Title: Real Talk: Rank all The Beatles albums
Post by: Himu on November 30, 2009, 10:10:19 AM: We had this discussion months ago when the new remasters came out, but fuck it, let's do it again. It's been months, maybe some opinions changed.

1. Abbey Road - most consistent, no bad track I don't want to skip.
2. White Album - best double lp? name better.
3. Sgt. Pepper's - would be my favorite if not for Getting Better, Lovely Rita and Within You Without You.

4. Rubber Soul
5. Help!
6. Past Masters
7. Magical Mystery Tour
8. Let It Be
9. Revolver

None of the rest are worth mentioning.

Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, Tomorrow Never Knows, Got to Get You Into My Life, Good Day Sunshine, Yellow Submarine... yeah, black people shouldn't be allowed to listen to the Beatles. Help, Let it Be and White Album ranked above it? Pfft.

1. Abbey Road - most consistent although there is filler (Mean Mr Mustard, Polythene Pam)
2. White Album - second disk isn't nearly as good as the first disk.
3. Sgt. Pepper
4. Revolver -
5. Magical Mystery Tour
6. Rubber Soul - Think For Yourself and The Word are filler

everything else is a second rate rip off of better music (Sam Cooke), and Let it Be is forgettable

:hyper

I agree that a lot of their pre-Sgt. Pepper's work is derivative, but Help! has Yesterday, man. Yesterday.
Title: Re: Real Talk: Rank all The Beatles albums
Post by: archie4208 on November 30, 2009, 11:52:27 AM: 1. Abbey Road - medley :drool
2. MMT - Their most consistent album. There isn't a single bad track to be found.
3. Rubber Soul - Yet another consistent album. There aren't any bad songs, but MMT has Walrus and Strawberry Fields
4. Revolver - This album would probably be my number 1 if it weren't for Yellow Submarine. Fuck you, Ringo.
5. Sgt Pepper - Strong start but it gets kinda boring after She's Leaving Home. A Day in the Life is one of the greatest songs of all time, though. :o
6. Let It Be - Vastly underrated album. There are some throwaway tracks, but everything else is really good. (I Me Mine <3)
7. White - Waaaaay to schizophrenic. It still boggles my mind that Helter Skelter and Revolution 9 can be on the same disc. ???

Yellow Submarine is a Lennon/McCartney song.

Post by: Himu on November 30, 2009, 12:30:31 PM: lol pd

And I agree, Archie. Sgt. Pepper's get super boring after She's Leaving Home. If the rest of the album were like the tracks up to that point, it'd be the best Beatles album imo.
Title: Re: Real Talk: Rank all The Beatles albums
Post by: Robo on November 30, 2009, 12:34:04 PM: 1. Abbey Road
2. Revolver
3. Sgt. Pepper
4. Rubber Soul
5. The Beatles
6. Magical Mystery Tour
7. Let It Be... Naked
8. Help!
9. A Hard Day's Night
10. Let It Be
11. Please Please Me
12. With the Beatles
13. Beatles for Sale
14. Yellow Submarine

Outside the canon, I'd throw Past Masters vol. 2 above Magical Mystery Tour, vol. 1 above With the Beatles, and the Cirque du Soleil compilation "Love" above Let It Be.

Also, Blonde on Blonde > The White Album.

I haven't listened to disc 2 of AEOM in years.

What about Life After Death? I think that album is aight.
Title: Re: Real Talk: Rank all The Beatles albums
Post by: Robo on November 30, 2009, 12:45:26 PM: The Wall :lol

Terrible trolling attempt.

Like the White Album
Title: Re: Real Talk: Rank all The Beatles albums
Post by: Himu on November 30, 2009, 12:54:25 PM: Disagree. I don't think White Album has that much crap. Most of the songs are listenable, which is rare when it comes to double lp's for me.

Yellow Submarine is a Lennon/McCartney song.

Ringo sang it so I hold him responsible. :maf

I'd give my reasons, but law school. . . :-\ :( :'(

I will say that my opinion of Pepper's has improved after listening to the remastered disc.
