So, you’re the Beatles, you write one of the most influential rock albums of all time, and aren’t sure what to do next? How about writing another, after of course, a visit to India to study Transcendental Meditation. In 1968 the band got away from everything, cleared their minds and wrote music for the “White” album. Returning to Abbey Road studios with music in tow and a myriad of personal and band issues, they managed to pull together one the finest collections of music of all time. It encompasses 4 sides and 4 individual musicians approaching a crossroads in their careers, while offering up the widest range of musical styles ever heard from them to that point. Propelling forward to 1981, a legendary power trio with legendary internal squabbling, release “Ghost in the Machine”. Some call this Police album the stepping stone to bigger and greater things to come, but don’t you believe it. Even hardcore Police fans often coin this collection of songs their favorite. Filled with rage and a poppy rawness never before heard, you could cut the tension with a knife. Although even the band members themselves admit things were starting to unravel, these guys were at the absolute top of their game. Squabbling and artistic differences can certainly work up a hearty thirst. How about a couple of pints of Royal City Brewing Suffolk Street Session Ale get tipped while these albums get spun! Oh ya….that’s a good idea in this material world. Almost a revolution.
