Mmm, its blasphemy, but I would have to agree with you on that one. Actually nothing before Revolver really interests me.

Rubber Soul doesn't interest you? C'mon, Drive My Car, Nowhere Man?

I'm not saying it sucks. I'm just saying I prefer The Beatles "tuned in and turned on" as they say.

...and as for all of those who have actually listened thoroughly to Hard Day's Night and the originals on Please Please Me, With The Beatles and Beatles For Sale, they know that at least half of Rubber Soul, if not considerably more than that, was much of the same thing.

Rubber Soul sounda nothing like A Hard Days Night...It might be considered in the same Pop/Rock genre, but they sound nothing alike.

Taken as a whole, it is a wholly different experience. Divide it into pieces, however, and you could fit a significant number of RS tracks onto HDN comfortably. That is to say, they would not have sounded odd or out of place on said album.

The Beatles are only something wholly other to what they began as by the time you reach Revolver.

BTW, I thought that Stairway To Heaven vid was very funny. The general style could be analogous to SOME early Beatles work. The way it shifts to Twist'n'Shout at the end though was just ridiculous

I hate it when people say The Beatles were overrated. Without them the entire face of pop music would be different today.
