23. The Beatles albums ranked

Our final episode discussing the music of the Beatles and could there be a more fitting way to send it off than by ranking their studio albums from worst to best!? Plus we've prepared a little surprise...

22. The Beatles- Past Masters Vol 2

Our final episode discussing Beatles songs that we haven't previously discussed!! We discuss all the Beatles singles between 1965 and 1970 and very much struggle to figure out what our own top 3s! Our next episode will The Beatles albums ranked so if you would like to send us through your own personal ranking of their albums, we would greatly appreciate it for our attempt to collate the general consensus Beatles album ranking!

21. The Beatles- Past Masters Vol 1

We finally get to discussing the Beatles' many non-album singles! We have split up our discussions of the singles in the same way they were split up for the Past Masters compilations in 1988 so please enjoy our discussion of all the Beatles' non-album singles between 1962-1965!

20. The Beatles- Let It Be (1970)

The final Beatles album!! Insane how quickly that has gone by, but yes in this episode we discuss the Beatles final studio album, Let It Be! We dive in track by track and discuss one of the most contentious albums in the band's discography. Oh, and Davis goes on a large rant about the other mixes of the album. To Let It Be or to Let It Be Naked? That is the question.

19. Paul McCartney- McCartney (1970)

In this episode we discuss the first solo album from Paul! We dive into the mastery of 'Maybe I'm Amazed', shine a light onto some of the more underrated songs on the record including the outtakes, and whether or not 'Singalong Junk' should've been included or not.

18. Ringo Starr- Sentimental Journey (1970)

To coincide with Ringo releasing his brand new album 'Long Long Road' today we thought we should share our discussion of his very first solo album! In this episode we discuss the first non-experimental solo Beatles album and our first album for the 1970s, Ringo's debut Sentimental Journey! We discuss why the beginning of 1970 was such a packed time for Beatles releases and why it was so pivotal to the future of all 4 members, we go through track-by-track and ponder over how Maurice Gibb ended up as an arranger on it!

17. John Lennon & Yoko Ono- Wedding Album (1969)

The final experimental album! We made it!! In this episode we discuss the Wedding Album. We debate whether or not it is better or worse than the other experimental albums, discuss the history surrounding the making of this album and why the song 'John & Yoko' is extremely annoying.

16. The Beatles- Abbey Road (1969)

In our best episode yet we discuss the iconic Abbey Road! We struggle to figure out each other’s top 3 favourites and discuss why ‘Something’ might be the greatest song ever written.

15. John Lennon & Yoko Ono- Unfinished Music No 2: Life With The Lions (1969)

In this episode we discuss the mind-numbing 2nd experimental album from John & Yoko. We dive through track-by-track and wonder what was ever the point behind this god-awful "album".

14. George Harrison- Electronic Sound (1969)

In this episode we discuss George's 2nd solo album, the weird and wacky Electronic Sound from 1969! We also go on quite a few tangents on this episode due to us not really having much to say about the actual album so be prepared.
