I'm trying to compile a list of The Beatles 20 greatest songs. I'd like something that covers their entire body of work and not simply a recreation of their greatest hits.

Any ideas?

I honestly don't really care for it. It's just 2 songs stitched together with a dissident break in the middle which they then recall at the end.

Well then, don't call your list "The Greatest 20 Beatles Songs".

Call it "MY FAVORITE 20 Beatles Songs".

I didn’t call it the 20 best beatles songs. I just named 20 Beatles Songs.

In my opinion, those are the best. Some people prefer other songs. It’s not like it’s some crime to have different preferences. I don’t hate people who love Mean Mr. Mustard, Yellow Submarine, and A Day in The Life, they’re just not my favorites.
