Yeah, I prefer albums as a whole, but there are millions upon millions of dollars worth if their singles are sold online.

And I dislike the remastering job they did on the first 1987 pressing, but maybe thats because it's 2006. I believe George Martin is helping in the effort, so I trust him.

I guess it will get them more young fans. Personally, I was raised on The Beatles. I remember when I was like in like preschool, my parents were teaching me the names of the Beatles and taught me who Mark Chapman was. The Beatles were the first band I ever liked.

i like the remastering job as it is, personally. I just don't find the songs on '1' to sound as good as they do on, say, Revolver, or Abbey Road.

Sorry 'bout jumpng in the thread like this, but same with me.
My mom is a Beatles [B]FREAK[/B] and if you don't know at least 3 songs by the time your three, she'ld disown you(J/K I over exaderated).
But I'm pretty sure we played Twist and Shout over a thousand times on road trips.

It's weird, now my parents don't seem like freaks. Hell my dad said he doesn't even like them that much and my mom still loves them but we don't listen to them much. I'm by far the biggest fan in the family. But when I was growing up, I remember them teaching me the names and stuff. We listened to With the Beatles a lot.

Really? I think the songs on 1 sound great, specifically the older ones.

I don't even know where my 1 CD is anymore.

I lost my original copy of 1 so I had to reburn it.

Apu:p

I am continuingly digging the Beatles. Today I listened to Rubber Soul again, and I still can't believe how good it is. It seems to have that effect everytime I hear it.

I like most of Rubber Soul, but some of the poppier songs annoy me sometimes. I can easily listen to it the entire way through though.

The only song on Rubber Soul that strikes me as irritating is "Michelle." The rest of it is great. "In My Life" is one of the best Beatles songs.

Rubber Soul was the first classic Beatle's album in my opinion.

in general, Help > Rubber Soul, but Rubber Soul has Nowhere Man and In My Life, easily two of their best work.

Definitely one of their greatest. That was actually the song that first got me to take the Beatles seriously when I was younger. I actually like Michelle though. But I don't particularily like "Drive my Car", "What Goes On", or "I'm Looking Through You."

I'm Looking Through You is one of my favourite Paul songs!

Rubber Soul is so great, Norwegian Wood is the song that got me into The Beatles. I love You Won't See Me, In My Life, Nowhere Man, and Think For Yourself is one of my favorite George songs. I think RS is definitely my favorite Beatles album.

Rubber Soul was my first Beatles album so it's really special to me. And it's still probably my favorite after Abbey Road. An interesting thing about Rubber Soul for me is that when I glance at the tracklisting and judge each song individually, it doesn't seem as strong as Revolver for example. But whenever I listen to it, I have to listen to it as a whole, it just blows me away. Every song on there works perfectly on the album even if they don't seem as perfect individually.

Rubber Soul was my first Beatles album as well. Norwegian Wood makes me happy inside. :)

I have a lot more respect for Rubber Soul than I did after finally being able to give it an honest listen.

I'd say something.. but im afraid you wouldn't know I was joking. :-/

So yea, can I be your Norwegian wood? :p

[QUOTE]I'm Looking Through You is one of my favourite Paul songs![/QUOTE]

I actually really like the lyrics in that song, but I don't really like the melody.

[QUOTE]Think For Yourself is one of my favorite George songs.[/QUOTE]

Really? I don't think that song stacks up very well at all compared to songs like "Love You To" and "Blue Jay Way." I'm definitely a bigger fan of George's more psychadelic songs though.

Gay people don't watch the Colbert Report.

It's the truth.

So I've decided for my own amusement I have to start making really cool and trippy tape loops on my computer for future use. Daamn that Anthology book is influential on me.

:rolleyes: Sense of humor ftw.

Ive been loving Rubber Soul lately, its really grown on me.

The Colbert Nation has no tolerance for homosexuality.

I wish I had made my username Doctor Robert.

What's wrong with Tusk?

I'm growing more and more in love with Abbey Road.
