Calling All Beatles Fans - Saddo Boxing Beatles Discussion Thread!!

Good post. I would probably have to rate Revolver and Rubber Soul as my favourites. Both albums are eclectic yet commercially sound. Personally find that 'And you're Bird Can Sing', 'For No One' and 'Dr Robert' are the most solid three back to back songs that you can find on any album. Just opinion mind. Also love Abbey Road. Would say 'Let It Be' is the weakest as I don't think it sounds warm if that makes any sense. I probably think this as it is well known that it was when they were at their lowest ebb. Though there are some beautiful tunes on there! Don't think they've really made a bad album really.

P.S - Would say War of the Worlds Or Songs in the Key of Life by Stevie Wonder would be the best double album of all time. White Album's great but not quite consistent enough.

P.P.S - to the post that said that Mccartney's 70's output was shite, Band On The Run? Classic Album!

Would agree with pretty much all of that mate!

Strange how Abbey Road is so much better than Let It Be, even though it was recorded after Let It Be (although released before). I guess the fact that they had all come to terms with the fact that this would be the last album, gave them some calm and insired them to produce one of their best albums. The Long Medley is fantastic!

Yeah the medley's fantastic. Awesome drum solo! Dunno about you but I find that you can't listen to one segment. The whole medley has to go on! And did you know that 'Her Majesty' was originally going to be put somewhere else in the medley? hence the gap and sudden big note to enter it.

Yeh, pretty sure I read it was going to go between Mr Mustard & Polythene Pam

Revolver is IMO the best Beatles album. So tight, no filler, just good stuff. What an album should be.

I like the White Album, a lot really, but they are kind of masturbating all over themselves with that one. Could have been tightened up. Plus too many songs about raccoons and bluebirds.

When you think about it all their albums were like artists paintings.

Where as most plod along with their comfortable and known medium the Beatles really did more exploring than most others for that time I like that their albums vary more than most other bands from back then.
