She Said She Said
Birthday
Revolution 1

It seems to me to be their darker/heavier type stuff but Im new to them so Ill let MB decide.

Um well... besides all of them?

The most popular fan favorites are probably Abbey Road and Revolver, so those might be a good place to start. I would also suggest Rubber Soul which is one of my personal favorites, and Magical Mystery Tour which I find very underrated. The White Album is interesting because it's different from a lot of their other stuff, and Sgt. Pepper's is pretty good but overrated imo.

In terms of their earlier stuff, Please Please Me and A Hard Day's Night are my favorites.

So overall I would probably suggest getting Revolver, but it might be interesting to go in chronological order, saving the best stuff for last. Or you could even try going backwards, I'd be interested to see how that turns out.

Just get them all

Sounds good to me, thank you!

I may just go backwards for the hell of it. Will probably take a while to get through though haha. But all that means is more good music!

I have the discography of Alan Parson Project, so 10 albums. Any idea from where to start?

The White Album's my personal favourite, and four of those songs you listed are from it as well. Best to work your way towards it though as it's a bit much for a beginner. I say you try a three-pronged go to start with...

Please Please Me
Rubber Soul
Revolver

...and make your way around the rest of the discography from there.

Honestly though you could start anywhere in the Beatles catalogue and not be disappointed, the quality of the music is just that good.

That it is, that it is.

I'm more partial to "Revolver" though, only because "Yellow Submarine" is a song that everyone knows and can sing along to.

I recently started longboarding. I like to listen to relaxing acoustic music. Here are some things I really like to listen too. Jam Balls by Begin and Plane by Jason Mraz are songs I really enjoy.

If anyone can find similar artists like these. Or even songs you guys might listen to while longboarding, that would be great. I would really appreciate it. The really really love that Jam Balls song.

Fat Of The Land is usually held up as their opus but there are many duff tracks on there IMO. Start with Music For A Jilted Generation and go from there.

Maybe give Jack Johnson a try.
