Post-Beatles - The Black Album

Recommended by Bex:

If you're at all a fan of the Beatles, or even contemporary pop music, chances are you've made this mixtape-like album on your own at some point in your life. The Beatles released twelve classic, must-own albums: almost everything from A Hard Day's Night through to Let It Be.

After their break-up in 1970, they also had a rich life of solo albums (admittedly some were patchy). The greatest of them all is probably George Harrison's amazing and undersung double album All Things Must Pass. Ringo Starr's Ringo (which features some great co-writing from Lennon and Harrison) has some classic cuts on it, while Paul McCartney has McCartney, Ram and a few notable albums with Wings.

One of the great things about Richard Linklater's film Boyhood is how it reflects many aspects of life and, in this case, passing down musical taste from generation to generation. The full tracklist is given on Buzzfeed.
