Am I pleb if I think this is the best Beatles album?

Most people think its sgt peppers outside of Sup Forums so not really.

Probably a stoner

le car noises xd

I think its the best. Maybe we're both plebs.

Tbqh I just recently started really listening to the the Beatles and Sgt. Pepper didn't really seem all that more interesting than something the Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin would put out.

I could see why somebody might prefer Abbey Road or maybe even Revolver though.
I actually hate how weed makes me feel because I'm an anxiety ridden subhuman.

Nah you're not a pleb but Sgt Pepper is objectively their best album. Everything they did before it led to that one album and it was the perfect artistic statment they could make as a group.

Revolver is better, but Rubber Soul is a close second.

Revolver and Rubber Soul are just the hipsters Beatles albums. Half of those albums are just filler.

What is your favorite Beatles album, user? Also, what tracks do you consider filler?

Is this b8 or has Sup Forums just been infiltrated by plebs?

I've never really thought about their "best" album, but Revolver is my favorite.

Sgt Pepper is monumental, but I'll go out on a limb and say The White Album was more ambitious, and that Abbey Road is a better collection of songs.

The thing with the Beatles is that they were so good during that 1965-69 run that everyone will have a different favorite album

Thinking Rubber Soul is the best album the beatles ever released is the real pleb opinion.

You're thinking of the white album

Regardless of how you feel about where the album ranks thinking that "half the tracks are filler" is pretty fucking pleb.

Why asking if you are a pleb? It's your favourite and that's it, stop looking for this fucking boards aproval, I honestly prefer Sgt Pepper and the people in here give shit to that album, so what? I still enjoy it better than anything else.
Sgt Pepper and Revolver I think are better than Rubber Soul but I wouldn't say that you are a pleb, we just have different taste and points of view, and that's alright my dude.

If the White Album or Revolver isn't your favorite than you haven't reached adulthood/enlightenment yet. But you will.

Yeah, this and Revolver are their most pleb albums

I think Revolver and RS have a more cohesive sound, but the variety of Pepper and MMT (and the more overt psychedelia) make them superior. Abbey Road and White Album have some of their best songs but White Album does have some filler and is not really a cohesive "piece".
Abbey Road is near perfect.

You're a pleb if you can point to one Beatles album as being significantly better than all others.

lol

...

But Sgt. peppers is half filler

Within You Without You is literally the only mediocre track

...

...

El Oh El

fuck you, no one has ever made a better double album, except maybe Physical Graffiti

>Contrarian
White album
>Pleb
Abbey Road/Revolver/Sgt Pepper
>Patrician
MMT

*terrible track

Found the plebs

Hoenstly its a respectable choice OP. It was right at the crossroads of them being a simple pop rock band and them being experimental as fuck, its a very mature sounding album

no it's subjective once you get to RS -> Abbey Road

If you think any of their albums pre-Rubber Soul are better than that group then you are a super pleb

White Album isn't contrarian are you high? Contrarian is like, Let it Be or Yellow Submarine

Objectively their most popular album. Let it Be is America's top seller, and I honestly think White Album/Abbey Road are tied with Pepper and out of those three, there is no objective "best"

White Album was the first CD I ever bought for my first car stereo lol

At first I could only listen to Dear Prudence and a few other tracks. Eventually when I would go on long car rides, it slowly dawned on me the genius of this album.

Even after listening to all of their works, The White Album clearly stands out as their top work. Nobody can ever get away with putting out 30 tracks and have it be that good.

People say it has filler, but they don't get the point. There can't be filler on this album.

Their most popular album is definitely Abbey Road.

This guy gets it. White Album seems so imperfect but that's the point (inb4 hurr it's bad on purpose). It has a bit of everything. Every ounce of each Beatle's personality shines through. It's not the most perfect Beatle album but it is the one that I go back and listen to the most by far. It just has so much to offer.

in the US it is Let it Be

hard to verify in the post-internet era but trust an oldfag on this one

It's easy to verify post-internet. I literally just did it.

the picture you provided is from the internet and does not have the relevant context?

why are you trying to be smug on the internet kid?

First picture is last.fm

Here's one from Spotify. Maybe you should familiarize yourself with the internet, oldfag.

I think you just like arguing on the internet

you should tell your parents you love them and that you want their help getting over the anger.

winning arguments on the internet is not a good look buddy

Holy shit dude hold this L. You made an erroneous claim, I showed you information proving otherwise. You really aren't acting like someone who was old enough to remember the Beatles.

Here's your medal kiddo

Incredible levels of butthurt. I never even put forth an opinion, was just showing stats from Last.fm and Spotify. Someone (not me) is having a really tough time dealing with the fact he said something factually incorrect. Also calling someone kiddo over and over again really makes you seem wise and mature :^)

WHAT GOES OOOOOOON

Please Please Me is rhythmically and vocally their greatest output

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.

