For readers who loved 'Tune In' and Nick Hornby's 'Songbook', an anthology of essays from a chorus of 29 luminaries singing the praises of their favourite Beatles songs. The Beatles' influence - on their contemporaries, on our cultural consciousness, and on the music industry ever after - is difficult to overstate. We all have a favourite song from the band that made us want to fall in love, tune in, and follow our dreams. Arranged chronologically by the date of the song's release, these essays highlight both the Beatles' evolution as well as the span of generations their music affected. From Beatlemaniacs who grew up listening to the iconic albums on vinyl to new fans who download the songs on iTunes, each contributor explores a poignant intersection between Beatles history and personal history.
