I went through a phase where anything even remotely "old" was derided as useless and irrelevant. Boy was I a dope.
I remember ranting against any form of Beatles worship, saying something along the lines of 'they made rock and roll safe, it's like pulling teeth from tigers.'
The early stuff serves as a starting point for all the shit that came later. It's not my favorite, but it's the beginnings of something that went on to influence countless people to form bands, write songs, embrace art, and that's still pretty fucking amazing to me. Once they started to get weird, that's where I start to pay attention. The White album is probably my favorite, but, I mean, did they ever write anything out and out horrible? That's subjective, don't answer that.
Anywho: If you can't tell, this is the moments before snapping the picture for what would become the cover for Abbey Road. Kind of interesting, if one is into that kind of thing.

Couldn't agree more. Pre-Rubber Soul doo-wop Beatles can suck it but everything then on is excellent. Some amazing psychedelica in that back catalogue.
