  1. 16

    18. Ringo Starr- Sentimental Journey (1970)

    Given that Ringo is releasing his brand new album 'Long Long Road' today we thought we should share our discussion of his very first solo album!In this episode we discuss the first non-experimental solo Beatles album and our first album for the 1970s, Ringo's debut Sentimental Journey!We discuss why the beginning of 1970 was such a packed time for Beatles releases and why it was so pivotal to the future of all 4 members, we go through track-by-track and ponder over how Maurice Gibb ended up as an arranger on it!

  2. 15

    17. John Lennon & Yoko Ono- Wedding Album (1969)

    The final experimental album! We made it!!In this episode we discuss the Wedding Album. We debate whether or not it is better or worse than the other experimental albums, discuss the history surrounding the making of this album and why the song 'John & Yoko' is extremely annoying.

  3. 14

    16. The Beatles- Abbey Road (1969)

    In our best episode yet we discuss the iconic Abbey Road! We struggle to figure out each other’s top 3 favourites and discuss why ‘Something’ might be the greatest song ever written.

  4. 13

    15. John Lennon & Yoko Ono- Unfinished Music No 2: Life With The Lions (1969)

    In this episode we discuss the mind-numbing 2nd experimental album from John & Yoko. We dive through track-by-track and wonder what was ever the point behind this god-awful "album".

  5. 12

    14. George Harrison- Electronic Sound (1969)

    In this episode we discuss George's 2nd solo album, the weird and wacky Electronic Sound from 1969!We also go on quite a few tangents on this episode due to us not really having much to say about the actual album so be prepared.

  6. 11

    13. The Beatles- Yellow Submarine (1969)

    Follow us on instagram @thefoolsonthehillpodcastIn this episode we discuss the Beatles album that is hardly even a Beatles album, Yellow Submarine! Davis dishes out a hot take on the film and we discuss the four new Beatles songs that made the record. We also dive into George Martin's orchestral score that takes up side 2 of the record!Enjoy!

  7. 10

    12B. The Beatles- The Beatles (The White Album) (1968)

    In this episode we discuss the 2nd disc of the iconic White Album! We butt heads over whether Why Don't We Do It In The Road or Everybody's Got Something To Hide is the better song, we agree that Savoy Truffle is vastly underrated and whether or not Revolution 9 should have been included at all!

  8. 9

    12A. The Beatles- The Beatles (The White Album) (1968)

    The 1st part in our 2 part episode on the iconic White Album (by The Beatles not Weezer) we discuss why the White Album might be underrated these days given the amount of people who don't understand its greatness and go track by track from 'Back In The USSR' through 'Julia'.

  9. 8

    11. John Lennon & Yoko Ono- Unfinished Music No 1: Two Virgins (1968)

    In this episode we discuss the wild 1st experimental album from John & Yoko, which was an immediately controversial release from the front cover alone (which we have obviously censored here!)We dive into Yoko and our thoughts on her as an artist and why she is slightly underrated, as well as the album's bonus track 'Remember Love'.

  10. 7

    10. George Harrison- Wonderwall Music (1968)

    We're back!In our 10th episode we discuss the album Wonderwall Music from George Harrison, the very first solo Beatles album. This one is a bit more loose than usual due to the nature of discussing an album like this, but we hope you enjoy it regardless!

  11. 6

    09. The Beatles- Magical Mystery Tour (1967)

    In this episode we discuss the trippy and psychedelic Magical Mystery Tour from 1967! We discuss whether or not we think it should be counted as an album, why its accompanying film goes underrated and of course, dive into every single track and give our thoughts and feelings on all of them!

  12. 5

    08. The Beatles- Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)

    In this episode we discuss another album often cited as the greatest album of all time, Sgt Pepper. In our longest episode so far we dive into this beautiful psychedelic wonder and have a lot of fun whilst doing it (including a fun little intro Henry thought of)Enjoy!

  13. 4

    07. The Beatles- Revolver (1966)

    Apologies for the muddy audio quality on this episode! We aren’t sure what happened to it but hopefully you can still enjoy this episode regardless! I’d recommend listening on headphones so you can properly hear us! This is particularly disappointing given how important this album is in their catalogue!In this episode we discuss an album often cited as the greatest of all time (The Beatles have a few of those but this is the first!) 1966's groundbreaking and revolutionary Revolver.

  14. 3

    06. The Beatles- Rubber Soul (1965)

    In this episode we dive into The Beatles' 6th UK studio album, Rubber Soul!The 'two of us' have very different opinions on this album so this episode is particularly contentious compared to our previous ones.We debate whether or not this was actually the album that transitioned the band from the Beatlemania period or whether it had already happened on previous albums. We also argue over whether certain songs on the album are underrated or overrated (although we all know no music can be overrated).

  15. 2

    05. The Beatles- Help! (1965)

    Apologies for the muddy audio quality on this! We’re not sure what happened but we are working on making sure it doesn’t happen again! It all should sound okay if listening on headphones!Today we dive into The Beatles 5th UK studio album Help! from 1965 and the movie of the same name.We butt heads over whether 'Dizzy Miss Lizzy' is a good song or not, discuss why 'Yesterday' is one of the greatest songs ever written and why George and John both have hidden gems on this album that go greatly underappreciated.

  16. 1

    04. The Beatles- Beatles For Sale (1964)

    Episode 4! And we are starting to actually get more professional on this one! In this episode we discuss the 1964 album 'Beatles For Sale', a clear outsider compared to the rest of the band's discography, so a very interesting album to listen to and discuss. Enjoy!

  17. 0

    03. The Beatles- A Hard Day's Night (1964)

    In our third episode we discuss both The Beatles' album 'A Hard Day's Night' as well as the film of the same name. We discuss our thoughts on each song and why it is considered the peak of Beatlemania and score the album out of 10 at the end of the episode!

  18. -1

    02. The Beatles- With The Beatles (1963)

    In our second episode we are discussing the Beatles 2nd UK studio album, 'With The Beatles' from 1963! We provide our thoughts on each song individually and each score the album out of 10 at the end!

  19. -2

    01. The Beatles- Please Please Me (1963)

    In our very first episode we are, of course, starting from the beginning by discussing The Beatles' debut album 'Please Please Me' from 1963. This episode is slightly more loose and chaotic than later episodes merely due to it being our first episode, so apologies for that. Enjoy!
