And I think no other album represents the Moptop Lyricist Trinity better than their seminal 1969 album 'Abbey Road', where the Fab Four for once put their differences aside to record a farewell worthy of their legacy —even though they later decided to complete and release 'Let It Be', a not-so-great but still decent farewell. And what better way to culminate the story of one of the most influential and iconic artists of all time than with this little rock number aptly titled 'The End', which works as a little epitaph for the band. And it's in that song, when Paul, George and John begin to jam, that you can see how brilliant they were. Not because of their technical skills, because the Beatles were never about virtuosity. But it's rather because of their ability to complement each other that they were so great. Even though each solo showcased how fundamentally different their personalities are, the whole thing flowed so beautifully. They saw each other's ideas and took it to the next level. John's last solo gives way to a last sentence sung in their trademark vocal harmony fashion, 'And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make', a final statement that perfectly captures their message and essence. And with George Harrison's final solo, the Fab Four announce their end, and with them, the end of an entire decade."  [+]  Reply

Everything you'd want in an album is here: The perfect ballads ("Here, There And Everywhere" and "For No One"), the perfect rockers ("Taxman", "She Said She Said" and "And Your Bird Can Sing"), brilliant psychedelia ("I'm Only Sleeping", "She Said She Said" (again) and "Tomorrow Never Knows") and even a pinch of world music ("Love You To"). It's got a it's fair share of serious tracks ("Eleanor Rigby" and "For No One") and it's fair share of fun tracks to counter the serious tracks ("Yellow Submarine", "Good Day Sunshine" and "Got To Get You Into My Life"). The album shows the Beatles at their creative peak, constantly trying to find new things never done in pop and rock. New production tricks and new genres, styles and instruments to blend in to popular music. The album also shows every single Beatle at their best, before the feuding began and slowly tore to group apart. The album changed popular music forever, and is one of the most groundbreaking albums of all time. That's why I think it's the greatest album ever. Oh, and it's also got the coolest fucking album cover ever."  [+]  Reply

The Beatles experimentation with the recording process was something that hit a definite high point on this album. This process was something no bands had the rescourses to do at the time(with the exception of the beach boys). They had money, time away from touring, and a long track record of success that made an experiment like this viable financially. That being said, an understanding of ANY work of popular music since is informed by a thorough listen to this album. Everything from the big breaks in the norm that punk brought in the 70s, to the dedication to experimentation that electronic music brought in the 90s, the Beatles Sgt. Pepper album has had a hand in every major change in the scene of popular music since its creation. This album can be hard to appreciate, The Beatles have a reputation and track record that is universally easy to understand and fall in love with. This album is IMHO the only exception. They werent going for chart topper (although it was the best selling album of the 60s i believe) they were going for world changing. So while Revolver might be easier to digest, or abbey road may have more hits, Sgt. Pepper stands as The Beatles Largest contribution to popular music What makes this album great is it sounds hyper-contemporary. It sounds not only new but truly outside of the sounds, composition styles, production and themes that we expect from popular music. 10/10"  [+]  Reply

From gorgeous songs like 'while my guitar gently weeps' and 'blackbird', to just great songs like 'happiness is a warm gun' and 'im so tired', to hard rock (for the time) like 'helter skelter' and 'birthday', to blues jams like 'why dont we do it in the road' and 'yer blues', to folk-bluesy story telling like 'rock raccoon' and '... bungalo bill', to extended experimentals like 'revolution 9', to whatever the hell 'piggies' is. Thats a lot of grund covered in one album, and they managed to do each of these disparate genres wonderfully. This is the kind of album where a good song from some genre like "gregorian chant" wouldnt feel terribly out of place, and the beatles would probably do it well. "  [+]  Reply

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". The compositions, songwriting, the emotions, the singing... just top-notch. Some of the songs even at their most simplest, really do have a long-term emotional and transfixing effect on me. Not that the two above mentioned albums aren't great or anything but this one is something that I prefer. The fact is, The Beatles are just perfection. Their music is the best kind and there never was, is or will be any other ingenious artists like them. My favorite songs from this album are: 1. In My Life 2. Norwegian Wood 3. Michelle"  [+]  Reply

Although glued together from some singles, and the film's soundtrack, Magical Mystery tour holds together. Although psychedelic like Sgt. Pepper's, Mystery Tour relies less on narrative and more on atmosphere. The heavy instrumentation of Strawberry Fields Forever, the druggy layers on Blue Jay Way. Even the straightforward ballads feel more put together than usual for a Beatles' LP. (Your Mother Should Know, Fool on the Hill). Even the title track (a less successful version of Sgt. Pepper's opener) and Flying (a simple instrumental) are solid. But when this album is good its amazing. Strawberry Fields, All you Need is Love, and I am a Walrus are not only some of the Beatles' best, but some of the greatest songs of all time. P.S. I would recommend any Beatles fan get this record on vinyl. It comes with a large and gorgeous twenty page picture book."  [+]  Reply

It features their two singles up to that point, love me do and the title track. The other standouts from Lennon-McCartney are the rollicking opener, I saw her standing there and the beautiful and overlooked ask me why. The best of the covers is Lennon's take on Arthur Alexander's anna(go to him) and off course the gritty take on twist and shout, recorded at the very end of that mammoth session. The album really has the sound of Hamburg and the cavern all over it. A very, very good start. I wonder whatever happened to them. "  [+]  Reply
