It's time for a cover of one of the most well-known songs ever as The Beatles cover Chuck Berry's Rock and Roll Music.

Does the song deserve the classic status it holds? Do The Beatles manage to make a decent fist of it? And how many times can the word "Showaddywaddy" me mentioned in one podcast? (If you're thinking the answer is "too many" then you're correct!)

Oh dear, what can we do, it's time to talk "Baby's In Black" at you. Ahem.

Yes, it's waltz-time here at Stuffology! Can the song carry the change of pace for the album successfully? Why is the baby in black? Why is Han Solo mentioned?

It's time for Lennon's first Dylan attempt this week... or is it? It's I'm A Loser, either way!

Does the song deserve its reputstion as following on the heels of Mr Zimmerman? Why are Spandau Ballet brought up (and dismissed out of hand)? Could this be the episode that talks least about the actual song itself and just provides a series of minor diversions instead?

It's time for a new album as Beatles For Sale falls under the spotlight and it's opening track, No Reply.

Does this different way of starting an album on a more melancholy note work? Do the Anthology versions shed any light on the situation? And does this really signify Lennon's increasing maturity as a songwriter?

We flip the I Feel Fine single over to its B-side this time out to cover the McCartney rocker She's A Woman. Does the song manage to maintain the quality of its A-side? How do the cover versions stack up this time? And just how many other words rhyme with "presents" anyway?

On to a single as we leave the world of albums temporarily behind and embrace I Feel Fine as this epsiode's Stuffology outing.

Does the song manage to hold its own away from any kind of parent album? How much can someone say "I don't like this" while admitting to liking it and then changing their mind? And do the non-Lennon three-quarters of the band hold up their end of things?

It's four for the price of one this episode, as JG and Andrew tackle the whole of the Long Tall Sally EP in one go. So that'll be Long Tall Sally itself, I Call Your Name, Matchbox and Slow Down - plenty to be getting on with!

How does the EP stack up when compared to the material that surrounds it? Does the band manage to make a good fist of the covers? And what of the lone Lennon/McCartney original?

It's a bumper-length episode this time out as JG and Andrew cover both the A Hard Day's Night album and movie.

After a quick check-in to cover the health of the dynamic podcasting duo (it says here) and a discussion about Paul McCartney, AI, and all that Beatles news stuff, they get on with the task at hand. How does the album compare to the previous two? Is the movie as good as its reputation? And do the two come together (heh) in any kind of satisfying way?

We round off the analysis - if that's the word, and it isn't - of the A Hard Day's Night album with the closing track, I'll Be Back (and not an Arnie joke in sight...er, earshot). After a fairly morose start (to the podcast, not the song), how does I'll Be Back work as an album closer? Does it manage to tie everything together? And why so much ELO discussion?

Time for something a little controversial this time out, as JG and Andrew tackle the notorious You Can't Do That.

How big is the disjuncture between the music and the lyrics? Is there any justification for defending this song in a modern context? And how do you even begin to score something like this?
