Help! is one of my favorite albums. The only album I love more than Help is Sergeant Pepper. Totally cliche, I know.

I just now saw your post upthread. You described exactly how this album makes me feel.

I like Help, except for DML. I LOVE Act Naturally.

This is not one of my absolute favourite albums, but it certainly isn't a bad one

I don't think Help! is one of their best albums, but considering the circumstances and the albums before it, it's pretty good. The Beatles were potheads who had no interest in the movie. Every song that appeared in the movie was good. The songs on side two don't go together well. The songs on Rubber Soul have a flow to them, like a work of art. It's not a bad album, but Help! just doesn't give me that same feeling.

I agree with you on this one. I have always preferred the american version of the album with the George Martin instrumentals ...

Help! is probably the greatest album of pure unrelated pop songs. And with pop music you're not meant to scour the lyrics for intricate meanings or deep sophisticated music, its just music that makes , or is meant to make you listen with a massive grin on your face and a joy in your spirit.

There is an arguement that the Beatles had to move on because they had cornered the pure pop market, they had to move into more sophisticated melodies, harmonies and lyrics or they would rot like most bands do - reach a plateau and fail to progress. And ...

Help! is a great summary of why the Beatles are so great. Even though there are some weak songs on this album, those weak songs have great moments on them that make the rest of the song worthwhile. For example, on I need you, there's the melody of the "please come on back to see" line.

I can not understand why anyone doesn't like Dizzy Miss Lizzy...i know that in a way it's different from the other songs on Help! but i find it hilarious! Someone once said that the lead guitar of the song is really annoying...why? it makes me more excited and enthusiastic !

I like that song.

As do I - it might be a little longer than I would like it to be, but I do like it.

For me the song order of "Its Only Love, You Like Me Too Much, Tell Me What You See, I've Just Seen A Face, Yesterday" is up there with "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" thru to "I Will" on The White Album in terms of sheer unrelated song adulation. I dont there is another album with such a fabulous run of songs (Doctor Robert hinders Revolver's order).

(Obviously there is the Abbey Road medley which is nigh-on unbeatable but a good handful of those were recorded together with much pre-thought (Polythene Pam/Bathroom Window; Sun King/Mean Mister Mustard; Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight) and Golden Slumbers deliberately ...

McCartney played "The Night Before" for the first time ever in concert during last summer's tour. I've always enjoyed it, and it was a real shock (in the good sense of the word) to suddenly hear it live.

I quite like the Help! Album. Especially the title song, YGTHYLA and I've Just Seen A Face. I Need You is for me the weakest song on the album - it just bores me out and most of the time I skip that song. The Night Before and You Like Me Too Much are a bit boring as well.

For the pure shock value, I love to say that Help! is one of my faves; that's because to an American, the original Help! album is quite weak (as with A Hard Day's Night, Yellow Submarine).

The real Help! album is much, much stronger. On a desert island, I would be perfectly happy with it.

Even loved Dizzy Miss Lizzy from the first time I heard it. I've been playing those bass and guitar riffs ever since
