This is one of my go-to albums at the moment. I play it regularly. It's definitely a favourite.

It takes me just over an hour and a half to get to my Parents' house so I can listen to the whole album either on the way there or on the way home. And I visit my Parents a lot so this album gets big licks. I even love Don't Pass Me By ("You were in a car crash/And you lost your hair" cracks me up). And I almost never skip Revolution 9. It's fun.

Too many favourites but if I had to pick a few it would be: Happiness Is A Warm Gun, Dear Prudence, Julia and Blackbird. And Bungalow Bill and Mother Nature's Son. But I like em all.

And I have the 50th Anniversary version on CD. It sounds great. I think Giles Martin did a good job.

My life would be poorer without this album.

I sometimes think this album is overrated... and then I put it on and I'm always... amazed is the wrong word... but yeah, surprised I suppose at ever turn. Solid for sure.

I envy those not yet familiar with it. Then again, this album is a case of "familiarity breeds delight". Whatever the mood I'm in.

[DommeDamian]

Arguably the most innovative album in history. Everything from heavy metal, to jazz-rock, to experimental folk-rock, to thick balladry, started here...

[LebowskiRams]

Just started digging into this album the other day and I was blown away.

These are tremendous and groundbreaking for its time.

Also, show some love for Dear Prudence's bass line

[Lowkey]

Might be the best Beatles record, love how grandiose it feels

[Skinny]

It's a mess and less than half the songs are actually any good. Give me literally any prior Beatles record over this.
