In 1965 the sound of popular music was quickly developing at a rate that’s hard for us to even imagine today. If you consider the songs that were at the top of the charts in 1963 and then 1964 and then 1965 it’s absolutely incredible how fast musical ideas were advancing at that time. The seven albums included in this article represent the changes of 1965 better than any other albums I can think of. To me that makes them the seven “must hear” albums of 1965.

Too often people dismiss Paul McCartney’s entire career after The Beatles. It’s become such “conventional wisdom” that Paul McCartney was no good after The Beatles that a lot of people don’t even question it. But really the whole idea makes no sense. The guy who wrote so many of The Beatles greatest songs, the guy who was behind many of The Beatles greatest ideas, the guy who wrote such amazing bass lines with The Beatles, this guy is suddenly no good at making music because he’s on his own? It makes no sense, and it’s not true.

Sadly I’ve found that many people think of The Beatles only as the band that sang songs such as “She Loves You” & “Can’t Buy Me Love.” While these simple early tunes are great and have lasted the test of time. It’s The Beatles more artistic, experimental songs that I feel are their real legacy. They are the songs that are still inspiring thinking musical artists nearly 40 years after they last recorded together.

These seven songs were The Beatles at their most experimental. Not all of these songs are among their best (although some certainly are) but they are all a cherished part of The Beatles back catalog to me.

Christmas (and birthday) shopping for a Beatles fan has never been easier than it is now with the release of three new very cool Beatles products on 9/9/9 (these three new products will be the first three Christmas gift ideas listed.) In all this article features seven great gift ideas for any Beatles fan among your family & friends.

#1) The Beatles in Stereo Box Set – This is probably the most obvious choice as it’s a comprehensive collection of every Beatles song released from 1962 through 1970 in newly remastered sound (these CDs sound far superior to the old Beatles CDs) and with really great packaging (much better than the old CDs.)
