A drift through the canon

Browse by era

Beatlemania (1962–1964)
Mod sharpness — sharp suits, sharper hooks.
Folk-Rock & Maturity (1965)
Acoustic warmth and Dylan's long shadow.
Rubber Soul (late 1965)
Burnished tone, sitar curls, fish-eye perspective.
Revolver (1966)
Studio awakening — backwards everything, tape loops.
Sgt Pepper's (1967)
The marching-band concept LP.
Magical Mystery Tour (late 1967)
Kaleidoscope coach trip and walrus dreams.
The White Album (1968)
Each track its own room. Minimal. Sprawling.
Yellow Submarine (1969)
Pop-art primary blocks for the animated film.
Abbey Road (1969)
Mature, melodic, valedictory.
Let It Be (1969–70)
Rooftop chill, gold-on-black valedictions.
