well, 67-70 were their golden years

The Beatles are one group that really lends itself to a compilation.

 

To several, actually! I love this 1 as well:

This one features songs mashed together like medleys with bits of other songs linking them together or right in the middle. It's very like a live performance, very cleverly done by George Martin, as if they'd played say a one-off gig in 1970 as a farewell or something but without the crowd noise.

I voted for North American version of Rubber Soul - my first album.

The Beatles LOVE album is interesting, but it's a bit weird re-mixing the songs like that - changes them too much. I'm a big fan of remastering. Remixing, not so much. It's very well done, however.

LOVE simply presented The Beatles music in a new context. I never listen to it, the originals are all I need, but it was done in the right way.

I cant really pick a fave. At various times in my life I've said Sgt. Pepper, Revolver, Rubber Soul, and Abbey Road. The White album has alot of ok stuff but it's top 14 tracks (since most Beatles albums have 14 or so tracks) could be as good as anything theyve done. I love the vibe of MMT as a whole record but individually it's not their best work. I totally love Help! and I think it's as groundbreaking as anything theyve ever done for it's time, but you could say that about any of their first 4 albums too, I guess.

 

I suppose I could make an argument for or against any of their albums and I could talk about the good, the great and the not-so-great with any of their releases. I just like to enjoy their music and not really like to debate about it.

 

ok, so I decided to vote anyway and went with Rubber Soul. Couldda went with 4 or 5 others easily. Thought I'd give Rubber Soul some love.

I listened once. Fairly well done...isn't it a soundtrack to the show?

That's why I went with a flawless compilation. The blue, then the red. Cheating, I know.
