THE BEATLES BOOK OF LISTS
American albums for which Capitol Records ought to be commended heartily for assembling and/or programming with a sharp ear for stylistic continuity and consistency of mood, not that there aren’t anomalies on each: 1. The Beatles' 2nd Album (maximum R 'n' B!)
THE BEATLES BOOK OF LISTS
JOHN MENDELSSOHN
American albums for which Capitol Records ought to be commended heartily for assembling and/or programming with a sharp ear for stylistic continuity and consistency of mood, not that there aren’t anomalies on each:
1. The Beatles' 2nd Album (maximum R 'n' B!)
2. Something New (their great rockabilly album)
3. Rubber Soul (their great relatively...uh, mellow album)
Posthumous “solo” singles that are so lame that one can hardly imagine their having made the charts without benefit of their being posthumous:
1. "Nobody Told Me" (John Lennon) Brutally ungrammatical parts of lines of songs by former Beatles:
1."But in this ever-changing world in which we live in..." (From Paul's "Live And Let Die")
Obvious instances of the Rolling Stones aping the Beatles:
1. "As Tears Go By" (a string-quartetbacked ballad released in the wake of the success of "Yesterday")
2. "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow" (A brass-section-backed rocker released in the wake of "Got To Get You Out Of My Life")
3. Posing for the sleeve of the latter in dresses like those worn by John's Aunt Mimi.
