I'd think Abbey Road would be mine, but Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club is also pretty awesome! |

Why "Magical Mystery Tour" isn't included? ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

MMT wasn't an official British album. It was an double EP over here and was padded out to an album in the States with other singles (not bad padding though!). Revolver is their best album, with The Beatles a very close second. |

Yellow submarine was the worst I went for Abbet Road. From Rubber Soul to Abbey Road ( with the exception of Yellow submarine which was just a money making ploy ) each release was ground breaking. Apparently John Lennon became quite depressed in the early 70s because the Beatles lost their trailblazer status to the more progressive bands. After the Beatle's demise a shocked Credence Clearwater Revival were passed the mantle. After that the crown seemed to be worn by Led Zeppelin and maybe the last crown wearers were Fleetwood Mac. ------------- How wonderful to be so profound |

It's Sgt. Pepper for me, with the White Album a close follow-up. Abbey Road was my first Beatles-album and will always be one of my favourites, especially because of Side 2.

I voted for Help!. Great transitional record where the Beatles are still singing about love (as opposed to drugs & sex), and they sound young and at their most sincere (and not a touch of cynicism). Personal favorites are I've Just Seen a Face, You've Got to Hide Your Love Away,You Like Me Too Much, and of course Ticket to Ride and Yesterday are classics.

Abbey Road without even a thought to anything else. Honorable Mention to Sgt Pepper, though.
The Beatles are, IMO, the very best group ever to grace us with their music. ------------- David - Never doubt in the dark that which you believe to be true in the light. http://www.myspace.com/aardvarktxusa - Instrumental rock http://www.soundclick.com/aardvarktxusa |

Tie between Sgt. Pepper & Abbey Road, but I'll give it to the former because "A Day in the Life" is my favorite Beatles song. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

Rubber Soul is my favourite - they were just starting to get to grips with the possibilities of multi tracking, sound effects, unusual musical instruments, George was bringing in the Indian influence and starting to flex his muscles as a songwriter and the only negative point is the unpleasant misoginy of Run For Your Life, which Lennon himself later disowned. Revolver and Abbey Road are a very close joint second. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |
