(4,056 posts)And not surprised it was you. The best Beatles collection of songs has gotta be from the Brit releases of Rubber Soul and Revolver, and In my Life is sublime perfection.
I also can't stop from crying when I hear Across the Universe, since that was the first song they played on BBC after they announced John had been killed. I like to think of him with limitless undying love which shines across him like and million suns, and pulls him on and on...

I like the trippy ones, and this is one of my favorites out of those along with Glass Onion, the production with George Martin was impressive.

Trajan
(19,089 posts)In fact ... I have quite a few .... I was an active Beatles fan back in the day ...
It's hard to pick a favorite, but this one stands out as a complete innovation that changed how I thought about rock music, forever ...
Just an amazing lyrical excursion into artistic whimsy ... The string melodies twirling around the chord stabs always fascinated me, and the ever rising/falling chord patterns in the coda just blew me away ...
At age 12, as a budding guitarist, I just fell in love with this album!
Trajan
(19,089 posts)I remember when this hit the radio .... There was absolutely nothing that compared .... Sgt Pepper's was the invention of psychedelic pop ... I was mesmerized ....
From the movie, Yellow Submarine:

Trajan
(19,089 posts)This one was recorded while it was broadcast live to the world in June of 1967, the world's first global television link .... I remember seeing that very broadcast (Hey Jude as well ....) ... I was so stoked !
Trajan
(19,089 posts)(for now .... Can you tell I love the Beatles ? ... I got this shit on speed dial ...)
When they stopped visiting Ed Sullivan, They just mailed it in ...

From the movie 'Help!'
I love the editing for this: George has a wry countenance ... Somewhere around 1:48; the girl jumps when George leans over belts out "HEY!" .... F'in love it ... One of their best 'music video' style pieces ..
