They are without doubt the yardstick by which I judge modern songwriting. Forget that it`s "old".... it has rarely been equalled and even with the Great Pretenders Oasis vying for their crown... it`s not happening. It`s not that I`m a nostalgia freak.... they were just great writers, with a great producer, at the right time, with the right noise. I have bought many CDs of the `60s bands because I wanted to have those songs but all of them pale in comparison when you put them next to The Beatles` stuff.
