27.  She Loves You. The Beatles. August 1963.
She Loves You was everything The Beatles had promised the world...and more. Two minutes and 18 seconds of punchy, power-packed, undiluted Beatles music that carried with it a feeling of magical forces at work. It was an instant universal anthem which transformed the vision of four besuited moptops into that of four young gods at play on Earth, generously handing out to the outstretched palms of their worshippers their greatest gift to date, musical ambrosia.
Everything that The Beatles had learned about music on the road and in the sweaty clubs of Hamburg and Liverpool was melted down and fused into their finest song thus far. It was a turning point for The Beatles and the whole of pop music. No longer was rock n roll music a minority cult for British and American teenagers; now it was a universal message of joyful, unstoppable energy. (Vox)
