We all have a favorite song from the band that made us want to fall in love, tune in, and follow our dreams. Arranged chronologically by the date of the song's release, these essays highlight both the Beatles' evolution as well as the span of generations their music affected. Whether they are Beatlemaniacs who grew up listening to the iconic albums on vinyl or new fans who stream their favorite songs on their phones, all of the contributors explore that poignant intersection between Beatles history and personal history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith contributions from twenty-nine authors and musicians--Roz Chast on \"She Loves You,\" Jane Smiley on \"I Want to Hold Your Hand,\" Rosanne Cash on \"No Reply,\" Gerald Early on \"I'm a Loser,\" Rick Moody on \"The End,\" Maria Popova on \"Yellow Submarine,\" David Duchovny on \"Dear Prudence,\" Chuck Klosterman on \"Helter Skelter,\" David Hajdu on \"You Know My Name (Look Up the Number),\" and more--the breadth of the band's impact is clear.
