1) Abbey Road
2) Revolver

It was Revolver for a long time for me, but just lately Abbey has pipped it.

It was only when I was writing a review for my blog on Abbey Road that I realised that I now preferred it over Revolver.

One of the joys is that each member of the band seems to be at their best on this album. Even Ringo proves his critics wrong by showing them up with a great drum solo during the album’s closing medley. Paul belts out some cracking vocals, very powerful stuff, John rocks like never before and George presents some of his finest songs ever. Individually they all shine in their own right and when they come together (pardon the pun) they shake the earth with their brilliance.

This album has the sparks of genius running all the way through it from beginning to end. It is these sparks of true beauty that continues to inspire and move people even after all these years.

There are a few weak tracks, mainly novelty songs, but these are merely small blips on an otherwise shining record. The highs are certainly well worth the lows.
