kennie makevin Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Almost as impossible a choice as a Top Five of anything in history could be. I could spend hours , come up with about 10 different Top Fives, each record a work of genius, and still omit staggering pieces of brilliance. I can only say, that from a personal point of view, any Top Five that doesn't include either 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' or 'Tomorrow Never Knows' , and preferably both, is a wee bit on the wobbly side....Those two records, the same band, same lead singer, utterly stunning, totally different from the other, recorded barely two and a half years apart !!! Anyone asks you for proof that The Beatles are the greatest band that ever has and ever will be, just play them those two records.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you consider the actual timescale of the album's being just over six years from 1963 to 1969 , the sheer scale and variety on them is amazing. The road towards Sgt Peppers gives you two of possibly their best albums ( imo ) , Rubber Soul and Revolver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollstar Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 There's a Place I'll Be Back A Taste of Honey Tomorrow Never Knows I Should Have Known Better I could choose another top 5 (also including another 2 off the A Hard Day's Night album) that was just as good, but for me these are all absolutely sublime. Lennon's voice was amazing. A Taste of Honey is a cover but for me it's Paul's best vocal performance - to hear them playing it in some dance hall with a revolving glitterball in central Lancashire (or Dingwall!) in about 1962 would have been fantastic. There's a Place - the band is so incredibly tight, considering how quickly they recorded the album and also that Ringo was relatively new, and with harmonica/harmonies that cut you up, it shows you how good they must have been in Hamburg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda was credited with "hand claps" on at least one Wings album, but I don't think that could have been her as The Beatles were famously a 4-piece band. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, way too early for Linda to be around the Beatles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
