So I'm back in the midst of serious Beatles obsession! Ah yes. They are the best.

So let's chat all things Beatle. Even if you do vote for the last option.


...ATM I am leaning towards Sgt. Pepper or Magical Mystery Tour. But I'm not sure.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

A Hard Day's Night. With The Beatles a close second!

Rubber Soul! I like the U.S version more, but I like that this is the pivot album for the band. In some songs you hear the style that came before it, while other tracks show you where the band was heading.

I really like the White album the best. So much versatility. Every song is exhibition in style and expression. Revolver is a close second for me followed by Magical Mystery Tour.

Magical Mystery Tour is not a real album and how could you compare a double album to the others?? In all fairness!

Why is not a "real" album? Because it contains outtakes and singles in adddition to tracks for the special?

It's a singles collection, the band members never wanted to release it.

Believe me, if Apple Corp. didn't consider it legit, they wouldn't have added it as part of The Beatles canon of albums. They have been pretty tight about not messing with it for the last 25 or so years. As an album it is a great listen, but then again I am an American who has only listened to it that way for the last 45 years.

Boy, throw the Americans a bone here. Everyone knows that as great as they were, it was their popularity in the U.S. that made them rock gods. That would never had happened had it not been for American Beatlemania.

I've got to go with Revolver. That albums is filled with those bright, shiny Epiphone Casinos. Love, love, love that sound. Only Paul had one for Help! and Rubber Soul, but both John and George got them for Revolver and they sound brilliant. They really paint that album for me.

I suppose I'd go with Abbey Road. I've always enjoyed the somewhat novelty of hearing Beatles through the solid state console.

The White Album has some real crap on it but as a double disk it has more then enough great songs on it to make it my favourite Beatles record.

Don't Pass Me By is great. If insane. But I could not, in my heart of hearts, vote for the White Album as much as I love it because it has Ob-La-Di Ob La fucking Da on it, and that is the worst song they ever wrote.

I need to listen to some of the American track orders, the only one I've been bothered to do it with is Rubber Soul. I do like the slight irony that the cohesive nature of Rubber Soul, that inspired Brian to make his own similar album length statement, was in fact manufactured by Capitol execs and not the band (or did Brian score a British version?).

Maybe I should have put the Past/Mono Masters on there. Most of my favourite Beatles tunes are singles!

I keep meaning to reorder my playlist to mimic the America releases so I can see what all the fuss is about. I am going to make reminder for myself to try it tonight.

Magical mystery tour. I've always found myself coming back to this one. Say what you will about the movie but it's the beatles at the height of their psychedelic period, what more could you want? It's almost like their SMiLE.
