Let's suppose The Beatles didn't split up. And let's suppose all the songs the four recorded in the 1970s could be included on a 'Best Of' album.

Any song written or sung by John, Paul, George and Ringo is eligible - bear in mind Ringo's got to be singing at least one - but they've got to be reasonable choices; they won't be mostly John or mostly Paul, and Macca's certainly not allowing 'How do you sleep?' on there, is he?

Due to Lennon's househusbanding in the latter half of the 1970s, we'll have to make do with a single album - although it'll have enough songs for a double...say 28...so let's call it The Green Album.

The Green Album...essentially finalised.

Without whom...
