There is a lot to unpack with this album. It can be challenging to absorb an album that is so shrouded in myth. But if you see the album as just an album, it can become more palatable. Luckily, I’ve been listening to it on and off since I was young. (As a young girl I even named my dog Lucy after Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.)
All the songs are amazing except “Being for The Benefit of Mister Kite” and a token for later Beatles albums, a George sitar song, “Within You or Without You”. To keep this from getting any longer, essentially what makes this not only the best Beatles album, but a favorite album for many music nerds, is the amount and quality of storytelling. Even in the aforementioned songs, the entire album is full of songs that paint beautiful and detailed images. In addition, the album is masterfully produced. (Hats off to the late George Martin.)

The best way I can describe this album is rebellious, yet refined. Culturally aware lyrics along with the driving four piece band as well as a tight brass section really elevates it from any other punk record. [First added to this chart: 04/13/2018]

The combination of melodrama and playfulness in this album are not only what make it great, but also so uniquely English in spirit. “I Know It’s Over” is my favorite track, not only because it perfectly depicts pain of going through heartache but encourages growth with the simple yet powerful lyric “It takes strength to be gentle and kind.” This album truly is a gem.

One of the most diverse charts on the site. You provide a great personal perspective to your comments. I would recommend you try listening to Hip-Hop and expanding the list, but nonetheless this looks amazing
