10 Bands That Never Made A Bad Album

Before the Beatles arrived, there was no such thing as a rock and roll band. Sure, there may have been acts like Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly that had hit the big time years before the lads from Liverpool were in the spotlight, but they were still solo artists with bands backing them up. Once the Fab Four changed the game with Please Please Me, the rest of the rock scene seemed to follow their every move.

Granted, when you look at the start of the band's career, it's much more rooted in pop rock than anything inventive, being comprised mostly of love songs and rockers that would have pleased many a young girl back in the day. As their career progressed though, every member of the group wanted to go further than just the three minute pop song format, and the mid '60s were where everything kicked into high gear, with records like Rubber Soul and Revolver setting the stage for the psychedelic '60s that were right around the corner.

From there, practically every one of their albums remains a classic among the rock community, whether that's the quantum leap from traditional rock and roll on Sgt. Peppers or their final goodbye on Abbey Road, ending with "the love you take is equal to the love you make." Rock and roll may have started out as party music to piss your parents off with back in the day, but the Beatles found that once you went out of the confines of traditional rock, there was a whole lot more to explore.
