In reply to jackson. Good point jackson. I think that was the assignment. Not best, but favorite

In reply to S.t. If my memory is correct, my Rubber Soul starts with "Drive My Car"

For me, it really depends on my mood and what I haven’t listened to in awhile.I first discovered The Beatles freshman year in high school, about 9 years ago. (Man, I feel old now.) All of their songs sounded strangely familiar and they fit the prerequisite that their entire albums are listenable (not just a few songs) to become one of my favorite bands. Does anyone else have this prerequisite?Nowadays I’ve heard everything by them… there’s really no way to rank them. Then again, we could look at their record sales, right?

In reply to S.t. The last 15 mins of Abbey Road maybe the best medley of all time.As a cohesive album from the Beatles I still vote Sgt Pepper.I hope the concept of an album still has as much relevance for my daughter in 15 years. I think it might not. :(

No hedging here. There is no question in my mind that Revolver is the better album. If covers are the best judge of other artists’ respect of a musical work, then the case is closed. It’s not only a great rock album, but it also has the most enduring eastern-psychedelic compositions (“tomorrow never knows”), political protest songs (“Taxman”) and ballads (“and your bird can sing”). It is still a great listen more than 40 years later. Rubber Soul sounds dated by comparison.Rubber Soul is the bridge between the early beatles and the Beatles that would make Sgt Peppers and The Beatles (White Album). Great album, but sounds dustier to me, a big beatles fan.

Sgt Pepper, from cover, to back (lyrics!!! a first) to the songs and theme. Lovely Rita!!!But ya, revolver…I think I need to pull that one back out. I’m one of those people that listens to a single album in my car for 2-3 months…over and over and over. I don’t know why I do that, but I love it 🙂
