Revolver is my favourite Beatles album.

So you guys really think that Revolver was crap?

Interesting.

It may not be full-fledged prog, but I think it definitely meets the requirements for proto-prog.

Wow. Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, and Magical Mystery tour are all FAR FAR superior to the white album as far as progressiveness to me.

All Beatles albums are either pop or rock and  Beatles should not be discussed on this forum. To me Sgt Pepper. is not even prog in any sense of the word. Not even The White Album or Let It Bleed are prog albums. None of their albums are prog albums as far as I am concerned.

While the early Beatles albums are well written pop music.. at that time they were still very much record company pawns.. it wasn't until they started writing the music they wanted to that they really blossomed into something great.

I was looking at the Beatles discography, the ratings, and, there was a fact that caught my attention: The first six albums don’t reach the 3.5 stars, and only since Revolver there are 4+ stars reviews in average. I’m a fan of The Beatles, but a young one. But I’m sure I agree with the old fans (those who had the luck of saw them born) that their first period is not only “good, but non-essential”.

 

So, why all those 2/3 stars rates? I understand that before Revolver you don’t find any prog at all, but that doesn’t mean the albums are poor. Or it is that I’m a kind of freak who loves prog and also the first period of The Beatles?

 

…by the way, my favourite albums are Abbey Road and the white album, and in general, I prefer the post Revolver era.
