The Beatles were still The Beatles after they broke up...musically speaking. The genius each of them brought into the group they took with them as they went their separate ways. As a result, we still heard a lot of music from The Beatles alone that was as great as the music they made together...with a good deal of variance from that, to be sure.The Beatles Top 101 Solo Songs celebrates the music John, Paul, George and Ringo created in the decades after the group's break up...in essence, the continuation of their remarkable legacy, now done one Beatle at a time.

The Beatles were still The Beatles after they broke up...musically speaking. The genius each of them brought into the group they took with them as they went their separate ways. As a result, we still heard a lot of music from The Beatles alone that was as great as the music they made together...with a good deal of variance from that, to be sure.The Beatles Top 101 Solo Songs celebrates the music John, Paul, George and Ringo created in the decades after the group's break up...in essence, the continuation of their remarkable legacy, now done one Beatle at a time. The book looks at the most significant work (not always their best) done by the four of them alone...showcasing not only their biggest hits, but obscure titles known, probably, to only their biggest fans...and, probably, not to all of them...but each worthy of being called 'Beatles music'.Colorfully written...insightful, clever and funny... by Casey Piotrowski ("The Beatles 50 Most Memorable Moments" and host of the nationally syndicated radio series "The Beatles Show"), 'The Beatles Top 101' not only explains why each of these songs deserve a place on this list, but also gives background and context as to what was going on...with The Beatles, with the music industry...even what was going on in society...as we first heard them. And it is not merely a hosanna chorus to post-1970 Beatles music. Some of The Beatles most successful solo work was not among their best, yet those songs were still significant and Piotrowski lands the occasional well placed nudge at the handful of their best known titles that undershot their skill level.The Beatles solo work has been underserved, discounted...even, in many cases, ignored simply because it carried the lesser, though still substantial brand names of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison or Starr (still pretty estimable) rather than that of the trademark of musical trademarks 'The Beatles'. "The Beatles Top 101 Solo Songs" means to change perception, correct history and proves that though The Beatles together stopped giving us incomparable music at the end of the Sixties, that same incomparable music kept coming from the four of them...by themselves...ever since.
