Favorite Beatles album?

The Long Shot · 10-18-2013, 10:35 PM

In truth, I think the group's transition from upbeat light pop began with Rubber Soul, which is my personal favorite album of theirs. Revolver was the album in which the transition was the most noticeable, and by the time they released Sgt. Pepper's, the transition was all but complete.

Nah, Beatles was always lighthearted upbeat pop group. They never were anything more, so it's ridiculous to say that they were something more... Although I love them too.

Really! Then they made a dramatic transformation into something else.

Tough one.

I think I'd have to say... 'The Best of The Beatles'.

I picked For Sale because it closely resembles the American "Beatles '65" album which was my favorite.

Funny that someone chooses it. But is it not that bad album either. Sadly, it includes one or two two bad covers...
I mean, The Hollies' version of Mr Moonlight is much more passable and it does not gave that ugly organ part on it, and I'd prefer Carl Perkins version of 'Everybody Trying To Be My Baby' over Beatles version in every day of my life.

Although I voted here (Revolver), there should have been a choice for Live at the Star Club just to bring out the fans of the Reeperbahn era. There has to be mega fans of that one - poorly recorded, but it's a glimpse of a rocking (if tired) band before all of that fame.

yeah, that is how it goes, first demos were best, so I would choose That'll Be The Day/In The Spite Of All The Danger

The White Album has a diversity that's rarely heard in a band's full discography, let alone any band's one album. The songs on the album are from a period of creativity that spawned some of the group's greatest songs, though that doesn't mean they aren't flawed. I don't really think there is a perfect album by The Beatles as they all either have lackluster stars, middle parts or finishes but this one showcased their abilities the finest.
