The Tool Box's Top 10 (11) Beatles Songs

When the Tool Box was first founded by Tool Bag Productions, it was said that there was no way that we could ever compete with the likes of Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, blah blah blah. Well guess what? When word leaked that we were compiling a top 10 list of the top Beatles songs, we were flooded with e-mails, phone calls, and text messages saying why they should be on the panel. Unfortunately for them, we were only able to pick the top five panelists. Here they are:

Brandon Tessoff - Bassist for Subjective and About Face. His jaw is crooked. Currently the co-founder and visionary for Tool Bag Productions.

Chris Hoelscher - Music elitist with a receding hairline. Played lightweight football in 8th grade. Currently the co-founder and mastermind behind Tool Bag Productions.

Dave Distelrath - Has seen Kid Rock more times than he has fingers to count with. Currently working on his sock tan in Florida.

Joe Serra - Beach Boys fanatic who once played piano at a bar. Despite his name, he is not your ordinary Joe.

Joe Thomas - Sells tickets through ebay and is a master at the art of gambling. Despite his name, he is not your ordinary Joe.

All right, that's enough of the panelists, let's get on with the list, shall we?

10. (tie) The Long And Winding Road
While My Guitar Gently Weeps

9. I Want You (She's So Heavy)

8. Hey Jude

7. Tomorrow Never Knows

4-6. (tie) Penny Lane
Yesterday
I Saw Her Standing There

3. Help!
Not just the title track on the soundtrack that accompanied their second feature film, "Help!" is one of the best examples of the Beatles vocal range. Despite being considered a part of the "Early Beatles", "Help!" was a starting point for the great artistic achievements that were soon to come.

2. A Day In The Life
Although Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is often referred to as Paul's masterpiece, the epic that wraps it up is one of John's finest moments. This is unquestionably one of the creative peaks for the band.

1. Let It Be
Through all the in-fighting and the tension building from within the band, Paul was able to write what may be one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and our number one Beatles song of all time. Featured on the album of the same name, also their "final" album, it was a fitting way to wrap up the career of the most important band in the history of rock and roll.

For those of you keeping track at home that's...