Hopefully, one not-too-distant day, there will be a clear demarcation between a great musician like Tim Buckley, who never sold much, and commercial products like the Beatles.

This all fookn day.

It's a really, really good album, you are fine OP.
Everything from Rubber Soul to White Album I can Understand.
Now, Original Let it Be sucks, if this shit is someone fav the dude is just a retard. (LIB Naked is fine)

It's such a bad album that it is like a joke.
bunch of amateurs

this

Does anyone else remember that meme a few years ago, when people would always post this album, along with some text? What was the text usually used? I forget.

>musician
It's my favorite as well. It's really angsty and helped me with bad breakups

>literally the only good track besides the closer

How have you not listened to this album?

pleb by default for listening to The Beatles

>I'm so different and special because I think The Beatles are overrated
get out of my board

Their most underrated desu.

no, you're a major pleb for enjoying their music at all.

Heres your (you)

i wasn't even trolling. they fucking suck.

They are the best gateway classic alternative rock band though.

how can you say that the most popular rock band of all time is alternative in any sense of the word?

No.
This is their best album, before Lennon took it overboard.

>Blue Jay Way
>I Am the Walrus
>Happiness Is a Warm Gun
>Helter Skelter
>Revolution 9
>I Want You (She's So Heavy)

i'm sad for you that you spent time on that. it's sad. because you are so dumb.

you are the person who believes alternative facts are a thing.

I think people overlook their early albums which are energetic, fun and free; showing how they set themselves apart from the stuffy music of the day and even that to come.

I think youre missing out if you only go with their 'artistic' albums.

Yep but that's ok. It's a good album, enjoy it.

She's leaving home, fixing a hole, lovely rita maybe.

it's not the most perfect album.

with rubber soul, the album is tonally cohesive. and honestly, if they picked any song at random as one of their singles it'd be a top 10 hit.

some of their later songs do not have that same power, and it's not a matter of musical shift considering their weirdest songs are also the most popular.

>She's leaving home
> mediocre

how can someone be this wrong?

that doesn't really help your point. there have been plenty of bands that are considered classic rock yet their genres can be completely different

>She's leaving home, fixing a hole
Two best songs on the album. Kill yourself.

She's leaving home is the only song that rivals a day in the life

The worst song is unironically Within You

>this is literally (You) in this thread.

why does everyone like this so much

She's leaving home was the last time Paul McCartney did great vocals in the band and the instrumentation is excellent.

yeah bullshit. you're just defending the album not the song.

if abbey road cut its filler to match against Sgt Peppers, it'd be superior in every way.

it's just too bad abbey road suffers from B-side mediocrity. it starts off soooo well with her comes the sun and because, then it shits through until carry that weight.

>last time Paul McCartney did great vocals in the band

so many shit opinions in this thread

>you're just defending the album not the song.
What the fuck does this mean?

the singing and instrumentals got only more complex as time went on. Because was the hardest for all three to nail, iirc

no one's disputing Within without you is shitty and boring.

What would have happened if John never met Yoko, lads?

Yoko would have been regarded more highly in the arts world. he held her down. and beat the shit out of her.

The Beatles would have reformed in the late 70's

>being this naive

the beatles would have broken up around mid 1970s once the rock renaissance went into full effect.

More like mid 80's at best, assumine Lennon wasn't already dead from being a drug addict.

It's the best of both Beatles worlds, but not the best of The Beatles.

Imagine being John Lennon in the studio and having to be all like "damn, Yoko, you fuckin' sing like an angel, all out of pitch with a voice that sounds like 8 cats getting slammed over the head with a suitcase". I am so glad i married this atrocity exhibition." when all he really wants to do is fuck his 16 year old fans like back in the day. Like seriously imagine having to be John and not only sit in that chair while Yoko caterwauls and looks at you with a glare so narrow she could be blindfolded by dental floss, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while she perfected that screech. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking voice but her haughty attitude and sit there like the cuck you are and say "THATS GREAT" and "DAMN, WHY DONT SING ON THIS TRACK WITH ME??" because you dont want to admit that the other Beatles were right and this cunt turned you into a little bitch. You were fucking nothing but a healthy diet of blondes and supermodels and beating your first wife for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the decrepit shipyards of Liverpool. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can hear Paul laughing as she sticks her reptilian tongue into your mouth and your penish shrivels to the size of a pin. And then the producer calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single person in the world with your socialist message before you could be found out, but you sit there and endure, because you're a fucking Cuck. You're not going to admit your mistake. Just bear it. Hide your shame and bear it.

Beatles breaking up was inevitable regardless of Yoko but they probably would have survived a year or two longer without her. John's solo career probably would have been more unnoteworthy than it already is and he would have died of a drug overdose.
