The Beatles & solo : 65 of the Best

 

As Paul McCartney turn 65 on Monday June 18th, with a new album "Memory Almost Full" riding high in the UK & US Album charts; George Harrison's Travelling Wilburys Collection set to be #1 on Sunday's album charts; a tribute album to the music of John Lennon in aid of Amnesty International/Aid to Darfur out to buy on downloads; and the 40th Anniversary of Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band recorded by a load of contemporary Rock acts on the original 4 track equipment at Abbey Road with the original engineer Geoff Emerick.....

 

Then I feel it is a good time to compile 65 examples of why The Beatles were so great (including some tracks from their solo careers....
