‘Yesterday’ — The Beatles
This has to be the Beatles’ most famous ballad. The Ranker readers voted it the third-best song, while Rolling Stone ranked it 13th. It was ranked third on the BMI list of the Top 100 Songs of the Century. After polling music experts and listeners alike, BBC Radio 2 declared it the greatest song of the twentieth century in 1999. It only featured Paul McCartney on vocals, accompanied by a string quartet. It was “one of the most instinctive songs I’ve ever written,” he said.
