Jugband_Blues Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 pretty self explainitory. all of, (or almost all of) them are so great that i find it hard to choose, so i was wondering what other people think. please excuse me for omitting With the Beatles, Beatles for Sale, and Yellow Submarine from the poll, but it would only let me do up to 10 options.
Mike Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 I have always had the toughest time negotiating this one. But One has to choose. On a scale of 1-10, Abbey Road is a 9.999 and Sgt Peppers is a 9.998, with Revolver coming at 9.997 and Rubber Soul at 9.996.
RonJonSurfer Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 This is a major toss up, but I voted for the White Album. That album, although it shows the strain on the group, is so good, I can't imagine not listening to it, or something off it, almost daily.
Uncle Joe Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 I have always had the toughest time negotiating this one. But One has to choose. On a scale of 1-10, Abbey Road is a 9.999 and Sgt Peppers is a 9.998, with Revolver coming at 9.997 and Rubber Soul at 9.996. That sounds real close to mine but I'd have to slide the White Album in there after Sgt. Pepper, perhaps at 9.9998.5.
Kevin Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 White Album : Seems to cover most of the group's moods and sounds ; rock, ballads, quirky tunes , pop , etc.
MarcM Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 I voted for Let It Be. I could listen to any Beatle album at any time, so I picked Let It Be for sentimental reasons.
Mike Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 I voted for Let It Be. I could listen to any Beatle album at any time, so I picked Let It Be for sentimental reasons. You know, as many times as I have heard Let it be in my life, (743 times I think) I really can't go back after listening to Let it be... naked. It's better sounding, it's the way the boys actually "recorded" it and it's un-produced. Yet it's kinda sad you know, when I heard it for the first time (naked that is) I felt kinda like I did when I found out there was no Santa Claus, it was good to know the truth, but sad to let go of an old friend. (sorry if I shook any one up with the Santa thing, talk to your parents, I may be wrong)
MarcM Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 I did not hear the "Naked" version until last summer. I still like the finished, "Spectorized" version strictly for the memories it invokes. I have since listened to the naked version only a few times, while the first version still gets frequent play.

(sorry if I shook any one up with the Santa thing, talk to your parents, I may be wrong) I totally agree wit you... I´m so conservative... I voted Rubber Soul. Maybe the White album would come next.
The Seeker Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 Aah, it's tough deciding between Abbey Road and Revolver...but Revolver might just be a very little bit better. I voted for Revolver.
katie_sane Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 I love, love, love all the Beatles albums, but I voted for 'Sgt. Pepper's' for sentimental reasons too. One of my fave Beatles albums is 'Beatles For Sale' and it wasn't even an option! I am a big fan of The Beatles early stuff (as well as the later stuff) which I often think gets written off and that annoys me no end. Top 3 albums for me would be Sgt. Pepper's, Beatles For Sale and The White Album. But hand me any Beatles album and I'll love it They're the best band ever and I don't care what you say
_Laurie_ Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 This is tough...I voted for Abbey Road, and by the way Edna and Katie do RULE!!!
Steel2Velvet Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 No clear winner here, except those who appreciate what clearly becomes, as the years pass, the best compilation of memorable songs by any rock group. Not surprised these two scored-for-movie sound tracks score lowest. There seems to be a tendency to need to write a few "fillers" for every movie, though these are quality albums. Rubber Soul and Revolver are revered for the frontiersmanship stylings and breakthrough innovations into places rock had never gone before (and the Rolling Stones followed quicky down those paths.) Sgt Peppers is a landmark that made "themetic" rock albums and song montages the new standards. Let It Be is monumental in that it displayed the final outgrowth of this amazing groups collabrative powers. Though the songs are individually written, it was their "rubbing off" on one another that made their combined music better than the sum of the parts. But, I chose the White Album simply because it has more of the rock music I love the best.
daslied Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 This is like "Sophie's Choice", but more important. The White Album for me, I guess, but it really depends on what day it is.
katie_sane Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 The White Album for me, I guess, but it really depends on what day it is. I totally agree Das! Right now, I'm in a 'Beatles For Sale' mood. Last week I had 'The White Album' on and tomorrow I may well feel like some 'Rubber Soul' An album for every mood...I like that!
Lucky Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 Aah, it's tough deciding between Abbey Road and Revolver...but Revolver might just be a very little bit better. I voted for Revolver. Jinx. I don't have to type anything else!!
miamisammy29 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 I voted for the White Album, almost all the songs on it are just plain cool....no poofy Love Me Do stuff. Start to finish, a great album. I liked listening to Let It Be....naked, but after about 20 minutes, the guy threw me out of the record store and threatened to call the cops.
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 The White Album....maily because it has such a wide variety of their style...it is one album that I can listen to over and over again, but I love all of The Beatle albums...how can you not!
CanAm Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 My favourite Beatles album is Meet The Beatles, followed by A Hard Days Night and Magical Mystery Tour. Sorry, Sammy! I like their "poofy" stuff.
_Laurie_ Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 do you take your socks off for the special occasion?
Mike Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 At the drop of a hat. From head to toe, with nothing in between? hmmm. Freud would have a field day with you Joe.
edna Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 My favourite Beatles album is Meet The Beatles...I like their "poofy" stuff. Me too. I love all their albums. I sing "Do you want to know a secret" while I clean the dishes and "Devil in her heart" when I hoover and "Hold me tight" wherever... I have a complete cd collection, which I still don´t with the Stones (I will have it soon...) and every little song they do, they do it for me, yeah...
