In not much more than a handful of years, The Beatles had changed the world. When the news broke on April 10th, 1970, that the musical force that had turned the monochrome world multicoloured the mourning took to the streets. “Nobody will ever replace The Beatles,” one fan remarked, “It’s just one Beatles group. We grew up with them. They started when they were younger and we were younger, and they belong to us in a way. There could never be another Beatles, never!”
One youthful fan Ozzy Osbourne, once proudly proclaimed, “When I heard the Beatles. I knew what I wanted to do,” when speaking to Blabbermouth in 2019. “My son says to me, Dad, I like the Beatles, but why do you go so crazy? The only way I can describe it, is like this, ‘Imagine you go to bed today and the world is black and white and then you wake up, and everything’s in colour. That’s what it was like!’ That’s the profound effect it had on me.”
The songs:
1. ‘She Loves You’
Ozzy’s favourite Beatles track is yet another early classic. As he explains: “This is the one that sucked me in. I was a 14-year-old kid with this blue transistor radio. I heard ‘She Loves You,’ and it floored me. It was as if you knew all the colours in the world. Then someone shows you a brand new colour, and you go, ‘F–king hell, man.’”
2. ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’
3- ‘I am the Walrus’
Ozzy explains: “Lennon and McCartney were like sweet and sour. Paul would be the guy who said, ‘It’s getting better all the time.’ John would say, ‘It couldn’t get much worse.’ I loved Lennon’s plays on words. I love any song where you can go, ‘I don’t know what that means,’ but you understand it anyway.”

4. ‘A Day in the Life’
5. ‘Hey Jude’
6. ‘Help’
“When I hear this, I hear Lennon thinking, “You can’t get bigger than big.” But they did. They got beyond massive. And he just goes, “Help!” because they don’t know what they’ve done. They only know how they did it,” Ozzy vouches.

7. ‘Eleanor Rigby’
“’Eleanor Rigby’ is f–king phenomenal. I don’t know why. I just know that every time I heard something from the Beatles, it made me feel better that day.”
8. ‘Something’
The song might seem a bit on the soft side for Sabbath, but it was actually beloved by the whole band. “Black Sabbath were doing a residency in a bar in Zurich. It was winter and we were driving in the van to get home for Christmas. We were homesick and had no money, one cigarette between the four of us. This song reminds me of that time, because we kept hearing it as we were going over the Alps,” Ozzy recalls.

9. ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’
Ozzy loves the song. He explains: “I used to work in a slaughterhouse, and across the road was a meat-pie shop, and this was on the radio there all the time.”
10. ‘The Long and Winding Road’
Ozzy said: “It reminds me of winter in England. It’s cold, you’ve got fingerless gloves on. And it makes me sad, because it’s the end of the greatest movie I’d ever seen. You hear Paul going, ‘I’m out of steam. I can’t do this anymore.’”
