Every 6 months, like clockwork, they'd release a new album or single that, incredibly, was better than their previous songs. "She Loves You," I Feel Fine, "Paperback Writer," "Help!" "A Day In the Life," They just seemed to get better and better with every passing year. Our minds were constantly being blown by these four "mop tops," who came out of nowhere and changed popular music forever. We just took it for granted that it would never end, or at least, I did.

Though I concede that picking a favourite song from the Beatles catalogue is a near impossible task, because their quality was so outstandingly consistent. The "Fab Four" are incomparable. They were unique. A one off. We will never experience anything like them again. They changed the world, not only in music, but the flow-on effects on other areas of society too.

There's a lot of classic albums. And people will argue forever over their own preferences. The three that stand out for me as the "best of the best" are "Abbey Road" ( simply sublime, and what a swansong to finish their career with ! ), and the two from Pink Floyd -"Dark Side Of The Moon" and "The Wall".

Not sure why exactly, but seeing George Martin there conducting makes me emotional and just warms my heart. He was an absolute genius and deserves all the credit for The Beatles’ perfection that he receives (notwithstanding John’s ridiculous comments during a period when he was pissy at everyone and everything not named Yoko). My respect for Paul, which otherwise could not be higher, was increased even more by the respect he always gave George Martin. (Plus, if you see any old pictures or film of the band in the studio, George Martin was always impeccably dressed; the best, most timeless fashion sense IMO.)

GEORGE MARTIN WAS THE BRAIN, HEART AND SOUL BEHIND THE INCREDIBLE CAREER OF THE BEATLES. HE TAUGHT THEM HOW TO EVOLVE TOWARD A NEW KIND OF MUSIC SINCE REVOLVER. HE BROUGHT TO THEM CLASS, ELEGANCE, CLASSIC BACKGROUND (BACH, BEETHOVEN, MOZART, ETC.). PLUS HE WAS THE ABSOLUTE MASTER OF MIXING (ALONG WITH HIS VERY TALENTED ENGINEERS, LIKE ALAN PARSONS). HE TAUGHT THEM HOW TO BLEND STYLES IN POP SONGS. ALSO, HE AND JOHN HAD A INCREDIBLE SENSE OF PATHOS, WHICH MADE THEIR MUSIC EXTRAORDINARILY MYSTIC, SAD, DEEP, UNFORGETTABLE. JUST THINK ABOUT "IN MY LIFE", OR "GIRL" OR "STRAWBERRY FIELDS" OR ........... AND PAUL EMERGED FROM THAT EPOCH AS A GREAT COMPOSER, IN PARTICULAR WITH HIS MELODIES (LIKE A JUGLAR).

Paul has a game face. Humble isn't in his makeup, you just have to watch the Get Back series. It's great, but it shows Paul's ego very well. One of the best people on the planet? Doubtful. He's reputedly a cheapskate and a capricious one at that, ask some of his former Wings bandmates. Gracious? He's documented being an intoxicated arsehole. To me, the question is: what does having the world hail you as a genius from the age of 22 or so, and at the same time, want a piece of you, do to you as a person? Linda was often very unhappy in that marriage. James, his son, has some serious emotional problems. As a songwriter, or at least a melodicist, he is probably without parallel in the 20th century. As a human being, well, let's just say sometimes meeting your 'hero' can be a disappointment. And as much as he'd like to put the breakup on John, it was Paul who nixed the plan for 4 songs each separately, 2 for Ringo, which was proposed about a week or so before John left.

It’s kind of weird to think that Paul was 27 when Abbey Road came out, and now he’s 77.
