Best of the Beatles Solo Songs

 First posted this in 2015. Updated for 2022.

With Peter Jackson's 6 hour plus Get Back documentary now a part of Beatles history, here's my ranking of their solo songs.

I was originally going to rank the Beatles' Top 40 solo songs.  But I thought that wouldn't be fair. McCartney had the most prolific solo career, even when John and George were alive. Ringo's

solo career bottoms out after 1975, John didn't release anything from 1976-1979.  George stayed active through his entire post-Beatles life.  For the George list, I didn't include any Traveling Wilburys songs as those were mostly a collaborative effort. 

So here's my list of each Beatles' Top 10 solo songs.  

Paul
1.  Jet
2.  Maybe I'm Amazed (studio + 1977 live single)
3.  Band On The Run
4.  Live and Let Die
5.  Listen To What The Man Said
6.  Silly Love Songs
7.  Let Me Roll It
8.  Take It Away
9.  Here Today
10. With A Little Luck

Ringo
1.  It Don't Come Easy
2.  Photograph
3.  Back Off Boogaloo
4.  Early 1970
5.  Oh My My
6.  Snookeroo
7.  You're Sixteen
8.  No No Song
9.  Wrack My Brain
10. I'm The Greatest

George
1.  My Sweet Lord
2.  Give Me Love
3.  What Is Life
4.  Crackerbox Palace
5.  Blow Away
6.  Got My Mind Set On You
