First of all, let me acknowledge that there is nothing I can write here that has not been said a million times over.  We're talking about the most famous and renowned band of all time, the subject of countless books and documentaries and whatever else- so what can I realistically hope to add?  Well...nothing, really, although to go on with even an amateur review blog without mentioning The Beatles is even worse, so the trolley problem forces my hand.
