The Beatles' 100 Greatest Songs compiled by Rolling Stone

I haven't been around for some time. I've got many records to review and hopefully I will be done with the reviews in the nearest time. Also have I an honour to welcome my friend Nir as the second author on this site =)

But for now: I've been hit by the phenomenon of The Beatles once again. Rolling Stone issued a special collector's edition of the magazine covering the work of Fab Four. Nothing that surprising apart from the fact that they made a list of 100 hundred best songs of John, Paul, George and Ringo. ONE HUNDRED. Do you know another band, that you can make a compilation like that? Of 100 songs? Not many bands reached even the number of 100 songs written in their whole career... and Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr have written and recorded above 200 original tunes in 7 years' time.

OK, I'm the biggest Beatles' fan around but tell me, isn't that just pure magic?

And for now I leave you with my latest discovery, Joe Strummer's solo stuff. It's arguably better than his work with The Clash, what do you think?
