Mine is 66 up

Mine is late 65 - early 68. From Rubber Soul to Hey Bulldog sessions. Also the era which appears on Yellow Submarine cartoon. The psychedelic thing especially.

Rubber Soul/Revolver era

Rubber Soul and everything after.

Just before that and after Beatlemania (from Beatles For Sale till Rubber Soul). I mean, the pure pop music with some ingredients of what was coming to be in the best era of moderm music in world history 65-69 years (what great music was made in the world in those 5 years!!)  

Beatlemania (62-66). I liked how Paul looked in that era and the music was simpler I think.

68-70 is my favourite era

I go in phases, sometimes all i listen to is the first two albums then I go on a big rubber soul trip and then do abbey road and have that on repeat. SOmetimes I listen to the hamburg stuff. I guess i just like everything depending on my mood. Thats whats so good about the fabs! They did it all!

The early years, '63-'65 are my favorites.

I love it all

But rubber soul to sgt pepper are my fav

1963-1964

1965-1968, the psychedellic era. I also like the early years.

I also like the 66-68 period.

64-69 oops cant do that

64-66 :>

64-69 oops cant do that

Yes, you can. They're their best years,... believe me, they are.  

The earlier the better for me!

hey mendips....here...... http://www.merseybeatnostalgia.co.uk/index.html

mine is Rubber Soul / Revolver

Yeah agree with above.

When I was first a Beatles fan, in my early teens, I liked the early era.  The Beatles were (at least they seemed) more innocent, they were clean-cut, friendly with each other and the public, witty, charming, and drug-free (relatively speaking).  Then they.... changed.  Their hair got long and they all sported beards -- John became unrecognizable.  John dumped his nice English wife for a strange Japanese woman.  George became a Hindu.  Paul started getting real bossy.  They didn't like each other anymore.

When I got older, and lost some of my own innocence, I accepted the Beatles' evolution as something that was meant to happen.  If they'd remained the moptops forever, their story would have gone nowhere.  Musically, I listen to the second half of the Beatles' catalogue (approximately from Rubber Soul onwards) more than the first.

To me, an era encompasses seven years -- about the amount of time between Love Me Do and Abbey Road.  It's all one era, and I love it all.

Like someone said before, the earlier the better! But I still love thier later stuff too!

Hee, nice answer. Welcome to the forums, Mr. Mustard.

Yeah, that's my sense of it, too: it's the development that took place throughout The Beatles' career that makes the indvidual pieces of it all the more interesting.  

I would say like early sixties just because they all seemed just to get along better then...things were much simpler

my favourite time musically is the Sgt Peppers/Magical Mystery Tour, but im fascinated more by there early lives

My utmost favorite period would be the Paperback Writer/Rain single thru Revolver all the way into their Psychedelic era, Pepper, MMT, and ending just before The White Album. The peak of creativity to me in pushing boundaries and rules. I suppose the break in '66 after Revolver and the stopping of tours, just before Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields, to me it seems, ANYTHING was possible, and any result would have been extraordinary. The possibilities seem endless. The promo film or "video" for Strawberry Fields Forever just gets me every time, its PERFECT. They didn't have to tour, they could focus on being ARTISITS. Its that great leap forward, from the still moptopish 66 feel straight into mustached mysteriosos of 67. That is the definition to me, the pinnacle of music as an art form. The path into the advant garde, the surreal, the mystical,the spiritual, the psychedelic, is like a blossom blooming. It really speaks to me, their period of change, being 19. I've went through so many changes, friends come and go, the death of a parent, my revaluation of my faith, my state of mind and consciousness, it must be why I love the 60's so, I've went from a unsensitive, unmindful young boy, and grown into a spiritual,loving,empathitic young man. I love art and The Beatles express it in such a beautiful way for me. And I really want a mustache. I do enjoy some post Beatles work too, Paul's RAM, George's ATMP.
I've felt like I've made a leap from being a moptop to a mustached LSD influenced artist. The Beatles have showed me ways of opening my mind I never dreamed of (legal and illegal). And ways of opening my heart to others. I see things in a much more beautiful way, its indescribable. Flower Power may get made fun alot and ridiculed, but I wouldn't be any other way. In short, 66 to 67.

It still appeals to me, too, at 44. There's always something else to find out about, or some new perspective from which to reconsider what you thought you knew or took for granted before.

my favourite era is 1962-1965! as DarkSweetLady said, things seem to be simpler
& they were having the time of their lives, before the worse came like Epstein passing
on, & the whole crazy buisness of Apple started. they were making amazing energetic
music & there seemed to be no arguing at that period.  

well, musically, i like them from all over the place, but if it were going on a combination of music and looks,, then i like the earlier era, like 1962 - 1965. they were just so, so, ya know, CUTE, and SIMPLE, and they had  FRIENDLY personalities, and all that jazz. they were also nice to EACH OTHER, and they were excited about working together, not just like "ok, lets get this over with....". it was a good time to be a beatle. (or a beatles fan   )

Everything the Beatles did in 1967 is class A Beatles (as well as Beatles doing class A's ).
