why? the albums before Help haven't got any votes (yet).
I don't know what to choose, I like Rubber Soul, Abbey Road, White Album, Revolver the most. As for their rock'n'roll years, I like For Sale, Help and the debut quite a bit. |
Rubber Soul is a fantastic recording as it was also pretty much the start of later Beatles. No Revolver without Rubber Soul first |
I agree, I did not get your surprise, prog listeners tend to enjoy the albums starting Revolver, no surprise here and the poll results so far prove this.

Never studied the bassline to that song as it's an awful song and I try not to listen to it. I'll have to check it out now.
|
So how did you, or anyone else, find it?
A better Beatles bassline than "Only A Northern Song".
Knew I should of made it a thread! |
It's good but "Something" is better.

Went with Revolver; I can pretty much enjoy the whole thing (although "Here, There and Everywhere" kinda pushes the mush), and at least half of the songs are amazing.
If I was to choose a single side though, it would be side three of The Beatles (White Album) which is often ballsy, sometimes gorgeous and practically flawless. "Helter Skelter" gets proper accolades for heaviness, but that "Yes we're going to a party party" bit in "Birthday" is mean E-chord abusing punk madness...love it!

1) Abbey Road and Sgt Pepper 2) ALL the Others I found out that here was "grown up music" when I was 6 years old listening to "With the Beatles" and I really love all of their records.

The OP says "I am only polling their UK releases
". MMT was originally an EP (or 2 EPs to be precise) in the UK and a number of other countries and album in the US (consisting of the EP and singles from around the time). It wasn't released as an official album in the UK until 1976. The Beatles never went in the studio to make an album called "Magical Mystery Tour".<span style="font-size:10px">

ok, my bad, I did not know all these details. But like you say, it was released as an album at some point, it kinda became an album.  Damn, I'm not making much sense now.  |
Nah, I know what you mean. I guess it's an official album now but I can't bring myself to see it as such.
|
I didn't want to put it on the list but forced myself to do so

Rubber Soul, Revolver, Pepper, White Album, and Abbey Road are all good in my book......hard to choose. I'm a bit surprised Pepper only has 2 votes so far.

Believe it or not, I've not heard all of those albums.
Everything I've heard from Rubber Soul onward is pretty good. As for whole albums I love RS, Revolver, Sgt Pepper and The White album.
I really need to listen to Abbey Road again. Let it Be bored me.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
