Rubber Soul or The White Album.  

[Mean_Mr_Mustard]

But dude, don't you think he's probably heard most of the songs from AHDN and Rubber Soul? Those are the songs they ALWAYS play on the radio. With the exeptions of Think For Yourself, It's Only Love and Wait.

I live in the Los Angeles area. Burbank. And they play the Beatles a lot. We've got a few classic rock stations and this new one called Jack that plays old and new music and they play the Beatles too. Then a couple of stations including one that's usually a talk station during the week have Breakfast With the Beatles type shows on the weekend. Beatles A-Z and so on. So if you listen, you'll hear a lot of Beatles. And it's usually earlyish Beatles. With of course the same five or six late Beatles songs like Let It Be, Hey Jude or Come Together. Now when I go to Phoenix to visit my family(why they moved there is beyond me), they NEVER play the Beatles. For some reason the DO play a lot of Elton John though. Weird how each city differs.

You live in a real city where there aren't a handful of corporate owned stations. Its not the case for most of us.

Yep here its Revolution or Come Together. I guess The Beatles arent considered Classic Rock, But the Rolling Stones are.

I own

Revolver
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Abbey Road
The Capitol Albums vol. 1 box set

Right now I'm leaning towards The White Album for length and what I have heard is phenomenal but I wanted a more expierienced fans opinion.

Beatles For Sale  
It will give you an instant photo of what the guys were musically. The album that  resumes their sense. The Birth of a lot of things. Past and present (their present, of course) and some of the future.

I just listened to all of A Hard Days Night for the first time in a while and every song on it is great. Definatly get this soon too. You need to get them all!

I've been meaning to get that one, too!

All I've heard from BFS is Babys In Black an I'm A Loser, which I loved.

Not Eight Days A Week? I just recently got Beatles For Sale, the first time I listened to it to be honest I was a little disapointed but by my 3rd or 4th listen I was enjoying every song on the album. It's definatly a good album to get

You can't really go wrong. I was a bit too careful when buying their albums because of the songs I hadn't heard but to be honest ALL of the songs and ALL of the albums are great. Judging by your albums so far, I'd go with the white album. But honestly they all have something special. There is no such thing as a bad beatles album.

I'm very glad you enjoy Beatles For Sale. I think it's their "forgotten good album".

i'd suggest stepping back at this point and experience some of the early stuff- to see how the beatles were just blasting everyone out of the water- "please please me", "meet the beatles", "hard day's night", and YES, "beatles for sale".  THEN, jump in and experience the WA.

[sregis]

Couldn't agree more: I do that every week!!!

[raxo]

it's an interesting experience, is it not?

[sregis]

ok, maybe not a year

[Mean_Mr_Mustard]

Its like two different bands between the era's. But they are both the best.

[raxo]

Only TWO different bands?  

[Mean_Mr_Mustard]

Ill group 63-65 together and 66 on together :p

But I know what you mean.. Even within the CDs it sounds like two different bands. (Paul songs, John songs, George Songs.. Ringo song or two :p)
