The Beatles
BEA Rank: 1
BEA Best Album: Revolver (1966) - ranked #3
A comment from the members of BEA: "To see even one comment slighting the Beatles only shows to what level the listener listens. This is not up to debate. The Beatles wrote the greatest slab of tunes in modern times, bar none. The are the foundation on which most power pop stands today. Musicians know this. They basically wrote the manual on how to write melodic songs. Never having to rely on noise and constant pounding or yelled lyrics and following the crowd. They led the crowd. They always will cause ain't nuttin' comin' any better, ever." brohio (10/2009)

The Pop Group
BEA Rank: 553
BEA Best Album: Y (1979) - ranked #709
A comment from the members of BEA: on Y... "'Y' is one of the most experimental, groundbreaking and revolutionary British albums to have emerged onto the music scene. The music on this album is truelly revolutionary - it is an agit-prop recording par-excellence which integrates elements of jazz, funk, rock, dub and classical music in the most primordial, intense, touching and vibrant of ways. The key tracks are 'Thief Of Fire', 'The Boys From Brazil' and 'Time We Are' which are full-bodied and aggressive slabs of dissonant funk, epileptic tribalism and vocals as ethereal as Buckley's and as ferocious as Beefheart's.
The sound on 'Y' remains as relevant a soundtrack for the human race in the year 2011 as it did on its release in 1979." hairymarx1 (03/2011)

Robert Wyatt
BEA Rank: 246
BEA Best Album: Rock Bottom (1974) - ranked #266
A comment from the members of BEA: "Rock Bottom, best album of 1974 in my opinion and it gave me a new insight of life when I heard it the first time two years later when I was 16. Then came punk [I was living in London then] and everything changed but Rock Bottom remained and remains a rock in my world of music. No doubt!!" Ernest McClean (01/2012)
