And today is's been 49 years since the release of this one:

Rubber Soul

 

 

The biggest turning point in the band's career in my opinion.

And it came out only 4 months after Help!

I'm a huge Beatles fan and I am absolutely loving all of the videos!! I do actually know people who have never heard of The Beatles and every time I am told that by someone my heart breaks, both for them and for the state of music in general.

Yes, that is actually a sad thing...

I find it hard to believe there aren't more Beatles fans on here.

Hmm... This is a difficult question. I'm going to go with my favorite songs for each album, not including any solo work they did. Hopefully that's alright. (Also these are obviously not the only songs of their's that I love, but it's already a list that's feels very long).

Please Please Me:

Love Me Do

I Saw Her Standing There

Do You Want To Know A Secret

With The Beatles:

Don't Bother Me

A Hard Day's Night:

A Hard Days Night

And I Love Her

Can't Buy Me Love

Any Time At All

Beatles for Sale:

Rock and Roll Music (even though it's a cover)

Eight Days a Week

Help!:

Help!

Yesterday

Rubber Soul:

Drive My Car

In My Life

Think For Yourself

Run For Your Life

Revolver:

Eleanor Rigby

I Want To Tell You A Secret

Let It Be:

Across the Universe

Let It Be

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Magical Mystery Tour

Hello Goodbye

All You Need Is Love

I Am the Walrus

With A Little Help From My Friends

White Album:

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

I'm So Tired

Blackbird

Yellow Submarine:

All You Need Is Love

Abbey Road:

Here Comes the Sun

Come Together

Oh! Darling

Past Masters:

Sie Leibt Dich

(I' really hoping I didn't list any song under the wrong album).

I don't know what my favorite album as a whole would be. I love all of their music, so it's hard. Revolver and Rubber Soul are both beyond incredible overall, but they have so many that are.

Those under Sgt. Pepper's, except With a Little Help From My Friends, are actually from Magical Mystery Tour . And by I Want to Tell You a Secret on Revolver, you mean I Want to Tell You, right?

 

Nice list! 

 

I'm suprised about these:

 

With The Beatles:
Don't Bother Me


Past Masters:
Sie Leibt Dich
 

 

 

I'll do the same exercise, though I won't include covers.

I've always thought these 3 songs are key in the development of heavier forms of Rock. It may lack the aggressiveness later explored by specially The Who, but these riffs are definitely something to be taken in consideration.

Today, back in 1969 The Beatles had their last live performance ever: at the rooftop of Apple's building in Saville Row, London

I just saw this.  Sorry but it's terrible.   And Yoko at 1:19      Chuck is like  :|  

 

And I love this song by Johnny Rivers.  Mountain of Love is a favorite too.

Why, Yoko. Why??     

 

It's a great song though!

 

Yoko's screaming reminded me of this:
