Which of these two albums do you prefer? Lots of people have said that they believe they could have been volume one and volume two.

I personally choose Rubber Soul. It was the beginning of new and fresh musical ideas. And it has my all time favourite song, In My Life, on it.

50-50%. I voted for Revolver.

Revolver with no doubts for me! It has so many great songs... Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, I'm only sleeping, love you to, here, there and everywhere, yellow submarine, she said she said, good day sunshine, and your bird can sing, for no one, dr. roberts, i want to tell you, got to get you into my life, tomorrow never knows.

Geez, i guess i named all of the songs from Revolver. They are all so great!

I chose revolver.  It was close though.

Rubber Soul all the way!! RS is my fav Beatles album

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I CANNOT choose!!!!  I am far too wishy-washy...like choosing a favorite friend or child!

Partly too because I've heard these things for nearly 40 years, so my perceptions are all screwed up (you do tire of some songs here and there).

Sorry.  I know I've let you down terribly. 

i like rubber soul it is the completion of the metamorphisis that they were fully into in revolver....if you can dig what i'm saying...

To me Rubber Soul is the beggining of their adulthood. Songs began to evolve from the r'n'b rock'n'roll songs they used to make. There are still some songs which i could include in the "early stuff" category, but there are also some that have a "new" sound.
Revolver is completely "new". That's how i feel when i hear. It's their "metamorphosis" completed to qoute pc31. I wonder how people felt about this album when it got out on the market... there was no song on it that could be compared to an "early stuff" song.

i know brain wilson of the beach boys must have hated it cause it dwarfed pet sounds and has often been said to be what changed rock and roll and took it into a new direction.

Rubber Soul, definitely, because it was their breakthrough album, artistically speaking. From that album on, they had more independence and could do more things as individuals, like George getting into the sitar.

I went with Revolver. Besides it being my favorite beatles album, I feel that it was a completed version of what Rubber Soul started.

Sorry, I couldn't vote! There is nothing to choose between them I reckon - they are BOTH brilliant (apart from What Goes On and Yellow Submarine - sorry Ringo!)

I think these are two very different albums though - Soul is more acoustic and Revolver is more electric. My two all-time favourite tracks are on these albums too - In My Life and Tomorrow Never Knows.

I'll take them both

Yay!

I'm not alone!

Rubber soul was my very first Beatle Purchase.. <3

I can't imagine the one without the other.  Rubber Soul marked the beginning of the Beatles experiments,  and Revolcer was the obvious continuity, culminating with Sgt Peppers.  No when it comes to the album, i just can't say i prefer this than that. They're
all good and they all mark a milestone in their musical path.

And as a second thought, i'd like to add that Rubber was the first one recorded on pot.
See the Lennon 'Rollinig Stone' interview. 

Definately Rubber Soul.

Both albums wre great and they each had a different but simmilar style to them.  I love both but I love Rubber soul just a little beter. I'm probly a 60%/40% person.

Personally, I'd choose the Rubber Sould album since the songs are more upbeat even though the lyrics could be downer than the actual music. I tend to like their songs that have good sense of vibrations, because it rubs off on you. "Run for your life" is defintely my favorite on there. The way John strums his guitar on it is favorites of mine.

as i expected the two albums came very close one to eachother and i will not be surprised if Rubber soul will take the lead.
Cheers!

and nw it's a perfect tie!

It's weird because John Lennon always hated this track - I think it was because he lifted the first couple of lines from Elvis's Baby Let's Play House (I think it was that track!). But I agree with you, it's a great album closer

Revolver....this Beatles classic rock album is their true psychedelic masterpiece creatively, musically & artistically with Tomorrow Never Knows as the standout track more so than Sgt. Pepper & MMT ever will be.

Now Revolver leads by 2 again. I never knew that Revolver was so popular...

Revolver is the best. so varied, so exciting... i love it

i like revolver, its the begining of the changes of the beatles, it is very good, slighlty better then rubber soul

nt slightly, but very much better than Rubber Soul... my opinion

They are both so great but Revolver

Revolver took off

both are great albums...but i gotta choose revolver ! ' I'm only sleeping ' is amazing!

I cahange my vote. I go for Revovler

Revolver by leaps and bounds

revolver
for taxman, eleanor rigby, for no one, got to get you into my life

definatly revolver

I love them both, but I voted for Rubber Soul because that's the first CD I ever heard.

I believe that Rubber Soul opened the door...but Pet Sounds kicked the door in and broke the hinges.  Also I doubt that Brian Wilson cared too much about what the public thought about Pet Sonds in comparison to Rubber Soul...had he wanted to blank the Beatles in the public's eye's he could have simply released a song about surfing and getting chicks...i like to think that he was personally much more satisfied knowing that he had created the most beautiful album in the history of rock and roll...even if only he and Paul knew it.

damn, Rubber Soul is losing by a lot

I think Rubber Soul is extremely important and transitional.  I only feel that Revolver has even more important and transitional material, so I guess it's "better".

Kind of apples to oranges tho.

I like oranges more.

I think revolver is a better album..but i listen to rubber soul alot more...its alot more fun.

If pushed in a corner i'd have to go with rubber soul,which is probably my fav beatle album.but revolver was awesome too!tough one really

i like rubber soul a lot better then Revolver.

revolver.  No, Rubber Soul.  No I'll stick with Revolver but it's very close.

I've asked my Mom this question on several occasions. It used to be Revolver for me,but I'm getting pretty tired of it. However,Rubber Soul (along with Sgt. Pepper) are growing on me.

Rubber Soul gets my vote,barely.

Revolver! I love For No One!
but I also love Rubber soul! waaahhhh

it's not easy, man!
