Imagine
one of those tween magazine quizzes, one that is supposed to show what
your favorite music says about you by asking you cute questions about
your musical taste. Except in return, this one would provide you with
some stone-cold harrowing insight into your soul as to specifically why
you may prefer The Beatles A Hard Day's Night over Yellow Submarine.
While I cannot provide you that kind of insight, it is a fact that
The Beatles evolved between each of their albums in a fashion that
resulted in their branching out enough to reach a wide array of tastes
and personalities, arguably more than any other pop group in history.
This is what enabled them to capture the world's imagination, and
probably why you're even reading this.
Today the Beatles are still one of the most revered bands of all
time. Truth be told, I used to question this. Growing up, I wasn't
exposed to much of them beyond the occasional "Hey Jude" coming on Sunny
99.1 after something like The Eagles' "Hotel California." Those two
songs didn't differ much to me. I thought they were both boring and
overplayed. Blasphemy ensued, etc.
Fast-forward to a few years later. I hit that breaking point, say, resembling that moment in the movie Almost Famous
when 15-year-old William Miller played that record that changed his
life. Though this time there wasn't just one particular song that I can
say changed my life, but those teenage years were enough to awaken my
blossoming interest in music and its surrounding culture.
