Reply #28: Here are 5 Beatles albums and year of release ...

[ryban]

You want to compare five years of output. The Beatles set the bar. Name a band that could put out five years worth of music to match the Beatles output from 1965 to 1969.

Rubber Soul -- 1965
Revolver -- 1966
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band -- 1967
The Beatles (White Album) -- 1968
Abbey Road -- 1969

Throw in these singles of songs that didn't appear on albums (excluding compilations):

Day Tripper/We Can Work it Out -- 1965
Paperback Writer/Rain -- 1966
Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane -- 1967
Lady Madonna/The Inner Light -- 1968
Hey Jude/Revolution -- 1968
The Ballad of John and Yoko/Old Brown Shoe -- 1969


Here are the RIAA top selling albums. The Beatles have sold more than 166 million copies in the USA with the White Album being their top seller with around 19 million copies sold. I love Oasis but where are they on this list?:
