Too many John's songs, I know. And I could have made a list with a better order, but I didn't take the work.

well honestly i was trying to pull a fast one here and keep the artistic integrity intact yet try to pull a coherent and cohesive selection of songs out of those two albums which are very closely related. the truth being is that you could close your eyes and not fail in any case, besides i like nowhere man just for the sound effects and the gentle lyrics, even though there is clearly a distinct rumbling going on after the show is over and you strip away the several layers of direct and not quite so indirect meanings and interpretations. also not to have I'm Only Sleeping on this set of songs, collection of songs and this album would be totally criminal. i also thought of trying to fit Yellow Submarine in there even though i knew it was a lost cause, i would have had to rearrange, recombinate, repermutate and re-order the album from top to bottom, giving it an entirely different foundation and giving it an entirely different flavor. as you may have noticed i made the standard Lennon and McCartney pulls leaving almost without exception a strong Harrison track to contend with. it is by this type of methodology that i chanced upon the similarity between The Void aka tomorrow never knows and love you to and i want to tell you, besides the warm and progressive chord changes that accompany that track. otherwise it would have been standard beatles stuff, one has guitar, one has piano, george is singing this, john is singing that, the drums sound neat, etc. hope that makes any sense there nimrod.

Sorry, but I don't consider these similar albums at all.
-
Here is a great site to compare the them. http://beatlesbattle.com (http://beatlesbattle.com)
Many people assume Revolver is a little better than RS, but are surprised at how even they are once they vote using this system because it takes into account if you like a song a lot more or just a little more for each match up.

Didn't see this before now. It is a nice thing to consider. I'll go with seven tracks per side likewise...
Side One:
1. Taxman
2. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
3. For No One
4. I'm Looking Through You
5. She Said She Said
6. In My Life
7. I Want To Tell You
Side Two:
1. The Word
2. I'm Only Sleeping
3. If I Needed Someone
4. You Won't See Me
5. And Your Bird Can Sing
6. Nowhere Man
7. Tomorrow Never Knows
Liner notes:
What a difficult exercise. I have always leaned a bit towards RS as a personal fave. There are more tracks there that I crave hearing more than on the other. Both represent their best work, IMO.
This is a 'personal choice' album. If it were programmed for the masses I'd say Ringo would have to be represented, so let's say 'Yellow Submarine' in place of 'For No One'.
'Taxman' is such a classic opener. Conversely, how could 'Tomorrow Never Knows' not be the closer?
Again, not an easy tasks leaving out so many great ones. So, looks like a follow-up album is in order, mucho pronto.

Rubber Soul and Revolver are pretty much my favorite Beatles albums, so this was hard. I hate not including 'Michelle', 'Girl', 'She Said She Said', 'And Your Bird Can Sing' and 'Got To Get You Into My Life'.

Yeah, Nim, I suppose you're correct about the "cheating" thing, he says sheepishly (but not really too worried because it does make for a fantastic double LP!). ;D

I tried this once before when someone else started a thread about it elsewhere after being inspired by George's comment that he saw them both as part of the same album. I just don't see it. Revolver just seemed a lot different in a lot of ways to Rubber Soul which, despite the minor changes in the use of Sitar and more important changes in the more creative lyrics, just seem to be a continuation of the album creation process that they'd employed until then. Revolver was radically different plus Geoff Emerick had arrived then. Basically the sound and feel of the songs on these two albums just don't fit well together so I couldn't do a fantasy complilation.
