Luckily, you don't find Act Naturally on Rubber Soul. That song was on Help!

My 3rd favorite Beatles album after Pepper and Revolver.

It was an incredibly huge influence in the end of 1965...

There are so many brilliant songs on it - Drive my car, I'm looking through you, Nowhere man, Michelle, Girl, In my life, If I needed someone, Norwegian wood. There are only two songs I don't like that much-Act Naturally and Run for your life.

though I don't believe this is as similar to Revolver as George once said (Rubber Soul was like the A-side of Revolver he said)

Without Rubber Soul there never would have been a Pet Sounds. Without Pet Sounds there would be no Sgt. Peppers. Every song on it is at least very good, if not a classic.

My personal favorite track is 2 1/2 minutes of musical perfection.

One of my friends says that this album is homely. Yes, the turning point in the Fab Four's career. Rubber Soul was done quickly and studio on the last day, Lennon made a song Girl, and McCartney song You Won´t See Me. �'�

Don't give up so easily. This album is a good album the songs are all at least decent. Some of them are better than that. Norwegian Wood, Nowhere Man and In My Life are all really good. It is in my 60s chart at number 31.

Yes, I find every song from Drive My Car to Run For Your Life very good. But I won't be the idiot that tries to convince other people that his taste in music is the best!

Meeeeeehhhh

The songwriting on this (for the most part) is somehow more dated than their older stuff. I think I'd rank about 8 of their albums above this.

"Nowhere Man" is amazing though.

Under 36 minutes long and 14 different tracks. How can that be boring when the songs are well-written and very catchy?

Well yes, but when every song sounds the same and they're all mind-numbingly repetitive...

my second favorite Beatles album, behind Revolver, and just before Hard Day's Night and Sgt. Pepper's.

I bought this album (I think it was my third Beatles album) because so many people I knew recommended it.

I don't.

I always liked this one 😄 Better than the White Album & Revolver imo. Norwegian Wood has always been one of my favourite songs ever.
