Day Tripper
In 2010, "Rolling Stone" ranked "Day Tripper" 39th in its list of "The 100 Greatest Beatles Songs". In "Mojo"s list, published in 2006, the track appeared at number 74, a ranking that Keith Cameron bemoaned as too low in his commentary for the magazine. He said it was the most riff-oriented of all the Beatles' songs and praised the group's performance, highlighting Lennon and McCartney's "finest tag vocal melodrama", Starr's effective drum rolls, and Harrison's ascending sequence over the middle eight for "lur[ing] us to the verge of hysteria". "Day Tripper" was ranked the 30th best Beatles song by "Ultimate Classic Rock" in 2014 and by the music staff of "Time Out London" in 2017.
