So, you like The Beatles? Part 1

It's only fair that I post this up: a compilation of my favorite Beatles songs, one (perhaps two) from every album, and every b-side from every single they've ever produced. I've already done this with The Who (excluding singles), and somewhat with Radiohead, though not officially. It's going to take more than one post I'm sure. Let us begin.. we'll start with UK studio albums.

Tomorrow (perhaps tonight, if I'm bored) we'll continue with UK Studio albums of 1966, starting with Revolver, then we'll dive into compilations, then singles, or singles then compilations. Damn The Beatles for being so goddamn great.
Just kidding. Good for you I'm an extremist.

Later,
