A good idea.

Nuno Bettencourt is one of the 5 biggest influences on my guitar playing when I started. I've branched out since then, but that guy is still bloody good.
Okay.. I was 16 when this song was released. There was actually a movement in my hometown to ban this song. Yes, it was in complete and total jest, because there was nothing malicious in their attempts.. just the fact that this helped kids my age at that time cheat in their World History class!
Lou Gramm was great on this song, but I prefer his work on Inside Information instead. 4 will always be their classic album, but man, that guy had chops.
And finally...
Someone mentioned Andy McKee before. While the original is wonderful, I never really bought it. Then I heard the following cover, and added both of them to my original/cover playlist. Did the same with adding his version of Tears for Fears' Everybody Wants to Rule the World. To be able to create all of those parts (guitar, keyboard, percussion and lyrics) on just the guitar, is phenomenal.
You know what.. Enjoy!
BL.
The second half of Abbey Road is still fresh and wonderful, all these years later.
And Rubber Soul (a most unfairly under-rated album, in my opinion) stands the test of time, too.
Sgt Pepper's next, followed by Revolver.
Shall finish my Beatles trip down memory lane by losing myself in the White album.

One of my favorites and one that kicked it off for me and Mastodon. Killer band and if you ever get a chance to see them live they sound incredible!
Mastodon - Blood and Thunder

This is very close to my favorite Beatles album. I have a hard time declaring a true #1 with them, since there are several top notch albums and sometimes my choice depends on my mood or the weather.
Agreed.
I think that both "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" - two outstanding albums, have suffered when compared to (or contrasted with) the glittering glory - and it is wonderful - that is Sgt Pepper's.
They are subtle and restrained, whereas Sgt Pepper's - a superlative album - is flamboyant, garish, brilliant and loud.

My second favourite Radio head song. Love it.
I prefer Creep but depends on my mood!

But, Sgt Pepper's still sounds wonderful.
And some tracks, such as "A Day In The Life" sound so brilliant - classic, timeless tracks - half a century later, that you can only marvel at such sheer artistic craft and genius.

What can one follow a day (and/or evening) of listening to The Beatles with?
Dire Straits seem right, for a variety of reasons, just now.

I listened to Telegraph Road earlier. Great track.
I am still digging once around the sun. One of my favorite albums by them. I am hoping to get the new one maybe for Christmas. If not, i will pick it up after. I really dig these guys. They also put on one hell of a show.
"Brothers In Arms" from Dire Straits....for some reason, that seems apposite.
And a stunning song.
