girl is a song that feels universally relatable. i can tell you for certain i have never had an experience like that, but when i listen to the song, it makes me feel like ive lived it
rubber soul changed my life. it is the first Beatle album i’ve ever bought and i still get that same feeling after listening to it for 10+ years. i love other albums too, but this one is simply just perfect to me
I remember the first time I just looked at the album cover without listening to the music and I thought to myself. “Oh wow, I didn’t know that the Beatles were stoners!” This is by far my favorite album by them as this was the first time that they actually got to send time to write these beautiful songs
I don't think any Beatles album has a skip, duds? Yes. Run For Your Life is a dud. But do I skip it? Hell no. 🔥. I have fun with it. Ironically...my favorite album and what I consider their best has the ONLY skip I can think of which is Revolution 9 off the White Album.
Young dude, I was born in 1968 but around 10 years old I found my first Beatles album and I fell in love with them. However, Rubber Soul is my favorite album also. My favorite song of all Beatles albums is Norwegian Wood. I love the cover of this album also, but it was the album itself that I’ve been in love with every piece of it. I think it’s amazing what you speak of it because I agree completely!
help is not dizzy miss lizzy, it all started with help, help itself you've got to hide your love away i need you it's only love i've just seen a face ticket to ride YESTERDAY etc. rubber soul is similar to help, if i needed someone what goes on etc. sgt pepper forwards is bloody overrated peak beatles is help to revolver
I grew up in the middle of Beatlesmania in real time. My twin brother were minted in 1963 and being in a musical family, we were keenly aware of the Beatles from our toddler age. Our mam bought our dad a copy of Sgt Pepper which we commandeered. I still have possession of it! Sgt Pepper was massive and then Abbey Road and Let It Be. Our dad had already made reel to reel tape copies of their first 2 releases for us. My personal Sgt Pepper bias was really engrained from the age of 4-5 years old. Funny enough, I found a copy of Rubber Soul at a garage sale for nothing when I was about 10 yo. I could afford the $2 from my chores allowance. It was a glorious recording, but it was only the 2nd LP that was actually mine. I got Let It Be for Xmas previously. I still have that LP copy because it was my 2nd album in what would become a modest collection of around 300 LPs. Of course, my CD collection is way more robust at around 1600 CDs. Although I have settled on Revolver being my fav (Tomorrow Never Knows!) Rubber Soul is right up there. A band member, 9 years my senior, once told me his fav was Rubber Soul and I can truly understand how it is so revered in the entire Beatles canon. What an amazing creation that it is...
loved the video!! fantastic pacing and script, also loved the beatle quips at the end. Would love to see you cover more beatles albums and maybe some other greats like jimi hendrix or something
@@williamwade2674 Yes!! Usually i do a video on The Beatles once a week and then a second one about another artist so stay tuned!! Thanks so much for the comment
@@fermisparadox01 Your right rubber soul was basically John's last real effort in being the leader. Paul sort of slowly took over with revolver where his songs were just better overall and sgt peppers Paul esstinally took over.
@@fermisparadox01 True, I think. The credit honours were even on Beatles For Sale, but even there you could say that John's contributions were maybe stronger.
simple YES. Rubber soul is a great key album and to me also the most important, In my life, Nowhere man and Norwegian wood are such great numbers. It stands among my top albums, over Sgt Pepper and just below Revolver

Every album is at least good, an album wasn't an "album" before this one, I don't think it was on purpose, but they took note. Especially with the praise they received, also it's the first album that they became vulnerable lyric wise
Rubber Soul is my favorite Beatles album, although I disagree with a few of your takes here. First, I see the much-maligned Beatles For Sale as the truly seminal album regarding their glorious middle period. The difference between it and A Hard Day's Night is much starker than that between Help! and Rubber Soul. Rubber Soul may be where it all came together, but Beatles For Sale is where it started, where they stopped being just a rock and roll band and started reaching for something more serious. And this may have something to do with why it wasn't (and still isn't) all that well received. They were breaking new ground, and hadn't quite figured it all out yet. So I see Rubber Soul as the culmination of a trilogy of albums rather than the start of something new. And then with Revolver the sound would change again. I'm also not so sure that it's best to consider the four Beatles separately here. John and Paul were still very much writing together in this era. Perhaps not as much as during the Beatlemania days when they were physically together 24/7, but it was still very much a partnership, and they'd get together every afternoon for a writing session. Yes, we have the John songs and the Paul songs, but their partnership was always mostly about how they developed the songs. And they were still doing that in 1965. Really, it continued up until Yoko pulled John away. I tend to like the John songs the best on this album, but I know that there's a lot of Paul in them, just as there's a lot of John in the Paul songs.
Ok for the Rubber Soul Sessions the hits are Michelle, Girl, Norwegian Wood, Nowhere Man,Drive My Car, and In My Life on the Album, and the Single was double A Side Day Tripper and We Can Work It Out. Dude Wake Up!

I love Rubber Soul. It has some of the most intense Songs on it. "What goes on" is the worst beatles song and it is the biggest mistake to open side B with that terrible sounding song. Run for your life is terrible as well. A bit better.
I agree that's why revolver is the goat its so well rounded 360 degrees you could say it rolls away with the rock that actually changed rock and roll to rock

in my life really is one of the greatest songs ever made. john was such a songwriter
Co-written by Paul.
Piano solo composed by George Martin.
@@hansvandermeulen5515 Paul or session man Billy?

In My Life is '65.

yesterday is amazingly sophisticated. rubber soul is literally their last album i can genuinely listen to it without a single skip

@@AGETheGawdYT run for your life is a dud? i love that song
@@AGETheGawdYT i often think of ignoring yellow submarine love You to unless i commit myself to listen to the whole of revolver in a run
There's not a single weak song on that album. It is easily one of the best albums of all time.
And I agree it is also their most important.

Rubber Soul was the turning point album. When the movie went from black and white to color. It got really colorful by the time they got to Pepper.

John is the best of the 4 on this album in my opinion. I think they even knew that. He is the only one facing the listener on the album cover.
@@Reid-db3lr Yeah he was most likely the most vital member in this album
I always feel Rubber Soul was more John dominated album and Sgt Pepper's was a Paul dominated album, Revolver was the perfect blend
John was dominant on all Beatles albums up to this point.
@@fermisparadox01 Your right rubber soul was basically John's last real effort in being the leader.

It's true George played the sitar on Norwegian Wood, but what he did was find the notes that John was playing on the guitar and play along with him.

Excellent analysis - thank you! Have subscribed.
Rubber Soul is cool. Norwegian Wood & In My Life.

It’s my favorite. Both the British and US versions.
I find myself wanting to listen to something else halfway through the album even though I know it’s still really good
Ok for the Rubber Soul Sessions the hits are Michelle, Girl, Norwegian Wood, Nowhere Man,Drive My Car, and In My Life on the Album, and the Single was double A Side Day Tripper and We Can Work It Out. Dude Wake Up!
And to think they had to rush to record this album in time for Christmas
They worked best under pressure
@@kalani1987 Correct!! The album was recorded in a little over 4 weeks
Great record but something is off about certain tunes done in one or two takes
A lot of the experimentation on John's songs came from Paul.
No. Sgt Pepper is most important and best. It changed the world.

@@NoAntidoteMusic Yeah, not the most amazing album closer after such a great first half
I agree that's why revolver is the goat its so well rounded 360 degrees you could say it rolls away with the rock that actually changed rock and roll to rock
lol no what goes on and run for your life are better than abbey road and sgt pepper's all alone
Oh boy, you're so boring: "I LOVE the Beatles, BUT.... I LOVE McCartney, BUT...."
