Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

CD-Charts > Music > Psychedelic Rock
by: The Beatles

Release Date 1987
This album is super sweet. I can listen to "Lovely Rita" over and over again. The only song that is kind of a bummer is "When I'm Sixty-Four". The only reason that I put what I did as my title is that many people think that this is the greatest record ever made, well I have news for them. The "White Album", "Rubber Soul", "Revolver", just to name a few. If you don't already own this, what are you waiting for, get it today.

Abbey Road

CD-Charts > Music > Psychedelic Rock
by: The Beatles

Release Date October 25, 1990
So it occured to me one day that I didn't own a single Beatles CD. Can you even believe it? Arguably the best band in all of rock and roll and not even a greatest hits on my shelf.

Since I'm a tad obsessive when it comes to stuff, I decided I didn't want any run of the mill Best Of, but instead wanted to go through and buy the albums from these boys the way they were originally sent out, so I decided I'd start with the albums that were what many considered to be innovative and the ones I knew I always wanted but never got.

Now my first impulse was to buy "the white album" but upon closer inspection I realized I wanted Revolver and Abbey Road first. And this week we have been playing this little gem on and off. I

The Beatles 1

CD-Charts > Music > Psychedelic Rock
by: The Beatles

Release Date November 14, 2000
This is a wonderful collection of twenty-seven of The Beatles most popular songs all of which reached number one in both the UK and the USA. Spanning the years 1962 (LOVE ME DO) to 1970 THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD this is a great album to introduce younger music lovers to THE BEATLES music as well as to ignite the memories of baby boomers. A short booklet with pictures of original record covers as well as the date each song was recorded and the dates that song was number one in the US and UK is included.

The Beatles (The White Album)

CD-Charts > Music > Psychedelic Rock
by: The Beatles

Release Date October 25, 1990
Although I tend to prefer The Beatle's earlier work, this album is one of their best in my opinion. Double CD and all the songs are great. Worth every penny! You really can't go wrong with any Beatle album.

Rubber Soul

Release Date October 25, 1990
I was amazed to find a couple of songs on here that I didn't remember. This has a lot of my favorites. If you are a Beatle fan, I would definately recommend 'Rubber Soul'.

Dark Side Of The Moon

CD-Charts > Music > Psychedelic Rock
by: Pink Floyd

Release Date October 25, 1990
If I were to be allowed five albums for the rest of my life, this would be at the top of the list. Just had to replace a missing album, and actually, as cheap as this was I think I'll keep buying CDs from Amazon. This one can never leave my collection, and if it does I'll have a replacement faster than you can say Pink Floyd.

Revolver [UK]

CD-Charts > Music > Psychedelic Rock
by: The Beatles

Release Date October 25, 1990
What do I love about this album? The opening coughs and the countout "one, two, three, four, one, two" - a dirty way to start a Beatles album - aren't they supposed to be those clean-cut lads from Liverpool? It's the first clue that this is going to be a different journey than we expected. The witty George Harrison, tongue-in-cheek, with a song that vocalizes a universal suspicion that our money is being unfairly commandeered by the government, a sentiment that resonates more strongly as I've gotten older.
What else do I love? the lovely vocal harmony and the strings on Eleanor Rigby. The striking images painted by Paul. So original - name any song that even comes close to sounding like it. Love the way it ends - like in "Amadeus" the song ends when it's supposed ... Read More:

Love

CD-Charts > Music > Psychedelic Rock
by: The Beatles

Release Date November 21, 2006
I'm a huge Beatles fan (as my screen name suggests!), and I refused to listen to this CD until now. I'm a purist when it comes to the Beatles -- no covers, no remixes, no muzak arrangements, no alt-rock interpretations, thankyouverymuch. Just the originals. But my curiosity finally got the best of me, so I ordered a copy (truth be told, I just wanted to bring my order amount up to the free shipping minimum), and now I regret I didn't buy this sooner. George and Giles Martin have done a fantastic job remixing these Beatles classics. There are some really interesting pairings -- pieces of "Drive My Car" coupled with "The Word?" And it works -- beautifully. It will never take the place of the originals for me -- I don't think George Martin intended it to -- but for me, it was ... Read More:

I have always loved this album. So underrated. So many Beatle albums are good, this one is great. I could listen to this forever, and trust me, I will.

Let It Be

CD-Charts > Music > Psychedelic Rock
by: The Beatles

Release Date October 25, 1990
The fact that LET IT BE is considered a fiasco, says rather a lot about what standards we're accustomed to by the Beatles. Many bands would have been proud of themselves presenting something like this. But I guess after SGT PEPPER and all the other albums this doesn't impress much.
The title track, "The long and winding road", "Across the universe" and "Get back" are all classics. And the other songs are not too bad either, even if some of the performances sound a bit like outtakes.
LET IT BE was the last album the Beatles finished recording and maybe it was wise to end while still being able to put together classic songs.
