The art of creating an album is one of the most understated aspects in music. There's something magical about how music ebbs and flows during a single sitting and takes you on a journey. Each song has a very specific placement within the track listing; there is a natural flow that invites the listener to keep listening from start to finish.

 

Here at Runaway Music, we have provided you with the "perfect albums" of some of the most influential artists of all time. These songs — comprised of both hits and deep cuts — work together to create a cohesive album that serves as more than just another greatest hits compilation.

John Lennon began his career as the founding member of the Beatles in 1962 — you know, only the biggest band to ever exist — and also enjoyed a successful solo career prior to his unfortunate assassination in 1980. Author of some of music history's most colossal hits as well as some of the most revered and thought-provoking songs of all time, Lennon's music is the full embodiment of altruism.

As the co-songwriter, bassist, multi-instrumentalist, and co-frontman of The Beatles, Sir Paul McCartney always had the uncanny ability to write some of the catchiest and most instantly infectious songs ever — something he carried on throughout his lengthy run as a solo artist. Writer of more than just "silly love songs," McCartney's legendary career has been defined by his pop sensibility and the capability to make you sing along with him.
