There's just something magical when the most powerful band in the world reaches back into their bag for a song that's such a part of their DNA, they only need one take at knocking out an absolutely barn burning cover of it, and that's exactly what The Beatles did with Chuck Berry's "Rock and Roll Music." Propelled by Ringo's swinging backbeat (he can't blues it ((also did you know John was singing "you can't blues it?" I didn't until now)) and John demonstrating again that in 1964, he was the greatest rock and roll vocalist on the planet, this track serves as a nice calling card to remember exactly what the band was there for, rocking and rolling. I know this one doesn't always get a lot of recognition, but I love this cover.
Our ol pal Kyle Melancon is back with us for the first time in a hot minute. We chop it up about the new Man on the Run doc, 6 handed piano mysteries, and much much more!
What do you think about "Rock and Roll Music" at #67? Too high? Too low? Let us know in the comments on Facebook, Instagram, or find us now on Bluesky! Be sure to check out www.rankingthebeatles.com and grab a Rank Your Own Beatles poster, some of our new Revolver-themed merch, a shirt, a jumper, whatever you like! And if you're digging what we do, don't forget to Buy Us A Coffee!!
