An exercise that was inspired by a book of the same name (which I got recently from a family friend). However, when doing this idea I realized I would probably have too much of one member so I limited myself to using ONLY greatest hits compilations (with some exceptions [marked with *]). Feel free to select ONE compilation for each member and make your own :)

Albums Used:

1. Wingspan - McCartney & Wings
2. Let It Roll (Songs of George Harrison) - Harrison
3. GIMME SOME TRUTH. - Lennon
4. Very Best Of - Starkey
5. The Beatles 1962-1970 - Group

I know this might seem like a hate post, but please hear me for one second! Most of us know that Elvis’ albums and most importantly his soundtracks had some absolutely mind boggling songs (mostly because of cost saving measures by Parker). But, I’d like to know what YOUR favorite absurdist song of his is OR what you think of this section of his career.

My personal highlights are Scratch My Back and Clambake.
