Vigor maybe you have a point. After all, Sure their last decent album was thirty years ago and they haven't even toured once since, but what have the Beatles done lately? Not a damn thing. Talk about resting on your laurels.

But seriously folks...

My first two albums as a kid were the Beatles 62-66 and 67-70 pressed on red and blue vinyl, which I still have.

I've liked different periods of their output throughout my life and suspect I always will although I'm never in a mood bad enough that I wouldn't enjoy hearing Rubber Soul and I'm facsinated with an enduring notion to re-sequence the White album to begin with Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey.

Definately the most production savey band of the first invasion rockers thanks mostly to George Martin, even their simplest efforts sound lightyears ahead of other bands from the same period like Who Kinks & Stones.

Oddly I listen to more Who Kinks & Stones that Beatles now. Perhaps it's because I can remember every note of those albums without actually playing them.
