Best Beatles Album

[Sugar Ape]

I can never decide which one. I change my mind all the time. What say the GF?

I'm going to include Magical Mystery Tour in the poll options as I consider that a genuine album, but none of the compilations.

 

* This thread is not to rip into Mcartney. Yes, Flying Pig, I'm looking at you. *

[ZonkoVille77]

Mmm tough one.

 

Abbey Road or Sgt Peppers for me.

I'll go for Sgt Peppers simply for the mix of styles on the record and one of the best album closers ever.

[dickie mint]

Revolver.

[Bjornebye]

Revolver

[Captain Turdseye]

Best of The Beatles.

[Dr Nowt]

I think I'd have to say, The Best Of The Beatles.

We've found ourselves a comedian.

[Sugar Ape]

Best of The Beatles.

Think I'd have to say negged for making the same shit joke. You've got one in the post Turdsy.

[KMD7]

I have them all so I go through stages of listening to just 1 for ages. I have to go for Revolver though. It's just a perfect collection of music.

"Who's Wings?"

 

"They're only the band The Beatles could have been".

I thought about negging you first but then I thought, no, Let It Be.

You will soon be hit with Sugar Ape's silver hammer of neg.

[Dr Nowt]

Negged by I presume a Barley lover for an innocent smattering of Partridge, surely that's technically a Polanski?

Negged for whinging about neg.

[PestiRed]

Revolver - purely on the basis that it's the one single album that I listen to the more than the others in it's entirety.

 

I could argue valid and possibly more intellectual points for almost all of the other ones but this is the one that I have on when I want to cook and sing and dance (this is quite important to me in music selection)

 

 

Caveat: this choice may (and is likely to) change every 6 months

Rubber Soul for me. Bought that remastered box set and they all sound great.

It's for my own good.

I always go back to Abbey Road...it has a bit of everything and i love The End

[GUS]

Abbey Road - could have been recorded last week.

 

Most under-rated album is Magical Mystery Tour.

[Adebisi]

Magical Mystery Tour is a favourite of mine. I remember one night back when I was living in student digs I invited 14 people back to my room to keep the party going and MMT was in the record player. It was the only Beatles record I had at the time and pretty much the only record I had that could be considered happy and uplifting. I stuck it on and we all pretty much sang along to every song. A very happy memory.

 

From a purely musical standpoint, Abbey Road or the White Album. I know the White Album has a duffer or two, but for the most part it's close to 90 minutes of incredible music. Revolver too obviously. In fact, whenever one of us bangs on about a new album, "Just how good are we talking here? Revolver side two good or what?" is usually the response. No one knows who or when it started, but we've been doing it for at least 5 years now.

[Thants]

Er it's Revolver but for some reason my mouse clicked Rubber Soul. Michelle my arse.

[Ian Sea]

My favourite changes all the time, really impossible to choose one.

[TheHowieLama]

Real close between Revolver and Rubber Soul (especially if you throw Day Tripper and We can Work it Out on the Soul side of the fence). I always listen to both - doesn't really matter much, easily the most amazing 9 month period of any artist ever.

[RedinSweden]

Abbet Road, but as much for the memories it conjures up from events in my past. I had to choose between that and Revolver.

[moof]

Rubber soul
