POPS10 Incredible Recordings I feel that I should advise that a couple of the items here are quite horrific and I would recommend that those who are weak of heart or who have a nervous disposition avoid them. The items I am referring to are marked in the text. The items are not in any particular order as it is very hard to rate the historical importance versus the just plain weird value.

POPSChinese Beatles Comments: The phonetic translation of the band name "beatles", actually means "diheveled hair" in Chinese. And "diheveled hair" (often referring to an untidy woman). In addition to the old "L" and "R" diremma, do the Chinese have an aversion to the letter "S" as well? FYI: the word is: diSheveled. It is derived from the french word "chevel" for hair. --- Actually, the beatles were referred to as the "pi tou si" as in "disheveled hair four". It's intended to be a name that sounds like "beatles" and yet at the same time, describe their physical attribute of floppy hair, which was their defining characteristic, i suppose...
