i agree with dom...

marleypumpkin 03.28.2006 01:28 AM

So, am I the only one who likes "Let It Be".

sonikold 03.28.2006 01:33 AM

it's pretty hard to decide... i guess i'm going to say Sgt Pepper ON VINYL. digital does not do it justice.

LifeDistortion 03.28.2006 02:58 AM

I love them all, but have been IN love with The Magical Mystery Tour since I heard it. It blew me away. Have not heard any of the Beatles albums on vynil unfortunately. They are really great though, even on CD.

marleypumpkin 03.28.2006 03:44 AM

I have an original vynil of "Magical Mystery Tour", w/ the original comic book.

I have "Sgt.Pepper's" on LP, I have "The White Album", "The Beatles First w/ Tony Sheridan", "Beatles '65", I could go on & on about my Beatles LP collection.

bump:

Just because there's only 3 topics in the new posts section.

Look above, WOW!

hey alex 03.28.2006 12:06 PM

looks like something i'll have to check out, thanks

truncated 03.28.2006 12:11 PM

Can't pick a favorite, depends on my mood

But I really dig "Rubber Soul," partly because for some inexplicable reason I think Norwegian Wood is one of the greatest songs of all time.

nature scene 03.28.2006 12:21 PM

My favorite is probably Revolver followed closely by Rubber Soul. I used to really like Sgt. Pepper's a lot. It's still great, just not my favorite.

AllHandsOnTheBigOne 03.28.2006 12:40 PM

Abbey Road....Side 2. Although, admittedly, I'm not a big fan of the band in general.

Gainsbarre 03.28.2006 12:51 PM

It's All Too Much is my favorite Beatles song. Why is it so slept on??? They don't even mention it in the Beatles anthology book.

Inhuman 03.28.2006 12:51 PM

I've listened to most of them, and I'd have to go with the White album, and then Abbey Road. I love the song "Piggies"

FruitLoop 03.28.2006 03:52 PM

I agree with truncated.... really depends on the mood, theuyre all (except between the first ones) totally different. Like after revolver. But I'd choose Sgt. Pepper over any other album. It's so..... perfect, somehow. All the work (analog!) that had been done, it's crazy....

Spanks 03.28.2006 07:12 PM

Magical Mystery Tour followed by Help!

TheDom 03.28.2006 09:34 PM

Hot damn! marley, thanks a million!

most of my Beatles stuff is on LP. I was lucky enough to find most of them cheap ($2-$4) each and in good condition, though I don't have them all. I even found Magical Mystery Tour is somebody's TRASH! Complete with the booklet thing and it looked as if it hadn't even been played yet.

marleypumpkin 03.28.2006 09:39 PM

Yeah, I have The MMT LP w/ the comic book as well. Let me know what you think of all the tracks I posted.

It could be the fact that the song was written for the "Yellow Submarine" movie. It could be the fact that George wrote this song about actual LSD tripping, & the childlike state that it puts you in. It could be the fact that George was the Beatle who wrote it. There could be many reasons.
It really gets me angry when people underestimate George Harrison's song writing talents. He's the only Beatles member who I actually like their solo stuff. John's is o.k., Paul's was not too great, but George's was absolute brilliance.
&, oh yeah, "It's All Too Much" fucking kicks ass.

HaydenAsche 03.28.2006 10:19 PM

I dig Sgt. Pep's. "She's Leaving Home" brings me really close to tears every time I hear it.
