Flax's Beatles Top 40 Countdown

   As is now much more widely known than when I wrote this last year, I have made a Beatles countdown every year since 1998 around my birthday.  This year I made it earlier, and also made it on two CDs rather than on a tape (because tapes are lame), which helped shorten the mindless patter of mine that always appears (not that it excised it completely - ho ho!).  Anyway, below is the Top 40 with album, and below that, an album breakdown, because I'm lame.
    Also, check out previous year's countdowns, online for the first time: 2001 | 2000 | 1999 (29 songs) | 1998 (25 songs)
