i do agree that the leap from help! to rubber soul is huge.i always consider the jump from help! to r.s as being more significant than the jump from r.s to revolver.lots of people don't agree with that.i am looking forward to some interesting chat over the next few weeks.
I agree that the jump from
Help! to
Rubber Soul was the most important in terms of songwriting (actually
Rubber Soul is my very favourite Beatles album), but when we talk about recording techniques and sound I think that the jump from
Rubber Soul to
Revolver was the most important. I see
Rubber Soul as the album with the best songs and
Revolver as the most revolutionary album ever.
