I've always wondered what the discography of The Beatles would have been like if their albums had the word "bitch" in the title.
And so I have made a list. Let's imagine that the band formed in 1969 and went on to be a leather-clad imitation of Judas Priest called The Bitches. Instead of singing about love and paperback books and rain and melancholy and happiness etc their oeuvre - that's French for "big egg" - consisted of songs about trucking and motorcycles and hard-headed women. Or perhaps they were an all-female band in the mould of The Runaways, and their awful manager insisted they make it clear on every single bloody album that they were women.
I'll throw in some rarities and US-only albums as well. But not The Beatles at the BBC, because this version of the band would never have been invited to record a BBC session. The picture is unrelated. I begin.
