What happens when a lifelong Beatles fan decides to rank every Beatles song ever released?
This week on Why The Beatles Matter, Sean Gaillard welcomes back musician, songwriter, podcaster, and Beatles superfan Jonathan Pretus for a conversation about the music that continues to inspire, challenge, and connect us decades later with a focus on the album, "Revolver."
Jonathan is the creator and co-host of the acclaimed podcast Ranking The Beatles, where he and his wife, Julia, explore every song in The Beatles' catalog while inviting guests to share their own Beatles stories and perspectives. What began as a pandemic-era project ranking all 223 Beatles recordings evolved into one of the most engaging Beatles podcasts in the world. Jonathan is also a longtime musician who has performed with bands including Cowboy Mouth, The Breton Sound, and the New Orleans-based Beatles tribute band, The Walrus.
Whether you're a casual listener or a dedicated Beatlemaniac, this conversation is a celebration of the world's most influential band and the personal connections their music creates.
