Rarities
Yes, absolutely. As was mentioned, one fine aspect of AM is the fact that you hear music here that you cannot hear anywhere else.
Fact is, there are plenty of Beatles songs that neither the "classic rock" radio stations nor the "oldies" radio stations play. Ever. Perhaps AM could embrace these oft-overlooked Beatles gems for our listening pleasure? Some suggestions below...
"Revolution 9"
"I've Got A Feeling"
"Whats The New Mary Jane?"
"Hey Bulldog"
"Its All Too Much"
"Only A Northern Song"
"Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey"
"Polytheme Pam"
"I Want You (She's So Heavy)"
"Baby You're A Rich Man"
"You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)"
I'll stop there. If AM plays any of these tunes and I am not aware, then thats sensational. These songs, and others like them, are what made the actual records by the Beatles that much more complete, progressive and dynamic than just what the radio played. For those who only know the Beatles from Top 40 radio of yesteryear, it may seem like they Beatles could be easily likened to a boy band - when it fact, the records as a whole are what put them above and beyond what anyone else was doing, and helped to inspire rock bands for decades following.
