I always thought the AHDN album was overrated. Save for the title track, Can't Buy Me Love, And I Love Her and Tell Me Why, it sounds pretty mediocre to my ears. But that's just my opinion.

And I Love Her, I Should have known better, Tell me why, Hard days night, Cant buy me love, I'll be back, Any time at all,If I Fell on the same album?

?? I'd say not overrated, since people dont talk about it as thier best album alot, like Sgt Pepper is

Sgt. Pepper's is their best IMO

The Beatles (White Album)....this is the Beatles true masterpiece which defines them as one of the greatest rock bands of the 60's with great pop, rock, blues & folk tracks & a little avant garde.

the beatles at their prime

^I can't dis-agree with that. Rubber Soul and Revolver was the live peak for sure.

But, most remembered for? Hmmm, the debate continues. lol

Sorry, but I'm genuinely puzzled as to what a "live peak" is in reference to RS and Rev.

Rubber Soul was the perfection of their early style........so it's probably the best record to introduce people to the band with.

That being their last albums recorded whilst they were still touring as a band.
Sgt. Peppers being their first 'Studio' album. Even though, obviously they were all recorded in a studio.

I see. I must say, it's a funny thing to call two of their great studio albums, a 'live peak'. Oh well, we know what you meant now.

An Apple Beatle · « **Reply #30 on:** May 04, 2005, 04:02:48 PM »

Not necessarily that funny. Live peak makes perfect sense in relation to them being at their most experienced at playing live by the time of recording those albums.

Once the touring stopped with multi-tracking and experimenting coming into play, we all know how much their music changed.

Ydoll Gwyn · « **Reply #31 on:** May 04, 2005, 08:11:55 PM »

'Multi-tracking & experimenting' were evident in RS and burgeoning in Revolver. They didn't start 'multi-tracking and experimenting' when they finished touring, they were already well into them. THAT's one of the reasons that they stopped touring - their music had well outgrown three-guitars-and-drums!

An Apple Beatle · « **Reply #32 on:** May 04, 2005, 08:26:03 PM »

tut..Shred the words again. Serious multi-tracking...i.e. 8-track

It was just something not 'too in depth' to explain a little further about their 'live peak.'

An Apple Beatle · « **Reply #33 on:** May 04, 2005, 08:45:06 PM »

live peak i.e. before they became a studio band.

Although its hard to choose between the experimental breakthrough Rubber Soul or the ending of The Beatles legacy in Abbey Road I'd have to choose Abbey Road. Just for the simple fact that the songs on Abbey Road sound whole and on that album The Beatles where able to get away from the studio tricks and experimentation and just do what The Beatles where best at playing Rock and Roll.

Abbey Road they werent even a band really. Just Paul McCartney John Lennon and George harrison writing stuff and bringing it into the band and playing it.

hard days night...cause they were all so happy...pre-jesus comment

I'd have to go for Magical Mystery Tour. Superb album. What a quantum leap of creativity and imagination by the boys to include already released big hits with their b sides and a handful of unreleased stuff. I bet the marketing men were green with envy.
But I don't know why the Red and Blue albums aren't on the list, cos they're REALLY representative.

I think the Jesus Comment never really affected them as people or musicians.
