Great song Scrap - that's actually my Dad's favourite Beatles song.
Paul wrote that about his relationship with Jane Asher when they were on holday in the bahamas - useless bit if info for you lol

The Beatles were excellent on the whole. Only a few dodgy early albums to account for. They really got better as they went on which is so unusual these days with the one album wonders that abound.

I love The White album above all others. I also really love A Hard Days Night, Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road and Revolver. Actually, though it's not an album proper I also really like Magical Mystery tour. I am the Walrus is splendid.

The other albums all have quality tracks, but it gets a bit more sloppy for me.

Nice one mate

A lot of people really rate the White Album, I think it's one of weaker of their later albums

I like The White album because it is so ecletic but so full of really excellent tunes. It's also quite deranged in its scope which appeals to me too. McCartney is producing ballads like I Will and Blackbird whilst at the same time producing mentalist brillance like Helter Skelter and Why don't we do it in the road. Not only that but also 30's style piano pop in the shape of Martha My Dear and Honey Pie. They are brilliant pop songs. Lennon is also in really good form with Sexy Sadie, I'm so tired and Yer Blues. But on the whole I think McCartney is a bit better than Lennon on this album. And you can't really argue with Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It's such a good song and I quite like Piggies too, in a strange kind of way. Admittedly there are a few tracks you can skip over, but I think there are about 18 songs that you can call quality.

It's the best double album of any artist for me closely followed by The Clash's London Calling. It puts a beat down on The Stones Exile on Main Street, which I think is a bit turgid in places and unmemorable in others.
