Beatles far too many, but Strawberry Fields if just one, and Watching The Wheels solo.
I have my eye on that new box set with 5.1 mixes!

Niiice. I love “This Boy” - such a great tune.

My two:
Beatles period - Norwegian Wood
Lennon - Tight A$ (I love it when Lennon does basic Rock’n’Roll :sunglasses:)

@Gazza_64 I was born a little too late and was brought up on Fleetwood Mac, Jimi Hendrix, the Kinks, Bon Jovi, Guns n Roses and Metallica.

It’s an age thing, a young work colleague had heard of Lennon but didn’t know he was in The Beatles! I grew up on them and all the classic rock, new wave and punk stuff!

@WillC Are you going to buy the box set,I had a bit of a splurge a while back and got the Beatles Stereo and Mono cd Boxes plus the Japanese and the US cd boxes and the 3 anthologies and the BBC and a few other bits plus the John Lennon Signature cd box and I still want the Beatles Singles and EPs cd boxes plus I already had the Beatles albums on vinyl in the blue box with the gold signatures.I think I may have gone a little overboard.
