Our Take

It's time for a musical journey where the Fab Four are noticeably absent - yes, we're talking about "Without the Beatles". This compilation album brings together a diverse range of artists who have all been influenced in some way by the iconic British band. From the chaotic energy of The Who to the dreamy melodies of Beach Boys, each track on this album offers a unique interpretation of what music might have looked like without the influence of John, Paul, George, and Ringo. The standout track has to be Bowie's cover of "Across the Universe", where he effortlessly captures the ethereal beauty of the original while adding his own spacey twist. It's a fitting tribute to the band that shaped his own musical journey. However, not every artist on this album hits the mark. The Pet Shop Boys' rendition of "Help!" feels a bit too detached, lacking the raw emotion that made the original such a timeless classic. Overall, "Without the Beatles" is a playful exploration of what could have been if the Liverpudlian lads had never picked up their instruments. It's a fascinating listen that will have you pondering the impact of one of the greatest bands in history on the music landscape. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this whimsical trip down a hypothetical memory lane.
