Favorite Beatles album?

Axiomatic Wiki · 11-30-2009, 08:00 PM

It is a mess because it is the first album where The Beatles were not really working together, and they each just wrote their own songs. Thus, the album does not have a solid feeling or emotion like all of their previous works. It has much more of a compilation feel, than an album feel. It, however, is packed with amazing songs. Mess of a record or not, it is one of their finest works.

Brilliance and crap= A mess. Get rid of the crap and you have a very good single disc album.

I'm almost with you here. I love some of the tracks on the White Album, but others I just skip almost instantly. Wild Honey Pie and Revolution 9. I don't know if I'd go as far to say it's mess, for there are some songs I LOVE.

Maybe someone can explain Wild Honey Pie and Revolution to me if they think that they add to the album, but if those two were taken off, I wouldn't miss them.

Magical Mystery Tour

followed by Revolver

followed by a tie between Help, The White Album, and Sgt Pepper

It was a toss up between help and abbey rd for me, I though help wouldnt have that many votes so I went with that.

To be honest everything they made is superb, they dont realy have a best album.

The medley on Abbey rd is something else though. Glad to see nobody voted beatles for sale, that really was a step back after the amazing hard days night.

Don't know if I can EXPLAIN Wild Honey Pie, but I do like it a lot for being anarchaic and deranged but melodic, percussive, whimsical and bizarre but also rocknroll intense. And very short.

Revolution 9 I don't necessarily skip, but I used to put it on whenever I left my friend's room in college, knowing she was too tired and high to get up and turn it off and would have to listen to the whole track, cursing me the whole while. Rude of me, I guess...
