Beatles-Yes or No

[audiobill]

Which of their albums are the "must haves"? Thanks.

I'd start with the following in chrono order:

Meet the Beatles
Rubber Soul
Revolver
Sgnt Pepper's...
The White Album (my all-time fave of theirs)
Abbey Road
and Let It Be

FA -- buy them all -- if any band deserves it they do -- don't think twice -- just go into the store and buy all of the ones on the list above.

Enjoy & let us know what you decide

PS., I have the first gen CDs and they sound quite good to these ears

Hi Jim,

I expected that. I read the whole lot through this morning (still a bit hazy from a little session last night).
Some great points argued, and I have listen (had to) often when my wife is on a Beatles trip.
Her favourites are the White Album, Rubber Soul and Abbey Road but they just do not talk to me. Figure in the hype and the often mentioned historic importance and it doesn't come together in my head. Maybe you had indeed to be there, or had to experience the pre-Beatles musical landscape.
Well we like what we like. And as I have said in my original post I have never questioned the historic and influencial importance and for that I certainly think they deserve the accolades, but I was talking about the music and since I don't get that.....
I guess the crux of the matter for me is the so often displayed inhability, of the Beatles base, to accept that somebody might not be crazy about the fab fours musical output.
Take any other artist and you will not get that sort of a reaction.

Peace

Bernd

Only owned one Beatles album, Meet the Beatles, and rarely ever played it. Their work just never appealed to me at any level.
