The Beatles Bible - Topic: Strongest Beatle per album http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/strongest-beatle-per-album/ Simple:Press Version 5.2.6 meanmistermustard on Strongest Beatle per album http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/strongest-beatle-per-album/page-5/#p65556 The albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/strongest-beatle-per-album/page-5/#p65556 The US MMT was issued as there wasnt a market in America for EP's. Capitol got permission to add the remain '67 a and b sides to the British ep tracks for their own album. As for the rip-off of buying songs again well the US fans had been doing that since the start of '64.

Personally i dont like the album that much as many on side 1 arent that good.

I don't consider the US version of MMT a Beatles album. They just put a bunch of previously released songs at the end of the UK MMT, I guess so people could go out and buy something they only need half of, but have to pay for the whole thing anyways.

I usually just read posts and dont comment unless I feel like I can really contribute to the discussion with something meaningful. That said, I am always looking for the opinion of other true fans of The Beatles. As far as strongest Beatle per album, its hard to argue with the majority of what I saw. The one thing that stood out to me and wasnt really discussed was the overwhelming opinion for Paul as the strongest Beatle on Magical Mystery Tour.

With the Beatles: Lennon (this and for the former for the obvious reason)

A Hard Day's Night: Lennon, followed closely by McCartney with his three great early songs; but most of them were GREAT Lennon songs

Beatles for Sale: McCartney (I'll Follow the Sun is one of his best)

Help!: Lennon (he has more hits on this one, with Help!, You've Got to Hide Your Love Away (the best), You're Gonna Lose That Girl, and Ticket to Ride)

Rubber Soul: Lennon (three masterpieces in one overshadow McCartney's and Harrison's OK songs.

Glad to see at least one person agrees with me (see post 11 on page 1 of this thread).

"I'm gonna love her til the cows come home."

Oh, yeah, that I will agree is not their best moment.a-hard-days-night-john-2

I think in general I've been more forgiving of the lyrics in their earlier music as long as I've enjoyed the melody/beat.

Plus When I Get Home is notoriously weak

It's interesting to hear it has a reputation for being weak, because that's been one of my favorite songs on AHDN since childhood. I was so blown away by the spirited intro, and it always brings back good memories of bopping along to the cartoon singalong.

It's certainly a great rocker musically and I like the way it kicks in, but the lyrics are really banal and seem like a totally inferior and less interesting rewrite of the sentiments in AHDN: "I'm gonna love her til the ...]]> Sun, 30 Dec 2012 12:38:43 +0000 parlance on Strongest Beatle per album http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/strongest-beatle-per-album/page-4/#p61808 The albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/strongest-beatle-per-album/page-4/#p61808

Abbey Road: I'm tempted to say Paul because of the medley and stuff, but George came into his own so much at this point that I think I'd give it to George.

Absolutely agreed.
