Is there a band in music history with a better batting average than The Beatles? The Fab Four recorded under 200 songs (excluding covers) during their eight year career and you’d be hard-pressed to find 20 worth skipping on an extended playlist.

1968 B-side ‘The Inner Light,’ penned by George Harrison, might be among the throwaways, but its A-side, ‘Lady Madonna,’ certainly isn’t. This straightforward rocker was a return to the band’s roots after the Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour detours into psychedelia.

Watching the recent Get Back documentary, and seeing several performances by a Beatles cover band on a recent cruise, has me in the mood to spend more time with the band.

I did Beatles Weekends for four and a half months in 2009-2010, and between that and assorted other posts over the years, I’ve posted 85 of their songs already.

Granted, some of those are repeats in the form of live versions or alternate takes, but factoring those out, I’ve still featured between a third and half of their recorded output.

Maybe sometime soon I’ll highlight my favorite ten or 20 Beatles songs I haven’t featured yet. Given that batting average, those are sure to be absolute bangers.
