I love Magical Mystery Tour, but right now I've really been digging Rubber Soul - curerntly giving it a spin at the moment.

Abbey road definetly.

Gah...it's hard to choose.

Revolver
Abbey Road
The Beatles (White Album)
Rubber Soul
Sgt. Pepper's
A Hard Days Night
Magical Mystery Tour
Help!
Beatles For Sale

I think that the White Album is great because it's an emotional and individual roller coaster of an album. This was a moment of self reflection for each Beatle, and that really comes across in this album. I would have liked it better if "Sour Milk Sea" had made it onto the album.

mediocre is a nice way of putting it, the proper songs on there should have been stuck on Past Masters vol.2 IMO, the soundtrack is a bit dated

anyone posted the big beatles news yet?

The remasters you mean? Shyea.

Regarding the Yellow Submarine album though, Hey Bulldog is an awesome song.

deffo. Mean guitar solo too. I just meant the George Martin part of that album kind of sucked. Not that I ever took the time to listen to it....

CHOP. THETREE.

I voted for Rubber Soul

two cases for Rubber Soul, based around it being their most misogynistic album which gives me belly laughs

George Harrison dumps his girlfriend and tells her how stupid and needy she is

John Lennon threatens to kill his girlfriend if she screws around

Special mention goes to 'the Word' - a heavily sarcastic paean to Love - and 'Norwegian Wood' which me and a mate once druggily postulated was about John Lennon copping off with a woman, falling asleep in her bath; he later awakens to find her gone and torches the house. I can't wait to hear it in mono.

Just reading the wiki article on this album and after umpteen years I have totally had it with the over-analysis of every tiny step of the recording process for every album and exactly what they were getting up to in between. I have a big full-colour Mojo Beatles book and down the margins of the each page it has a calendar of dates from '62-'70 and tells you what the Beatles were doing, it hardly misses a single day?!
'January 14rd 1965: Beatles begin final tour. George drinks some milk that has turned and is unable to perform. Paul is believed to have first hummed the melody that would become 'Eleanor Rigby' in a hotel lift on this date'
kill all Beatles fans

Yeah people do tend to overanalize the sh*t out of their songs.

But that's what a fanbase does, they analize things to death, this is mostly true for every fanbase.

Rubber Soul is a great album, but I never liked Run For Your Life, it's too disturbing, it sounds so jolly, but of course it's a song about a guy who threatens his girlfriend.
