I was hoping for one of those Sunday morning, Beatles Hour, "Behind the Music" explanations. But, I think you nailed it, Jack.

in the Beatles Anthology, Ringo (i think) and John said someone approached them for an interview. a student i think, because their professor wanted them to make a paper on the meaning of the songs of The Beatles.

they were shocked in the different interpretations and many of them were so negative. this was also the time when they were getting some heat for admitting they were using drugs.

to spite them, John wrote I am the Walrus. He put together words and sentences that didn't mean a thing and something like "Let them figure this one out" (i paraphrased).

Gotta love the beatles, they're music is erudite.

I wouldn't really call them "erudite," but their Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club album is fun to listen to. It pretty much jump-started progressive rock.

Well, I don't really think there's the "greatest band" of the sixties. The sixties had so much exploration, and many innovative bands contributed to the cause in their own way. It's entirely subjective anyways (but then again, so is everything else in life).

I'd put The Kinks higher. Also The Moody Blues did some good music, but they straddled the 60s and 70s I suppose.

What do you guys reckon is the best album to start someone off with from The Beatles?
