There comes a point in the life of any music fan when they are given the opportunity to introduce The Beatles<\/a> to someone. While they may have heard brief snippets of the Fab Four, this introduction provides an opportunity to baptise them in the immersive world of history\u2019s greatest band, and truly understand the genius of their music. <\/p>\n But upon that privilege comes a swift dilemma: where do you start them? Logic insists that you initiate them chronologically, beginning with the innocent days of Please Please Me<\/a> before slowly taking them on a journey through the records, allowing them to grow with the band and understand psychedelia incrementally. <\/p>\n Logic doesn\u2019t make good art, as we all know, and so the chronological tactic would make little sense. There\u2019s a very strong chance that after three albums, the recipient of your stewardship will become fatigued with the trusted brand of blues rock that shot them to 1960s stardom and thus misrepresent the wider legacy they carved years later.<\/p>\n The other end of the spectrum also feels ill-informed. Thrusting them into the reversed world of \u2018Tomorrow Never Knows\u2019<\/a> or \u2018Rain\u2019 would similarly distort the true image of their psychedelic greatness that did indeed innovate and obscure, but remained crucially melodic and musical. <\/p>\n Two albums stand forward as the primary candidates in my opinion. The first would be Revolver, the 1966 record that built a bridge between the poppy past and psychedelic future. And while it is the record that hosts \u2018Tomorrow Never Knows\u2019, it will be listened to through the lens of the rest of the album, which acts as one of their most complete in history. <\/p>\n
