5 Greatest The Beatles Albums
This morning I was awoken by a text to tell me today was Beatles Day. Not the most unusual early morning text I received, normally its my little sister telling me Im ugly. But today it was my friend celebrating Beatles Day. And he, like I, loves The Beatles. Today (well actually yesterday, as this is going live a little late) is Beatles Day because it is the 50th anniversary of the release of Love Me Do. The Beatles are my favourite band. The only musician I love more then them is Bob Dylan. I can understand why people dont love Dylan as much as I do, but I can never understand people who say they dont like The Beatles. But those tend to be people whove never really listen to The Beatles, because part of the bands longevity and genius is that their music crosses such a wide range there really is something for everyone. The Beatles have a song to suit every mood. Its become something of a thing to say you dont like The Beatles. But those who do tend to think of The Beatles as just I Want To Hold Your Hand and have never really delved into their back catalogue. I can tolerate when people say they dont like The Beatles, but they do like this song or that song. All the musicians I know or have ever known have all loved The Beatles, even the one that played in a grind core band. Not been a musician myself, I love The Beatles purely for the music and the way it makes me feel. I love the music of The Beatles so much that an appreciation of The Beatles is one of the attributes of my dream girl. Music can connect with us so much, I want somebody who cant help but want to dance to Twist And Shout, knows how it feel to drunkenly sing along to all the na-na-nahs of Hey Jude, and can appreciate the simple beauty of Blackbird. The emotional connection to The Beatles music can become something of a shorthand way of explaining something. This band connects with me on such an emotional level, it is hard to cut the personal out of my opinions of them. But try I must as I present to you 5 Beatles albums that support my thesis that the music of The Beatles really does have something for everyone.
