"It's fear of the unknown. The unknown is what it is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that--it's all illusion. Unknown is what it is. Accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. Everything is unknown--then you're ahead of the game. That's what it is. Right?”-JL
I got into the Beatles in April 2006 when I heard Love Me Do play in a restaurant. So after that, I dug out my dad's "One" album and listened to the whole thing straight through. That was it for me, I fell in love with that CD and the Beatles. It was the first one I ever listened to, and it got me hooked, and I pretty much listened to it every day from then on. I remember that a lot of the songs sounded very familiar, having listened to them without knowing it in the car on vacation or something years before. So when I listen to the One album, I like to think about the very first time and that whole time period when I was just learning everything new about the Beatles. I loved the booklet inside, and was instantly trying to learn the lyrics to all the songs. That album did me in. Not necessarily my favorite, but I'm probably attached to it the most. There's a difference, I guess 'cause it was the album that brought the Beatles into my life.
But as for the original albums, Rubber Soul and Abbey Road were the first ones I ever bought a little over a year ago. I loved them both instantly, and couldn't stop listening to them. I thought they were the greatest. And also last summer, I hadn't bought A Hard Day's Night yet, but found that my dad had the record so I listened to that every day, even though it was very bad quality 'cause our needle isn't too great. I was into my whole Hard Day's Night kick, watching the movie endlessly and replaying the album over and over and over... I also have some fond memories of sitting on the couch on a snow day off of school and just listening to the Beatles almost all day, watching the snow fall. Heaven...

i know this is old, but sergeant pepper's. this is because i have GREAT (yet often simple) memories. for example: i have memories of me skipping around the pool as soon as i could skip holding the alum slipcover over my head while singing along with Lucy. great times

i also remember sitting out in the sum with my brother each eating an entire half a watermelon (a lot for 3/4 year old to eat!) and chewing (and swallowing ) a large amount of watermelon flavored gum while having peppers blasting. it is just a memory now.

without even thinking about it, revolver. I love every song on it. she said, she said, i'm only sleeping, eleanore rigby, tomorrow never knows, taxman, here there and everywhere, good day sunshine. my favorite album cover too. if they ever reissue it, I hope they add paperback writer and rain on it.
i think they probley would. every re-issue of albums usually adds the singles on now
Oh, what a happy thought! But the Beatles catalog moves in mysterious ways. I'll believe it when I see it, alas.
All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007
