What Is Your Favorite Beatles Album! | Page 5 | Fab forum

And your Teacher is delighted with the questions. Any other questions?

What a great and lively discussion! I agree with much of what was said, but here's my two cents. Mr. Sun King, while I agree with your overall point, I really think you're trying to classify art too much. The point about Pepper is that they were songs that couldn't be performed live, so therefore it most definitely would be considered a concept album because that is the theme and every song adheres to that theme. Tommy is a concept album because all the songs are based around this character Tommy, but that doesn't mean that every song must be about some character, like if every song were about Sgt. Pepper or something like that. It's art and it's abstract, and in that respect I would say it was their creative peak because no one could ever replicate that album, it is so completely unique. I don't think it's song for song their best album, heck it might not even be in the top 5, but as a complete album from start to finish it could be their best because of the creativity present in every single song.

BTW Guys, don't you feel like having a favorite album depending the season?

I do. The White Album Is my Christmas Album, so to speak. Abbey Road is for Summer, and Revolver is near my B-Day.

 I just had this picture of John dressed as Santa saying "Number 9… number 9…" LOL!!! Awesome!!!!

With the exception of Beatles For Sale (Fall -- and I realize that it's not exactly a subliminal choice) I can't think of another album that invokes a season. Songs, yes: I've Just Seen a Face, Dear Prudence, Strawberry Fields Forever, and Here Comes the Sun -- Spring; I Want You (She's So Heavy) -- Winter;  And Your Bird Can Sing, Good Day Sunshine, Magical Mystery Tour, Penny Lane -- Summer; Let It Be, Nowhere Man, In My Life and from BFS especially No Reply and I'm a Loser -- Fall

I could seriously think more about this, but I'll stop here in case anyone else wants to jump in.

I think someone should Start a Coffee Thread.
I need to listen to BFS Real soon

HGere Comes the Sun is my Winter song, (For hopefully obviouis reasons)

So going back to the whole Pepper discussion earlier in the thread, I really listened to it, FULLY. It is definitely an album where it has to be considered on a whole scale. The album is rather trippy, but we all know it. But it is brilliant. It flows well into each other. I always dismissed it because I thought that the songs were rather weak on its own. It reminds me of The Dark Side of the Moon. It all makes sense when you listen to all together.

Still wouldn't consider it a favorite, but I might move it above MMT. It is a stronger album. 

White Album still holds favorite status.
