The Beatles

Yellow Submarine for obvious reasons, if you were to count it.

Other than that probably With The Beatles. Beatles for Sale seems to be unpopular but I can't get enough of Mr. Moonlight, No Reply, I'll Follow the Sun and Rock and Roll Music. With The Beatles is great but it doesn't have an impression that all the other albums have left me with.

Let It Be because I was waiting for some inspiration in the form of previous songs that the Beatles had brought us and they just were not there. Yes there is Let It Be, but one song does not make an album!

To be honest, I think "With The Beatles" is a great pop album-especially in the context of contemporary music in 1963.
Ok, there is some dross-(Little Child, Hold me Tight), but there are some great Lennon-McCartney originals -All My Loving, It Won`t be Long, Not a Second Time and the best ever versions of Please Mr Postman, Money and You really got a hold on me.
Personally, I think "Beatles for Sale" was far weaker.

I think I'm too young to really appreciate the early Beatles stuff. I'll take Let It Be over a number of earlier releases... certainly any of the '64 albums. I do appreciate that it's a little bit of a drop from the White Album, but I think that's exaggerated because of the trash that the Beatles talked about it, which I don't think was totally objective.

It's their weakest album aside from With the Beatles, for sure. Which is as it should be, given that it's practically mostly a bunch of demos. That said, I would say "Across the Universe" and ESPECIALLY "I Me Mine" are fantastic.

It's funny, but when I discovered the band a few years ago, in my mid-20s, it was the early stuff I connected to first. Which is strange, really, as I came from a metal/prog rock mentality. The latter half of their career is of course superior, but I can't rate "A Hard Days' Night" anything less than stellar.

Why was this thread not moved to a previous one about the Beatles? Just wondering......

It's a separate topic... is there already a thread on least favourite Beatles albums? I'll merge it.

Hi everyone. So, recently the beatles UK albums were rereleased on vinyl. The only US album that was reissued was Magical Mystery Tour. Do you think that the US capitol albums will ever be rereleased on vinyl? Personally, I really hope so, mainly because they flow better and have the hit singles on them

but the US albums weren't what The Beatles intended - they were carved up so as to include the singles, which meant fans had to buy those tracks twice (on the albums and on 7") whereas the original albums gave the fans more value by not including all the singles.
