The Beatles Stuffology Podcast

• Rubber Soul

  It's album review time on Stuffology as JG and Andrew tackle Rubber Soul in its entirety rather than piece by piece. Is the album truly the starting point for what was to come? What did contemporary critics make of it (to say nothing of current ones)? And is the album one that benefits from being seen as a whole rather than a series of parts?

• Run For Your Life

  We bow out Rubber Soul with easily the most controversial song on it, Run For Your Life. Does the song deserve it's dismal reputation? Is Lennon right when he claims it's the worst song he ever wrote for the Beatles? And is there any redemption to be had here?

• If I Needed Someone

  We're almost at the end of Rubber Soul now but before the album bows out we have two final tracks to cover. One is rather notorious and the other is this, If I Needed Someone. How is George's songwriting coming along? Has he managed to pull up alongside Lennon and McCartney in the writing stakes? And how much jangle can one song meaningfully contain?   Rankings: Track-by-track Ranking eMail: [email protected] Twitter: @beatles_ology Instagram: beatlesstuffology JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews… Andrew’s Blog: Stuffology   Produced By: lateral disarmament in favour of JG McQuarrie

• Wait.

  There's probably some really clever way of saying that we made you, um, wait for this episode but here it it now but I can't think of one so anyway, it's Wait! Is there much to get worked up about here? Does it continue to give Side 2 of Rubber Soul a boost? And who is the stand-out performer on the track?

• In My Life

  It's another all-time classic to fall under the Stuffology microscope this episode with Lennon's mighty In My Life. Does the song deserve its reputation as one of his very best pieces of work? Do the rest of the band contribute equally? And just how many cover versions are there to be discussed?
