Thread: Favourite Beatles album?

abbey road for me. been listening to it flat out lately. their most complete album i think. love the second side of it, the way the songs merge together. was also a return to form for mc cartney, lennons songwriting was way ahead of his on sgt peppers and revolver.

Revolver.

to me though revolver isnt as good a complete album as abbey road. the gulf between lennon and macca's songs are huge. macca was still doing his buddy holly impression while lennon was away on a tangent quoting the book of the dead and using backward guitar solos and loops.

I'm a bit biased towards Revolver because it has some of my favourite Beatles song's on it.

She Said She Said, Tomorrow Never Knows and Got To Get You Into My Life.

Abbey Road is class, just like Sgt. Pepper. Just stuck Sgt. Pepper on my Ipod, not listened to it for ages.

i like bits of sgt peppers... but again i think its quite patchy. some superb songs but again macca's are quite boring. you get taught how to play when i'm 64 at primary school. a day in the life is right up there with the best beatles songs though.

tomorrow never knows is my favourite, so ahead of its time when you consider who else was making music, the byrds, love etc all great bands but that was light years ahead of what anyone else was doing.

the drum loops too good to be ringo! must be mc cartney.

Revolver

Best Beatles album....bar none!

White album, but I can take bits of Revolver and Red album along with it. Just not too often.

McCarney's songs were great on this one imo. For No One, Eleanor Rigby, Got to get you into my life and Here there and everywhere. Better than Lennon's on this album for me for the first time just!

Not really a fan of Good Day Sunshine.

bought my girl the revolver artwork poster cause she loves it and so ive gitinti it too.n Loev the white albim. HELTER SKELTER

pah!

no chance sir, macca's songs were all still stuck in his buddy holly wannabee days where as lennon was away on a tangent. ...your bird, tomorrow never knows and dr robert piss all over any macca efforts on revolver.

abbey road is an inspired album. they sounded like a band again rather than 4 individuals. and i still like rubber soul, it was a transitional album from their bubblegum pop days to real musicians but it has a lot of classic tunes.

i disregard anything dusty has said in this thread as he likes aerosmith

i'm coming to ruthergeln afrobhoy, this time its personal!

the 1 with "dear prudence" (cant mind the name) is a shit hot album.

check this unreleased tune, best beatles song! lennon rips it boy.
