Abbey Road Is The Jewel In The Beatles Crown ?

Abbey Road is the Jewel in The Beatles Crown ?
Even though it's not my favourite Beatles album , it's pretty much the "Blueprint" for the modern Pop/Rock album ?

BEATLES 2 - Your Tracklist

dbone828 — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 09:44:50

As we are all aware, in 2000, the Beatles released a single-disc compilation containing all 27 of their songs that made #1 on the charts in the United States or England.  The sales exceeded just about everyone's expectations, topping the album charts in 35 countries, became the fastest-selling album of all time (12 million copies in its first 3 weeks worldwide), is the top-selling album of this millennium, and the biggest-selling CD (not album) of all time.  That's pretty impressive for an album with all previously released material no younger than thirty years of age.

Although it wasn't the Beatles who came up with the #1's album concept (I believe Mariah Carey's 1998 compilation was the first of its kind), the group's version did inspire a similar release of Elvis Presley's ELV1S: 30 #1 Hits (2002).  Although a worldwide success, it didn't meet anywhere near the sales figures of Beatles 1.  It did however spawn a sequel the following year, called 2nd to None.

There have been rumours of a follow-up to Beatles 1 (perhaps called Beatles 2), and the Beatles were in talks of releasing one.  I suppose they never settled on such a set, but ever since the release of Beatles 1, I couldn't help but wonder what the track listing would look like for this Beatles 2 album.

You could take different approaches to it (I've heard many ideas): the biggest songs that didn't make #1, the songs that made #1 in the other countries, the B-sides to the #1's, album cuts only, or some combination of the aforementioned ideas.  Another concept I like is the songs that made #1 by the Beatles in their solo career, but for the sake of this thread, we'll leave the solo years alone.

So, which songs would you pick for a Beatles 2 compilation?  You've got 80 minutes worth of disc space to use up.  Take advantage of it!

I will post my list soon.
