About Me

I'm a Beatles fan from Australia. Since I was born after the Beatles had already broken up its always been a bit of extra fun to see the former Beatles reunite in different ways, even though there was never a complete reunion of all four living Beatles.

I'm also a fan of John, Paul, George and Ringo as solo artists and to some extent I see their work as a continuation of the body of work they started as The Beatles. I would even go to so far as to say that a few of the solo albums of the former Beatles are superior to a few of The Beatles actual albums.

How do you decide where a song should be in the Top 100?

Things I consider are:

• How many Beatles were involved in the song?
• If the song is by a solo Beatle with a second Beatle guesting on the track, I take into account how much the second Beatle influenced the sound of song? For example, George Harrison plays guitar on John's Instant Karma. He can't be heard clearly and so didn't particularly influence the sound of the song. In contrast George's guitar playing on John's 'Gimme Some Truth' is a key feature of the overall sound of the song.
• Was the song credited to The Beatles? 'Free As A Bird', 'Real Love', the Love version of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' were all credited to The Beatles. Most songs on 'Liverpool Sound Collage' are co-credited to The Beatles.
• How listenable is the track? This is subjective, but I do try to take into account other people's reviews of the songs to balance up my own biases.

Ultimately my list is subjective, so if you disagree that's fine - I'm not even sure if I agree with it myself!

Who is your favourite Beatle?

Over the years my favourite has changed. Initially it was John, then George and now Paul. I did meet Ringo earlier this year which was unbelievable - but that's another story!

How many "incomplete Beatle reunions" are there?

I don't know - I haven't counted them all yet. I'm pretty sure there is more than one hundred otherwise my Top 100 will be in trouble!
