Revolver the no 1 Beatles album for me. Their songwriting at it's peak, having developed from the early style and not yet become too self indulgent. Of their early work Hard Days Night is pretty damn good ( the ONLY Beatles album to consist of purely Lennon & McCartney songs, fact fans.) I also think Let It Be is very underrated. particularly the re-issued Naked version. Normally I'd say you shouldn't mess with such things, but the new version is a significant improvement on the original.
Yeah - Let it be (Naked) was the track listing and song versions that had been originally agreed and arranged by the band - before Phil Spector got a hold of them basically.Quote:

None of this had the consent of Paul McCartney and was obviously something that bugged him for 35 years.
1: White album/revolver
2: Rubber soul
3: Help
4: Abbey Rd
Recently got "Abbey Road" Re-mastered.
Most of these re-issue projects are just money making hype but I genuinely think the album is all the better for the Re-Master.
There's definitely an improvement in sound quality. The likes of "Mean Mr Mustard" has a lot more vibrancy as a result.
Tempted to get the White Album despite already owning it...............................
The best has to be Abbey Road for me. Just the way the album takes off half way through (the second side) and just keeps going. Ah....
Favourite Beatles album?
