Does anybody agree with me that Revolver, Rubber Soul, and Magical Mystery were better than Sgt. Pepper?

I'd be willing to along with Revolver, and maybe Rubber Soul depending on my mood...but certainly not Magical Mystery Tour.

I'm the original 60's man. I became a teenager in 1960 and grew up through that wonderful decade when music was really born. Prior to that we had stuff like Perry Como and Frank Sinatra but as soon as the Beatles arrived the music scene exploded. I loved the Beatles and was lucky enough to see them play and meet them. I've never seen anyone better. I still play in a 1960's Rock and Roll Showband even though I'm 60 in January. We play pure live music with three guitars drums and a vocalist playing only music from that era.We don't use backing tracks or light shows just pure music as it was then. Living in England I liked all the British bands, Hermans Hermits, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Dave Clark Five, Dave Dee and so on  plus the Beach Boys and Four Seasons. The Shadows were the best instrumental group and backed Cliff Richard. Elvis was OK I suppose but not my cup of tea really. Also Dusty Springfield, The Drifters, Bob Dylan, Electric Light Orchestra, I could go on forever. Wonderful, magical days. Listen to Sergeant Pepper by the Beatles, that says it all.

they all have different styles, so it would be hard to decide, it is a pointless argument, kinda like, which is a better song, Kashmir or Purple Haze

Most people would say No as to the Who.  The Who were better than the Dave Clark Five, but still . . .  \n\nIn the 70s the long standing debate was between the Rolling Stones and the Beatles.  People would duke it out about that one.\n\nBrian Wilson wrote some amazing songs, though the beatles catalog overall is better than the Beach Boys.  The Beatles had amazing talent in Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison.  Brian Wilson had to do it all by himself, he pushed the envelope.

No other musical act has changed the face of popular music more than the Beatles. They were the first to record a whole album of their own songs, they were the first to use liner notes in their albums, their studio work was unparalleled at the time. They used backwards guitar, feedback, changed the speed of different tracks in order to produce different sounds (just listen to Sgt. Pepper's) The Beatles will always be the gold standard for every musician to look up to. Quite simply, YES, I like the Beatles.

That's a pretty good one, but I think John Lennon is better. It's not that I know it for a fact, but I bet more people would think so just due to name recognition.

Ya know, as a child of the 70's, I really thought the 1980's were a dry spell, creatively speaking.\nSure, there were some pretty good one-hit wonders, but overall, there were no 'Beatles' or 'Rolling Stones' coming out of that era.\nNo...not until I heard the opening guitar line to "Where the Streets Have No Name" that I took notice to something that others had already picked up on.\nAnd then it hit me: POW! \nU2's "The Joshua Tree" WAS (to me) the Sgt. Pepper of the 1980's...the pinnacle of musical excellence for that decade.\nI still listen to that album and it still sends shivers down my spine.\nIt rocks, it rolls and it has messages that still are relevant today.

No.Rammstein is better.

I was nuts about the beatles for a long long time so this one's easy for me.\n\n10. 'If I Fell'\none of their purest of love songs showcasing their softer side....simple yet the harmonizing of John over Paul's lead vocal was classic.\n\n9. 'I Want to Hold Your Hand'\nThis was their breakout hit that caused the entire 'beatlemania' phenomenon in early 63'.\n\n8. 'You've Got to Hide Your Love Away'\nTiring of their proven formula and influenced by Bob Dylan and lots of pot, John sat down and wrote this one night while with Bob in his hotel room.  The highly introspective lyrics showed the start of something very different for all of them.\n\n7. 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'\nThe opening title track to what was to become one of the most influential albums in rock history ranked with Beach Boy's 'Pet Sounds' and Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'.\n\n6. 'Here Comes the Sun'/ 'Something'\nGeorge's 2 contributions to Abbey Road, what I think to be 2 of George's best songs (While my Guitar...is close behind). Here comes the sun is simple yet infectiously catchy. Something is one of his best love songs.\n\n5. 'Yesterday'\nThe Beatles #1 most requested song of all time and Paul's solo vocal debut. This song has been covered by everyone from 'Boys to Men' to 'James Taylor'. \n\n4. 'Free as A Bird'\n20 some odd years after John's death the remaining 3 used current technology to bring one of John's demo recordings to life. 1 of 2 compositions that would ultimately prove to be the last studio record with the entire group, as George passes away 4 years later. You listen to it and it still sounds like the 4 of them together just like in the old days.\n\n3. 'The End'\nWith Abbey Road the beatles knew it would be their last album as a band and 'The End' was the closing track on the album. A song reminicent of the old days but with a more carefree and united feeling it was sort of a last hurrah. The closing lyric by Paul is timeless..."In the end, the love you make is equal to the love you take."\n\n2. 'Blackbird'\nMy personal favorite, this is one of the songs I requested to be played at my funeral...simple, sad, yet uplifting just the same.\n\n1. 'Let it Be'\nThis was to become the beatles swan-song. Released after the break up, it was a brilliant song written by paul. The fans took it as a parting message of hope, love, fun, and gratitude...which was what the entire beatles phenomenon was all about.\n\nHonorable Mention: 'Hey Jude'- Another of my favs., a great party song I always play if I see a piano...\nNaa Naaa Naaaa Na Na Na Naaaaaa Heeeey Jude!\n\nPS I'd have to say that Paul is my favorite beatle just for the simple fact that the group would have broken up far earlier if it wasn't for him keeping the band together for as long as he did.\nOh and Cbirdy, what album is 'Uncle Albert' off of??

Pseudo Echo's remake of Funkytown is much better than the original.\n\nFYI

Revolver.\n\nIt's the next to last song.\nThat's my favorite Beatles album, too!

Bob Seger's Turn the Page is so classic, 'Tallica did a pretty fair version, but I'm sort of loyal to the one who made it famous first.\n\nBob and the Silver Bullets can tear down, love a lot of his stuff - the epitome of classic rock.\n\nFeeling the need to hear some now, and am stuck at work BUGGER!

I love Jack Johnson.  The only band whose lyrics can compare is probably Muse.  They both have interesting insights into human nature.  Gotta love it.  And if you don't know Muse, you should check them out.

I think that all four beatles are behind the success of the band.\nOnce their split up , they were "maintained" on their earlier success.

rage against the machine is better\n\n:> peace\n.

hmm...that would be interesting no doubt. but it would be pretty much completely against the whole beatle idealogy, and too conservative pop-like for metallica.  somehow, i just cant see john lennon headbanging, you know?
