Bigbobby10 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Part 3: The Beatles Albums: Magical Mystery Tour (1967)Abbey Road (1969) Genre: Psychedelic Pop, Pop Rock I don't have to explain why The Beatles are amazing, but it may be interesting to see Magical Mystery Tour in here as one of my favorite albums. Not sure how to explain it either really. I will say I do think Abbey Road is better and is indeed a flawless album, but I think both are just about perfect and are 10/10 for me. Like I said before, there isnt much to explain for me, I guess its just the Beatles and these albums are the top for me. Some albums that were close but I dont see exactly as 10/10 are The White Album and Sgt Pepper. Edited November 6, 2019 by Bigbobby10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Magical Mystery Tour Blue Jay Way and Your Mother Should Know MUST be listened to together. Fantastic album. Abbey Road I Want You ( She's So Heavy ) is an incredible song. My fave from the album. The summer of 1971, I took a one month trip around the east coast in a van with my high school buddies. Abbey Road was played a lot. Great memories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will always remind me of James Walsh and Anthony Scerbo, two clowns who sat across from me and made me laugh all the time. Played that 1st side of the album to death. I loved MMT. :) Think I will listen to it today. :7up: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 MMT is an interesting choice. Blue Jay Way and Flying are both subpar Beatles' tunes, which keeps it from being flawless. Abbey Road is a no brainer. FWIW, I think both the white album and Sgt. Pepper are perfect albums. The white album, in particular. It's my favorite studio album ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be careful when I say flawless, because I really don't think an album can truly be flawless. But MMT is a 10/10 for me even though I wouldn't say flawless, I do agree about Blue Jay Way being kinda a dud, but the score stands for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointing out the weakness of Flying and BJW on a Beatles' album is a little like saying Cindy Crawford has a mole on her face. In the grand scheme of things, so f*cking what? :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Help! is underrated. Help! in fact was the album that really got me into The Beatles when I was in college. I knew their hits of course, and had started discovering their cooler "deep" tracks (deep being a relative term); then I heard Help! One great track after another, each one with great pop construction that really moved along briskly... IOW, a collection of really catchy rock/pop tunes. They weren't trying to be too deep or too complex, but rather they're more simple pop craft hit its apex. Rubber Soul and Revolver would get into slower, more complex writing (at times); Help! was all about having fun, but they were also REALLY good writers. I think if you're going to be a bar band playing catchy Beatles tunes, a good part of your covers are probably going to come from Hard Day's Night and Help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Abbey and Revolver are my two faves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 You don't rate the White Album or Sgt. Pepper's a 10/10, but I do. And to my ears Magical Mystery Tour and Abbey Road are 9/10. Differences in opinions can be razor thin. In the end, good music is good music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
