Breakdown of Beatles Songs by Album

[zepplinmike]

Great job organizing this.

I'm wondering if they'll count Past Masters Vol 1 and 2 (which collect all the non-album singles and B-sides) as albums. I'm also wondering if they'll use the Let It Be....Naked song versions and track orders.

I expect that the next batch of songs announced will include songs off of Help, Rubber Soul, and Sgt Pepper, since we don't have any from those.

I also agree that "Rain" would be an excellent song for this game.

I'm hoping the game is chronological, and if so, that should mean Get Back as the finale.

Also, it needs to be the album version.

"... I hope we passed the audition"

Classic.

"Chronological" is a bit weird for the Beatles. Let It Be was the last album released but Abbey Road was the last album they recorded. Since it was the last thing they recorded together (aside from the Anthology stuff), I like to think of "The End" as their last song. I'm sure the game will go by release date though especially since the Let It Be rooftop concert is appealing as a last act.

For some reason that little joke by John is always so bitter-sweetly sad for me... the end of The Beatles so to speak.

A good way to end it though, on a joke, considering their beginnings.

.

Think there is a 99% chance of this, as they are re-releasing this as a double disk volume as part of the re-masters this year.

Hope they do as it includes the best version of Revolution, and will be a way of quickly mopping up the stand-alone single releases.

Just hope that they do not release DLC as full album only - there's some stuff in there that was awful.

I assume they won't use the "Naked" versions as this game contains material from the original albums, and no one considers "Naked" the current version of the album; it's a remake/remix album.

I'm glad we haven't seen "Rubber Soul" or "Sgt. Pepper" yet; they might just be saving the best for last. Same with more songs from "The Beatles"; "Back in the U.S.S.R." looked fantastic (though it'd be cool if Paul were on drums for that!).

There's still plenty of surprises left, I'll bet.

As long as we are talking about Past Masters Vol 1 & 2, could we add Komm, gib mir deine Hand, and Sie liebt dich to this list?

Honestly, I don't see these coming to The Beatles: Rock Band, but hey, why not?

Wouldn't they play exactly the same? Just sing in German

Yeah. It's also an excellent song to silence the "Ringo is a boring drummer" people.

Cool thread. After looking through the possibilities, I'm excited to see what other songs will be added.

Hopefully, every song gets released.

I think that "Eight Days A Week" and "Drive My Car" are shoe-ins for the game. I think every album will have at least one song in the game, and those stand out as disc choices.
