis is that song's position on that countdown. It's not that I don't like Hey Jude (1), I just don't like it as much as the rest of y'all.
Happy Christmas everyone, play these instead of "Christmas Time is Here Again."
