The Jesus and Mary Chain, Psychocandy

The Beatles, Revolver

Yoko Ono, Fly

Slowdive, Pygmalion

Broadcast, The Noise Made by People

Revolver (1966)
The White Stripes (1999)
Sgt Pepper (1967)
Meddle (1971)
Deja Vu (1970)
Odyssey and Oracle (1968)
Hard Day's Night (1964)
Ram (1971)

Wish You Were Here (1974) <-- Badfinger, not Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd-Dark Side Of The Moon

Queen-A Day At The Races

Queen-A Night At The Opera

Those 3 Beatles albums are definitely more listened to by me than those other albums though.

6. Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti

7. The Beatles - Rubber Soul

8. The Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed

9. Rush - Moving Pictures

10. Spock's Beard - Snow

But there are MANY more albums just as meaningful to me that I had to leave off of this.

1) The Beatles - Abbey Road
2) The Beatles - The Beatles(white album)
3) Paul & Linda McCartney - RAM
4) Wings - Back to the Egg
5) Percy "Thrills" Thrillington - Thrillington
6) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic

9) Dr. John the Night Tripper - Gris Gris
10) The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

11) Revolver
12) Rubber Soul

I would add John's Mind Games to that list ^ and George's Brainwashed but good choices for your first solo albums. I can't really comment on Ringo's solo albums as I haven't really listened to them, I tried to listen to Liverpool 8 but I couldn't. Sorry Ringo
Edit: Why did I say Mind Games? I meant Walls and Bridges, I guess I was distracted I was watching A Hard Day's Night

Yeah  like your edit better!I listened to Walls and Bridges and ...]]> Tue, 07 May 2013 21:02:35 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/best-albums-of-the-solo-years/#p73700 The albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/best-albums-of-the-solo-years/#p73700

I agree with Plastic Ono Band, All Things Must Pass, and Ringo but you cannot neglect the best solo album of all time, Ram!

That is an incredibly fun album!

Not only that, it's also the best written and performed album any of them did post-1970 (although Plastic Ono Band, Band on the Run, and All Things Must Pass give it a run for its money).

I really love It don't come easy!

And same here, I've just dug into John and George's solo stuff and listened to some Wings, but I haven't really checked out most of Paul and Ringo's stuff yet.

I am a lifelong Beatles fan who just started seriously collecting the solo stuff over the past 3 or 4 years (since discovering this site, actually). It really is fun discovering their solo output for the first time.

This describes me too, exactly!

I'm looking to start buying the albums from the solo years, and right now I'm thinking about All Things Must Pass, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Band on the Run. Haven't really dug into Ringo's solo career. But what are your opinions, what is the best solo album for each Beatle.

The 3 you mentioned are a great place to start. I am a lifelong Beatles fan who just started seriously collecting the solo stuff over the past 3 or 4 years (since discovering this site, actually).

For John, I listened to Imagine first. Once its awesomeness soaked it, I listened to Plastic Ono Band. For Paul, I listened to Ram, then Band on the Run, then McCartney. Although McCartney gets some hate, I liked it.. Ram is my favorite, though. For George, I listened to ATMP, first, then George Harrison, then 33 and a third. As for Ringo.. Ringo. That's his 1973 album.

Paul: Ram, Band On The Run, and Tug of War

George: All Things Must Pass, and Living In The Material World

Ringo: Ringo, and Goodnight Vienna (Photograph is a pretty good compilation)
