Four Guys from Liverpool – Part 3

In addition to their large number of excellent singles, the Beatles were definitely rock's greatest album band. The care, thought, and precision that went into their thirteen studio albums (in just seven years!) is inspiring. What's even more amazing is how quickly the Beatles were able to write good songs, record them in the studio, and then release them (while many bands today can't even find an idea).


I've heard it said that the Sgt. Pepper album changed rock music- and not for the better. A lot of bands were so inspired by the revolutionary sound of Sgt. Pepper that they lost the rock 'n' roll spirit and became "artistic" studio bands with "important" things to say. But you can't blame the Beatles for what happened to rock music after Sgt. Pepper. The lads from Liverpool accomplished their goal, made a lot of money, and brought the world some happiness. They set the rock bar high and continue to inspire millions of people all around the world. What else do you want? Here are some (more) of my favorite Beatles songs (all of which, by the way, are from the pre-Sgt. Pepper era). Enjoy!
