The Fools On The Hill: A Beatles/Solo Beatles Deep Dive Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

We're back!

In our 10th episode we discuss the album Wonderwall Music from George Harrison, the very first solo Beatles album. This one is a bit more loose than usual due to the nature of discussing an album like this, but we hope you enjoy it regardless!

In this episode we discuss the trippy and psychedelic Magical Mystery Tour from 1967! We discuss whether or not we think it should be counted as an album, why its accompanying film goes underrated and of course, dive into every single track and give our thoughts and feelings on all of them!

In this episode we discuss another album often cited as the greatest album of all time, Sgt Pepper.

In our longest episode so far we dive into this beautiful psychedelic wonder and have a lot of fun whilst doing it (including a fun little intro Henry thought of)

Enjoy!

Apologies for the muddy audio quality on this episode! We aren’t sure what happened to it but hopefully you can still enjoy this episode regardless! I’d recommend listening on headphones so you can properly hear us! This is particularly disappointing given how important this album is in their catalogue!

In this episode we discuss an album often cited as the greatest of all time (The Beatles have a few of those but this is the first!) 1966's groundbreaking and revolutionary Revolver.

In this episode we dive into The Beatles' 6th UK studio album, Rubber Soul!

The 'two of us' have very different opinions on this album so this episode is particularly contentious compared to our previous ones.

We debate whether or not this was actually the album that transitioned the band from the Beatlemania period or whether it had already happened on previous albums. We also argue over whether certain songs on the album are underrated or overrated (although we all know no music can be overrated).

Apologies for the muddy audio quality on this! We’re not sure what happened but we are working on making sure it doesn’t happen again! It all should sound okay if listening on headphones!

Today we dive into The Beatles 5th UK studio album Help! from 1965 and the movie of the same name.

We butt heads over whether 'Dizzy Miss Lizzy' is a good song or not, discuss why 'Yesterday' is one of the greatest songs ever written and why George and John both have hidden gems on this album that go greatly underappreciated.

Episode 4! And we are starting to actually get more professional on this one!

In this episode we discuss the 1964 album 'Beatles For Sale', a clear outsider compared to the rest of the band's discography, so a very interesting album to listen to and discuss.

Enjoy!

In our third episode we discuss both The Beatles' album 'A Hard Day's Night' as well as the film of the same name.

We discuss our thoughts on each song and why it is considered the peak of Beatlemania and score the album out of 10 at the end of the episode!

In our second episode we are discussing the Beatles 2nd UK studio album, 'With The Beatles' from 1963! We provide our thoughts on each song individually and each score the album out of 10 at the end!

In our very first episode we are, of course, starting from the beginning by discussing The Beatles' debut album 'Please Please Me' from 1963.

This episode is slightly more loose and chaotic than later episodes merely due to it being our first episode, so apologies for that.

Enjoy!
