Best Rock Albums 1963 - Page 2

1963's Best Rock Albums list is the one we have been waiting to compose. And that my friends is for one big reason, The Beatles! Yes, 1963 is the year that The Beatles released their first album Please Please Me on EMI's Parlophone Record label on March 22nd 1963 in the United Kingdom. From that point on rock and roll would never be the same…eventually. Eight months later The Beatles released their second album titled With The Beatles. Soon, hundreds of bands on both sides of the Atlantic would follow in their footsteps although never coming close to wearing the same size shoes. Some did get close, like The Rolling Stones. However, in a recent interview with Howard Stern in the middle of this coronavirus pandemic, Paul McCartney was asked by Stern who was better, "the Beatles or the Stones?" McCartney responded,"The Beatles of course." We happen to agree.
