The Beatles altered the music world forever. They were voted the most “mood-boosting” band by one recent survey, and are considered the most influential band of all time by many. Though the band parted ways way back in 1969, they have never left the pop culture conversation. Their legacy of timeless hits became a never-ending debate about which are the best Beatles songs. And there are many, many to choose from — which means there isn’t one “right” answer.
Of course, the “best” means different things to different people. In a survey of 2,000 adults, “Let It Be” by The Beatles was listed as one of the most relaxing tunes. For the saddest song, the youngest age range selected “Yesterday.” And “The Long and Winding Road” also made the list of saddest songs ever.
Are magic mushrooms the magic behind the band? Psychedelics became popular during the “Flower Power” movement of the 1960s. They even inspired a host of bands including, reportedly, The Beatles. Or, maybe the magic came from transcendental meditation? This form of meditation first gained international recognition when The Beatles traveled to India to learn its secrets.
