Revolver, hands down - it's one of my favourite albums ever, plus I prefer the more complex songs it offers
That's basically the whole deal there. It's Rubber Soul, but with more complex arrangements and craziness like "Love You To", "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "I'm Only Sleeping".
"Only people know just how to talk to people. Only people know just how to change the world."
Although Ive heard many people say they find Rubber Soul and Revolver could be Volume 1 & 2.... such claims hold no foundations with my own ears
For me, Rubber Soul is the ultimate Beatles Album. Such a claim, obviously needs explanation..(or defence..on such an edgy forum ) When looking through the chronological order of the Beatles Albums... the fresh contemporary trend which is absorbed through Rubber Soul symbolises the blossoming imaginative streak that the Beatles adopt..striving into the matured sixties..very much apart of the movement they helped to push into the mainstream. Its this commercial yet underground feeling that Rubber-Soul Offers; a blend of doped up moods mixed with the rapid realisation of music entering a phase which will transform goals and push boundaries. I feel Rubber Soul offers a soothing, soulful and more graceful listen, while Revolver is sharpened by the electric riffs and singing styles. Although rough naive concepts..I see Rubber Soul as the Dope Album...and Revolver as the Acid...the simple characteristics can be clearly seen in attitude and edge. This does not decide which is better, as it is merely opinion, but Rubber Soul..for me..has a very forced style..Something which totaly grasps me..even after the 6000th listen.
Rubber Soul. The melodies are catchy and the lyrics are introspective. It just pleases everyone.
I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa coming for you I'm the space invader, I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' b**** for you Keep your mouth shut, you're squawking like a pink monkey bird And I'm busting up my brains for the words
Wow, how difficult this is! They're both my favourites, and for some time I couldn't decide on any of them. But, if you force me to, I think I like only a bit more Rubber Soul, and this is only because of the song "Norwegian wood". But if you ask me the same question again tomorrow, I'd say "Revovler", so...
On the whole I prefer Rubber Soul, there are more tracks I really like, although I can never get passed "And your bird can sing" on Revolver. Best song not to be released as a single or b/side
I voted for Revolver. I actually like every song on Rubber Soul and there are several songs on Revolver that I can't abide ("She Said" and "Tomorrow Never Knows"), but the other material on Revolver is so strong, it makes up for that. It's close for me, though, especially since I favor a more acoustic approach which is prevalent on Rubber Soul

OMG!

This explains the appeal of the Beatles...so many songs, appealing to so many different types of people.
