 Topic: Best Beatles Album
Posted: March 24 2007 at 01:03 |
Although Abbey Road is maybe the proggest Beatles' album, my vote is for Sgt. Peppers; as for historical importance as for personal likes

Try to get "Let it Be... NAKED" is what they call it. The original had too much production and that version is how it was originally recorded. It's much better in my opinion. A lot of fans think so as well. |
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind!

I've recently become a Beatles fanboi, and I voted for Sgt. Pepper. It could be it's because I've heard it way more than the others, though. And I finally ordered it the other day, along with Abbey Road and Revolver. I should have them tomorrow! *drools* Anyway, I love 90% of their material. They seem to be as consistent as I wish Queen was.

I voted white album, but Abbey Road and Revolver comes near.
And again, it's true what I think about Beatles and progarchives...

To me it's the White Album, it contains so different kind of songs. Anyway I love every album by The Beatles.

Hey guys, i was thinking. I've just recently got into the Beatles, and wondered just how highly they are thought of on progarchives.
Please share your opinions.
Cheers guys,

All the Beatle albums you've listed on your poll are probably the greatest rock albums of all times. So this was a difficult decision to pick which one could be considered their greatest.
But I will say that one of my favorite is Sgt. Peppers. It could be said that it was a precursor album to what became Prog, Psychedelic and the album that changed the recording industry and dare I say the music listening world.
Some would probably argue that there were other albums or artists more significant or better, but this is the one that made the biggest impact on a commercial and artistic level.
I had never heard and ending like A Day In The Life, or a sitar, various keyboards, orchestral sections with lyrical vignettes about growing old, a meter maid, alienation, Eastern philosophy, and fantasy excursions of Mr. Kites and Lucy InThe Sky With Diamonds all rolled into one album.
And the music just got better with their following albums, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Abbey Road, and the other ProtoProg album, Magical Mystery Tour...

1.- Abbey Road: Masterpiece, side two is perfect and side one is excellent also.
2.- Let it Be: Another outstanding album.
3.- Sgt Peppers: Good but IMO not the masterpiece people tend to believe it is, honestly I like more the Rolling Stones version of it Their Satanic Majesties Request..

My personal favorite is Beatles For Sale for simple, clean songwriting. But Revolver, Pepper's and White Album are each superb. Let It Be is also great for straight forward rock `n roll jamming.

Abbey Road, but I love the White Album, Sgt. Pepper's and Revolver, too. They're all good, it's the Beatles.

Top 3 are The White, Rubber Soul, and Magical Mystery. I think Revolver's way overrated.

Abbey Road, hard to rank the other big 3, but Abbey definitely at the top.
