I was recently reading a collection of interviews with, and articles about, The Beatles. (It's called "Paperback Writer"; a good read.) (Hence that "sagging off school" Lennon quote that prompted a WOM thread a while back.) Lennon also calls the mid-60s his "fat Elvis period". I took hold of "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" (their two greatest albums) and he has a point... On the covers and the photos that come with the CD booklets... he was a bit chubby-cheeked in those days, wasn't he? I'd never really noticed that before. Obviously "Blubber Soul" is a wild, unkind exaggeration; my fondness for punnery getting the better of me there. And, alas, when he got his cheek bones back, it was more to do with cocaine than a healthy diet. PS: I rather glibly called "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" the two greatest; though I'd put in a word for "Abbey Road" as well. But I was a regular for five years on the old R2 Boards. The inevitable "What's the best Beatles LP?" teaser made its appearance about three times a month, every month. |

Hi May-Cee, is this a 'what's your favoutite Beatles album' thread? If so, I would say 'Revolver' and 'Rubber Soul' are my favourites - the only ones I ever bought. |

Don't forget Help! Some absolutely essential Beatles there.

No, Rum, that wasn't exactly the point. It was just an odd riff I started off on - not really knowing where it would end up! You're not really saying that "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" are the only Beatles albums you know?! |

Nope, but they are the only Beatles albums i ever bought, May-Cee. I've heard 'Abbey Road' and 'Sgt Pepper' and 'The White Album' (which has a fair amount of crap on it) and 'Let it Be' and 'With the Beatles', etc but I never felt the need to buy any other Beatles albums (except Magical Mystery Tour, which was an EP, I think) |
