60 Years of Rubber Soul by The Beatles!

prod. George Martin, released 3rd December 1965

It was the most out-there music they’d ever made, but also their warmest, friendliest and most emotionally direct. As soon as it dropped in December 1965, Rubber Soul cut the story of pop music in half — we’re all living in the future this album invented. Rob Sheffield for Rolling Stone

(continued excerpts from Sheffield's article)

Given the album’s impact […], it’s startling to note how fast and frantic the sessions were. The Beatles didn’t go into the studio with a mystic crystal vision to express — they went in with a deadline. They had to supply product for the 1965 Christmas season, which meant crunching it out in four frenzied weeks, from October 12th to November 12th. So they holed up in Abbey Road around the clock, pouring out music as fast as they could, holding nothing back. They were willing to try any idea, whether it turned out brilliantly (the sitar, the harmonium) or not (the six-minute R&B instrumental jam, which they wisely axed). They wrote seven of the songs in one week.

But with their backs against the wall, working under this pressure, the Beatles produced an album that was way ahead of what anyone had done before. Since these guys were riding new levels of musical fluidity and inspiration, firing on so many more cylinders than anybody else had, they stumbled onto discoveries that changed the way music has been made ever since. It was an accidental masterpiece — but one that stunned the Beatles into realizing how far they could go. After that, they went full-time into the masterpiece-making business.

Those four faces were peering out from record racks a few weeks later, in Robert Freeman’s classic distorted cover photo. For the first time, the band name was nowhere to be seen—only those cocky mugs. The four scared kids who looked so miserable a year earlier, on the cover of Beatles for Sale? Now brimming with arrogance. On fire with belief in their new music. Using instruments nobody can pronounce. Not really caring if you liked the old songs better. Full grown men, full of emotion and on top of the world. Meet the Beatles.

RIP George Harrison, you would've loved "Goodbye" by Sabrina Carpenter.

But more specifically, "Goodbye", because the 'Forgive my French, but fuck you, ta ta' is his ENTIRE mood in Get Back.

i'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me (ringo) x you know how much i hate that everybody just expects me to bounce back, just like that (paul) x they see right through me, i see right through me (john) x always an angel, never a god (george)

[pennielane]

“When you witness the joyful eye contact between Paul and John, as they harmonize, you can also see the rage smolder on George’s face. (No poker player, Harrison.) No wonder this is the song that pissed him off; it must have been agonizing to feel blocked out of that John/Paul duet. Everybody else on earth treats George like a world-class artist, including peers like Dylan and the Band. But the Beatles still treat him like a little kid.” — Rob Sheffield, Rolling Stone Get Back review

I love this whole interview because half of it is just Ringo embarrassing George
