Long long long is one of the most passionate and beautiful songs I’ve ever heard on one of the best albums I’ve ever heard. Excellent video man. It was a fast 37 minutes for me!
The Beatles came to America two weeks after my twelfth birthday. I bought all the Beatles records as they were released but reached the saturation point in the '70s. I sold all my Beatle albums (including a butcher cover paste over for $4). The only album I had for four decades was the Beatles live in Hamburg double LP because it rocked. Lately I've bought all of them again and love 'em.
I agree with almost all the placings, except I would switch the White album with Revolver. It just blew my mind like nothing before or since. Love from the UK.
I was born in 1969 but had older siblings who had several Beatles albums, I listened to their music all the time growing up. Over 50 years later I still listen to them all the time.
Hello, good choice! Mine is 1. The Beatles 2. Rubber Soul 3. Sgt. Pepper's 4. Revolver 5. Abbey Road 6. A Hard Day's Night 7. With The Beatles 8. Beatles For Sale 9. Help! 10. Magical Mystery Tour 11. Let It Be 12. Please Please Me
@@joelarvizu8816 you know Joe, I just can't put something lower than Please Please Me. Great album no doubt. But both With The Beatles and Beatles For Sale are my favourite "weak" albums, so there is my top 😀
Very hard to rank albums that are such a big part of our lives. I, personally, would not rank the White Album this high, but, again, this is not only about personal taste but also about what was going on in our lives at the time of each release. My number 1 is Revolver, but just my opinion.
Ranking my own collection: 1. Revolver 2. Rubber Soul 3. Abbey Road 4. White Album 5. Please Please Me 6. Help! 7. Magical Mystery 8. Sgt Pepper 9. Something New 10. With The Beatles 11. Let it Be 12. Yellow Submarine
If you're going to compare The Stones to The Beatles, you have to compare the 60's work only. It's not an equal comparison if you compare the bands out of their time sync.
Hmmm...but if you don't count Roling Stones 70s albums, they will quickly lose an edge. I would argue that Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street are the their best work to date.
Also; The Rolling Stones had to conquer a changing of times. That does make it a different comparison. I think comparing The Beatles and The Stones really shows how uncomparable music is.
I’ve been listening to them since 2012 when I was nine and I got into them in the fourth grade. My ranking of the 12 albums 12. With the Beatles 11. Beatles for Sale 10. Please Please Me 9. A Hard Days Night 8. Magical Mystery Tour 7. Abbey Road 6. Help 5. Let it Be 4. Rubber Soul 3. Revolver 2. The White Album 1. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
Capitol records were at times executive mess ups when it came to Beatles albums until Sgt Peppers came out and they did a great job of creating Magical Mystery Tour and the Beatles 65 by adding a nice amount of reverb ..I Feel Fine is far better than the original British EMI version
Love the White Album. I think Magical Mystery Tour is better than Sgt. Pepper (would have made a great double album, or put Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields on Sgt Pepper).
Yes. Imagine Sgt Pepper, with Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane on it! To my ear, 'I Am The Walrus' and 'Your Mother Should Know' by themselves raise Magical Mystery Tour to classic status - John and Paul at their unique, brilliant, best. As just a two-track album, it would still rank close to the top. 🙂
Is this a personal choice ranking or album vs album ranking? Because I think Let it Be is a lesser album than Sgt. Pepper but I’d rather listen to Let it Be any day.
Great work. I respect what you did, but i just have a personal policy not to trust anyone who puts that album (no spoilers) at number one lol. Imo there are so many mediocre or just bad songs that it amazes me that anyone would call that even a good album. To me, albums should be ranked by how good it is to listen to all the way through, and this just doesn't do it for me. But again, to each their own, and i love the video. This is a hard task. Good job.
Baby It's You is also a big favourite of mine. I have always thought Lennon's vocal on that song is immaculate. It could be his best vocal performance. I've said that before to other Beatlemaniacs and was shouted down. Certainly his best vocal for me of the first 4 albums. I could easily be persuaded he has better vocal performances on later albums. But I'm struggling to think of one off the top of my head. I know twist and shout is great.
Ranking Beatles albums is virtually impossible, but I deliberately paused the video after number five with the 'obvious four' still left to rank. I thought seriously for a good five or ten minutes before deciding the ranking would be (from 4 to 1): White Album, Sgt Pepper, Revolver, and Abbey Road...lol. How do we rank Beatles albums? Is it listenability to modern ears? Is it overall cultural significance? Is it 'shock and awe' at the time of release? And what constitutes 'excellence in an album', vs 'excellence in a collection of songs'? On those criteria (respectively), the number one album could potentially have been Abbey Road / Sgt Pepper / Revolver / White Album. And I thought, strategically, that 'listenability' would likely win the day. The White Album has always been a dark horse, always criticized for being a haphazard collection of songs, but so clearly a fireworks display of creativity, combined with brilliant studio excellence (George Martin is never praised enough). So although I thought the White Album might (conventionally) come in as number four, I'm quite happy with it being chosen as number one. 🙂 My only real argument is with Revolver being at number four. To me that album was the single biggest 'giant step' in The Beatles' discography, and for that reason I think it deserved a higher rating. As a teenager in 1966 I remember listening to it for the first time in silent awe, as representing something totally new and game-changing. Subsequent albums were always impressive, but Revolver shocked like no other (maybe it was George Martins's input?). After Revolver, anything could happen. It's hard to hear it that way now, but it still strikes me as pristine, a diamond - actually not all that dissimilar to the White Album in production feel, if perhaps slightly dated in comparison. So, three cheers for the White Album, always underrated, and a dazzling display of The Beatles' prodigious and inexhaustible talent, originality, versatility, and studio discipline. And perhaps it's time for history to start seriously including George Martin as an implicit, if unofficial, Beatle as well. 🙂
I think the best are Revolver, White and Abbey Road. Sgt Peppers unfortunately seems overrated to me today and I think Let It Be is better than some of their first albums. Let it be naked has interesting things like the solo in the main song.
Sorry, cannot agree with someone who is half my age. Top 3 for me would be, 1. Tie between Revolver and Rubber Soul...2. Abbey Road....3. Meet the Beatles. Sometime you just had to have lived it to know it.
You’d better get used to it because in a couple of years people my age will be the ones who will have to keep the memory of The Beatles alive. I have no idea why age would be relevant in loving music.
@@top5records796 I would have cut it all down to a single: Within You Without You/Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite but I realize that this is a highly unorthodox take.
