The Beatles, Album by Album--Conclusion



I will try to keep this short and sweet, because I know I've already bored everyone enough. I know this hasn't been the most popular blog series ever and that it was an exhaustive process, but what I wanted to shine through in my analyses was my love for the Beatles, so that maybe I could inspire others to dig into their catalogue. Like many great things, you can see their talent and their unique sense of artistry by listening to them in only brief amounts, but to truly see the depth and impact of their career, it really requires dedicated listening to their entire output. More than any other band in pop history, their career is required listening. There are many artists out there with great albums and singles, but no one did more in such a brief time to change the face of popular music as the Beatles did, and no one has such a perfect collection of records. It blows my mind that their entire recorded output was released in just seven years. There is both a conciseness and an epic scope to their career. I hope I managed to convey some of these things in my posts, but if not, please do not blame this on them. The fault is entirely mine.

I will include a list of the other posts in the series for easy access here:
