<< Their lyrics are inventive
and interesting and cover a broad range of subjects (think "Eleanor Rigby" to
"Blackbird" to "Fool on the Hill" to "Penny Lane" to "Rocky Raccoon") and
their harmony singing is really lovely. The melodies are catchy and often
beautiful. I think this is a body of work that will stand up through the
ages and will in years to come be recognized as musically important in the
way that George Gershwin's songs are now being recognized.

Lee, I agree wholeheartedly. Last night on National Public Radio between
news stories, there was an instrumental version of "In My Life (I Loved Them
All)"
and even though I was on my way to a rehearsal of a very different style of
music, that melody (and most of the words, which I thought I'd forgotten)
stayed in my head all evening. Wonderful stuff. I just saw a compilation
somewhere that's called "Beatles' No. 1 Hits" and I think I have to go get
it. Anyone have that one?
