Just curious. I wanna know what the public thinks. I mean, Please Please Me is fun. It has harmonica on it! But Let It Be is just kinda relaxing, cool, and laid back-like.

'Let It Be' is a far superior tune, but I like to hear 'Please Please Me' more as I rarely hear it anymore.

Difficult to deem one or the other as 'better' - but I feel better when listening to 'PPM'. May be the tempo and overall energy, I suppose. But, really, it's apples and oranges to me. So different, those two.

"Let It Be" is a much more accomplished tune, but "Please Please Me" has the advantage in energy. Like Klang says, it's apples and oranges really.

Yes, very different types of songs. But I would go with Please Please Me.

Let It Be for me is the better song .

I think Please Please Me is a very upbeat, energetic song whereas Let It Be is rather depressing. As it should be considering The Beatles partnership ended by then. Therefore I prefer Please Please Me.

OH! And I forgot to mention that this is about the actual ALBUMS.
So now you may continue.

HAHHAHA! I guess we should have caught that being that this is in the album section of the forum!

I still go with Please Please Me....It is my favorite Beatle album.

Albums compared or songs, in a way I think about them the same way.

Let it Be is a finely crafted album (at best), appealing to the analytical left brain. PPM just reaches out and grabs the listener viscerally, hitting them before they know what happened ... a pure right brain phenomena.

Just my two cents!

Spier · « **Reply #11 on:** June 02, 2008, 07:54:53 PM »

Oh, it's about the albums. I should have realized that.

I stick to my earlier thoughts, the album Let It Be as a whole is depressing to me. This is not surprising as the sessions were considered the 'most miserable sessions on earth' by Lennon.
I think the raw energy of Please Please Me is infectious. A truly super debut album.

Let It Be has a few standout songs, but Please Please Me is more of a consistent album, I think.

wingsman · « **Reply #13 on:** June 03, 2008, 12:21:40 AM »

Why this question? Because they were both #2 hits? LOL
...because this is apples and oranges really... Anyway, I would say "Let it Be", without a doubt.

i thought i was getting confused!

well, i would go for Please Please Me, never been a great fan of the Let It Be album even
though there's some great songs on it. strange albums to compare these.

freakchic9 · « **Reply #15 on:** June 04, 2008, 09:47:25 PM »

Wow. I'm surprised no one saw this was the ALBUMS part of the forum.
You may continue.

Sorry, sometimes I just start clicking and reading and jump all around

This Boy · « **Reply #17 on:** June 13, 2008, 02:26:23 AM »

I really enjoy listening to Please Please Me more then Let it Be, but the thing is they didn't write almost half the songs on please please me. So I have to go with Let it Be just because it is all them.
