Where The Worst Is Better Than Most People's Best..



I normally disparage list programs, as in those 'top 100 films/TV ads/comedians' etc that seemed to be the staple of Channel 4's output when I left the UK 5 years ago anyway, but I'm as susceptible to the Beatles as the best of us, so can't keep away from this...all of the Beatles' output (more or less, doesn't include those bootleg things they did in Hamburg, or the Decca demos, and quite rightly so).

...naturally there's plenty of room for debate, I've only got to the 160s as I type, and as expected about half of the White Album has already been represented plus that sub-Frank Zapper one they did with Brian Jones, but please, putting 'The Word' at 174!! You Blaspheme! Come to think of it 'I Wanna Be Your Man' doesn't belong in the 180s either...

Well, as I implied, we've all got an opinion on them...

POSTSCRIPT: on watching all of the countdown, this person has managed to omit anything that was a cover (which lets out 'twist and shout' and 'money' for example), omitted 'penny lane' and some other famous songs, and cannot count. So forget that then.
