well, I always tell people this....Abbey Road is teh greatest work of art ever conceived!

Sgt. is the only one worth owning. No I'm lying but its their best. [I]Abbey Road[/I] is a snoozer.

They're all worth owning, but Revolver is the best.:D

We could really go at this for a while.

Revolver > Rubber Soul > Abbey Road > White Album > Magical Mystery Tour > Sgt. Peppers > Let It Be Naked > Help!

If I had to put them in order of my most favorite, it might go like that. I hate to put Help! last, but I haven't even listened to it all the way through that many times.

:eek: I can't believe you rate MMT last!!

Edit: Second last!!:eek:

MMT is such a fun CD.

Yea I know! It's too hard to order them! I'll put it the way I originally intended.

You know I'm like the only person that says Magical Mystery Tour is my favorite Beatles cd, however Sgt Peppers is very close behind.

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]Sgt. is the only one worth owning. No I'm lying but its their best. [I]Abbey Road[/I] is a snoozer.[/QUOTE]

That's crazy talk! Sgt. Pepper is a pretty good album, but I just find Fixing A Hole, and Lovely Rita to be very dull tracks.

And thats how I feel with three fourths of [I]the White Album[/I]. Odd how that is.

[QUOTE=Up The Irons]You know I'm like the only person that says Magical Mystery Tour is my favorite Beatles cd[/QUOTE]

It's my favorite (currently), too. Top three are MMT, Revolver, and the White Album. I could see why one wouldn't enjoy the White Album, though.

George was an awsome guitar player, especialy after the beatles. Paul was known for holding back george to some extent. George also had the most succesful solo carreer out of all of them.

Abbey Road > White Album > Magical Mystery Tour > Let it Be....Naked > Revolver > Yellow Submarine > Sgt. Pepper's > Help! > Rubber Soul > Hard Day's Night

That's just what I own. I still need to get Please Please Me, With the Beatles, and Beatles for Sale.

I'm pretty sure Paul had the most [I]succesful[/I] solo career in terms of records sold. Unless your talking about a personal opinion. I prefer John and George's solo stuff for the most part. But when I want to relax a little I'll listen to Chaos and Creation, which is a really great cd in my opinion.

But back on the albums, looks like I'm the only one with Rubber Soul as their favourite album haha.

Please Please Me is great! As are the other two...Please Please Me is my favourite of three for the most part. Although the cover songs like Rock N' Roll Music, etc. on With the beatles and Beatles for Sale are amazing.

I've said that it was before, but now I'm not sure if it's possible to have a favorite Beatles album. It's a tie between

SPLHCB
Abbey Road
Rubber Soul
Magical Mystery Tour

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]And thats how I feel with three fourths of [I]the White Album[/I]. Odd how that is.[/QUOTE]

I've never considered [I]The White Album[/I] to be the genious that everyone builds it up to be either, actually.

I do really like Good Night, Julia, Happiness is a Warm Gun, and Mother Nature's Son though.

And the album version Revolution >>>> single version Revolution

Single Revolution is one of the best Beatles songs, actually.

Ya um there is no way someone could actually enjoy listening to the [I]White Ablum[/I] "Revolution." Its just a bunch of noises and not even a song.

Are you talking about Revolution 1, or Revolution 9?

Seems like you don't much about The White Album, hence you calling it crap.

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]Ya um there is no way someone could actually enjoy listening to the [I]White Ablum[/I] "Revolution." Its just a bunch of noises and not even a song.[/QUOTE]

Actually, there are two Revolutions on The White Album, "Revolution 1" and "Revolution 9". "Revolution 9" is the one with all the weird noises.

They wanted to make a single out of "Revolution 1", but Lennon said that if it was to be a single, he wanted it to be heavier, and thats what the single version is.

I like the White Album one more because it's kind of a mellow acoustic guitar tune. :)

I heard that the rest of the band told Lennon it had to be heavier if they wanted it to be a single, whatever though

i like the album version better though.

I like the "Shoobie-doo-wop" in the White Album version. Pimpin'.

Yeah it almost takes on a different meaning when it's heavier, really.

The album one is just like, "Hey, man, don't worry it's all gonna be alright."

Then the single one is like, "WE DON'T NEED A REVOLUTION!"

I agree with you, froggy.

Though not their best IMO, the White Album (WA) was no slouch. Joe Walsh has proclaimed it his favorite rock album of all time, and was hugely influenced by it.

The "genius" of the WA is its sheer diversity. From early hard rockers like "Helter Skelter" and "Back in the U.S.S.R.", to light acoustic ballads like "Blackbird" and "Julia"---the WA was a classic of 60's rock.

It was the biggest selling album in the world in 1968. The first double album to achieve that feat. It was also the biggest selling double album of all time for a number of years, though eventually passed later by Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and perhaps a couple others.

"Revolution #9" was an avant-garde piece influenced by "musique concrete" composers like Karlheinz Stockhausen.

It was primarily John's creation.

It was also the first known Beatle song to incorporate "backward masking". The part where the words "number nine" are repeated over and over, when played backwards with the vinyl record version on a turntable---will result in the repeated phrase of "turn me on, dead man".

Which of course was intended as a "clue" for the Beatle's infamous "Paul is dead" hoax.

The White Album is indeed a great album, not thier best IMO. "Helter Skelter" and "Back In The U.S.S.R." have to be my favorites.

I listened to Revolution 9 for the first time in a long time, and it's a weird recording, weirder than I used to think it was.

White Album is my second favorite....it has my favorite songs on there, but like most people say, it has a lot of substandard filler, so it loses out to Abbey Road, which is strong all the way through.

[quote]It was also the first known Beatle song to incorporate "backward masking"[/quote]

No. The first Beatles song to use the whole backwards masking thing was "Tommorow Never Knows", from Revolver. "Revolution 9" wasn't even the first White Album song to contain clues to Paul's "death", as that was "I'm So Tired", which also featured the technique.

It's also creepy as hell.

Yes very creepy. The first time I listened to it I actually turned it off before it ended because I was so creeped out haha.
