Last week, inspired by John McCain’s frequent use of “My friends,” we dedicated our weekend Rock List to songs that stress companionship. After counting the votes, the Beatles’ Billy Shears and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band anthem beat out other friendship odes like from the White Stripes, the Kinks and Amy Winehouse:

1. The Beatles – “With A Little Help From My Friends”
2. White Stripes – “We’re Going To Be Friends”
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers – “My Friends”
4. Queen – “You’re My Best Friend”
5. Rolling Stones – “Waiting On A Friend”
6. Foo Fighters – “Friend of a Friend”
7. The Kinks – “See My Friends”
8. Morrissey – “We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful”
9. Ben E. King – “Stand By Me”
10. Amy Winehouse – “Just Friends”
11. Bill Withers – “Lean On Me”
12. War – “Why Can’t We Be Friends?”
13. James Taylor – “You’ve Got a Friend”
14. Whodini – “Friends”
