The Geoff Emerick book is good. The Beatles were great musicians and great studio techs. Not likely to see that again.

Most people who don’t like the Beatles are objecting to the harmony vocals. I can see how it takes away from the musical innovation that I appreciate.

In my experience most people that don't like the beatles fall into one of two groups:
1) They have only been exposed to very early beatles like "I wanna hold your hand" and don't realize that their sound incorporates a massive range
2) Young people who think the beatles are "old people music" and think doja cat and skrillex are real music.

If you want to blame someone, blame John's stupidity in being so taken in by Allen Klein. For someone who was reportedly and supposedly so tuned into human beings on a real level, he sure managed to be easily taken in by an obvious shyster and grifter.

Check this out. 4 separate movies for each member of The Beatles is on the way.

I read the Mal Evans bio.
Those looking for insights on the Beatles themselves will be disappointed.
The most interesting thing was how little it says about Neil Aspinall. As far as I know NA didn't leave a journal, so I guess he's destined to remain an enigma.

I'm reading the book now about the Beatles and drugs and it's hilarious when Neil pops up. You'll be reading about an iconic event like Dylan giving them pot and then there'll be offhand mention of Neil. A front row seat and barely registered.

Without the Beatles we wouldn’t have half the touring bands we have today.

There are some extremely underrated songs on the 1st 2 albums. Currently, can't get It Won't Be Long, All I've Got to Do and Hold Me Tight out of my mind.
Also, I think the Ticket to Ride/Yes It Is single is the single greatest release of any type in the history of music. See you at Sonic.

Agree
I'd add Don't Bother Me and Not a Second Time.

Lennon's Mind Games album has some truly great songs that are remarkably obscure:
Aisumasen - super bluesy and great
Out the Blue - utterly beautiful. Has pedal steel. He can't help himself with the Beatle-esque crazy chords.
I Know (I Know) - if this doesn't make your heart feel good, what could?

I know, it's such a good song.
