Favorite Beatles album?

I know I'm not going against the grain saying this, but Sgt. Pepper's may be one of the best things I've heard in my entire life.

Revolution 9 I don't necessarily skip, but I used to put it on whenever I left my friend's room in college, knowing she was too tired and high to get up and turn it off and would have to listen to the whole track, cursing me the whole while. Rude of me, I guess...

One thing I do like about Wild Honey Pie is how it transitions into The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill...

As for your Revolution 9 story, that seems as though it's a perfectly acceptable use of the song. Hah!

Have you heard the 11 minute version of Revolution 1 (take 20) and how it blends into Revolution 9? Pretty darn cool if you ask me. Gives R9 more purpose.

Rubber Soul by far takes this for me. Most of the songs on the album are very meaningful to me for personal reasons.

ok so i just watched sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band...the ****ty 70's musical with peter frampton and the beegees.

words cannot describe how truly horrendous this movie was...and i hope to be able to erase it from my memory for fear that i won't be able to listen to that beatles album the same way again.

I watched a little part of them singing Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite on the bus, and I almost puked. I can't imagine how you were able to sit through it all !!!

My deep sympathies.

We should write the Queen and ask to have Sir George Martin's knighthood revoked after seeing his name among the producers.

i couldn't agree more. i just kind of sat there the whole time with my mouth open thinking "no...surely i'm hallucinating...this isn't happening". i'm surprised steve martin didn't commit career suicide by doing his little "maxwell's silver hammer" rendition. the context they used the songs in didn't even make sense!

Magical Mystery Tour is tops to me, although my favorite song is on Sgt Peppers (Within You Without You)

THe Yellow Submarine cartoon movie thing is so awesome though, I just can't imagine how they had to do all of that by hand! Amazing.
