Back in the wilderness years , (before i re-trained for 6 years to become a probation officer), as a non marine reinsurance broker/alcoholic/coke addict , i was at my 48th consecutive day of NA meetings ..
so there i was in the bermuda triangle of booze, gear, and bullshit city 1989--2008 sitting there mute. in a crumbling church at a na meeting..stupefied into silence by the demonic delusions of grandeur and ego of those in the semi circle with me earning £250,000+ in chalk stripe and gold card lunch expenses in leadenhall market.
at the end of the meeting feeling lower than Karen carpenter doing the limbo, the sponser pulled me aside and told me the story of' Dear prudence' by the beatles.
Humans are capable of great things. it changed my life. It will be played at my wedding. And i will remember where i was in 2008. people change, give them a second chance to prove it.
the Beatles cross the great divide of every generation.

Not saying it for effect, but I just don't get it with The Beatles.
Arguably over promoted compared to a lot of bands (I mean their rise to popularity was unnaturally stratospheric) - you can also read up about their links to the Tavistock Institute and Theodor Adorno, if you're of a tinfoil hat persuasion
But can't deny they came up with a few decent tunes!
So many to choose from, I love the Lennon-dominated '64-'66 era but if I had to choose one track I go back to time and time again it would be George's "If I Needed Someone". Great track all told, and killer three-part harmonies to boot

Please Please Me, is still my favourite Beatles track. I bought the original LP and played it to death. Probably the album, with original sleeve, is worth a bit. I wondered where it was and recently discovered, my younger brother has it, and he says, it is his now

with a killer macca bassline underneath it - great track.
Impossible to choose one, so I'll try a top five And I Love Her - perfection Eleanor Rigby - redefined the possibility of what popular music could do A Day in the Life - astonishing work which never dates Here, There and Everywhere - another masterful ballad from Paul Paperback Writer - Great lyric and guitar lick to die for
Of the solo stuff, I love Lennon's soulful 'Isolation', and McCartney's brassy 'Letting Go'. Never warmed to George or Ringo's stuff much tho, although 'Isn't it a pity' wouldn't have been out of place on a Beatle album.
