Members RitalinCupcake Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 That's easy... The White Album That's right. It is hard to pick second place after that though. Probably Abbey Road for me, but maybe Rubber Soul or Revlover....Or, just the one with the least number of McCartney songs, that one legged wife beating loser.

Members thebazaar Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 revolver by a mile. why? Here, There, and Everywhere Rigby Im only sleeping She Said For No One I want to tell you the perfect mix of straight ahead and acid tinged Beatles. 2nd place Mystery Tour. Strawberry Walrus Penny All you need is love fool tour flying whatever they were on, it was good and best left to them for use in musical creativity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike McLenison Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 That is a hard question. "If I was stuck on a island", probably the White album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzzup Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hard to say I like everything they did, but probably abbey road or revolver. I still think though the Beatles never equalled Pet Sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members trinilopez Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 revolver - so many great songs, great guitar sounds abbey road always seemed more like a wings album to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funky Chowder Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 Abby Road is probably my favorite album from start to finish. Revolver and Rubber Soul are right up there. Magical Mystery Tour and the White Album, while having great stuff, are not quite there for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members trlkvsky Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hard to say really. I think I'm more a fan of specific songs than I am of an album per se. However, I wil say this: the US version of Rubber Soul has always left me awestruck. It's brevity and cohesiveness have always made it absolutely delightful to my ears. I also own the UK version (which leads of with Drive My Car iirc) but it really isn't as good. From what I've read, the US version of Rubber Soul is what triggered the transition to album oriented, rather than single oriented, songwriting at large. The perfect example being The Beach Boy's Pet Sounds, which was admittedly inspired by Rubber Soul's cohesiveness in its US version and The Beatle's response to that album, Sgt. Pepper's...

Phil O'Keefe Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I go 'round and 'round on this question, and it's really a tough one. The three that are the top contenders AFAIC are Revolver, Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road. Rubber Soul and The Beatles (aka The White Album) are great too, but IMO, not quite as solid overall as the other three. Of those three, Sgt Pepper gets a special nod since it was so groundbreaking, and Abbey Road gets props for the mini suite on side two, but I tend to keep coming back to Revolver as their "best" - or at least my favorite. Best collection of songs. Rocks as well as anything they ever did. The start of the studio innovation stuff... just an amazing record overall. For the moment, I'll go with Revolver.

Phil O'Keefe Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 you know what, I woke up with Happiness is a Warm Gun stuck in my head. I'll go with The White Album. For now. And I woke up with the coda of "You Never Give Me Your Money" going through my head this morning. Honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ZeppelinPie792 Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 Sgt. Pepper Then Abbey Road I don't have the white album or revolver though, they were the two records my dad had that basically got stolen from room mates.

Members Wood Chuck Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 I really don't know what I would say is my favorite, I like most of their stuff. I know it's a cop out. What do you guys like? Help me decide Revolver, Rubber Soul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tallman1 Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 I've always thought that the White Album was their Sgt. Pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
