Forty two years, after breaking up, the Beatles remain the bestselling and most influential group in the history of popular music. Fans endlessly replay their songs, craving more, and thousands of covers have been recorded and performed. Band biographies, pop music histories, song books, and academic titles on the Fab Four clutter shelves. But never has there been a definitive guide to the finest songs of the Beatles after they called it quits.
Andrew Grant Jackson has written for Yahoo! Movies, Baseline Studio System, music magazines Burn Lounge, Mean Street, and Dispatch and has copy edited the Hollywood monthly magazine Ingenue. He directed and cowrote the feature film The Discontents (2004) starring Perry King and Amy Madigan and served as actor Jeff Bridges's development associate at Asls Productions.
