Question 9 Explanation:
A Hard Day's Night. All other albums from their "Beatlemania period" featured songs mostly by Lennon and McCartney, but also Harrison, and other songwriters as well. Albums from Revolver forward featured songs written by the Beatles only, but always a song or two from Harrison. The White Album and Abbey Road even featured songs by Richard Starkey (aka Ringo Starr).
Question 10 |
Which was the last album recorded by the Beatles?
Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band | |
Let it Be | |
The White Album | |

Question 10 Explanation:
Their version would have us believe that Abbey Road was the last album, and truthfully it was certainly the last time they collectively did anything together, artistically -- but if you believe that, you are probably also thinking that the whole thing could have ended differently. If you accept Let it Be as the final album, then you accept the fact of the breakup, the tensions, the horrible schisms that drove the group apart.
