It's true that Mr. Diamond has his moments! Beautiful Noise baby!

I'd have to add Pawn Hearts by Van Der Graaf Generator to my #8 spot in Neil's place.

The Beatles-sgt peppers lonley hearts club

mmm, sgt peppers is their most overrated album, i think it's mediocre at best. revolver beats it more than a red-headed stepchild.

 

[affinityband]

You think? i have all of them, but i dunno i just really like that one, i prefer john lennon solo stuff, but not all of it, its like on some of the albums they have quite a few dud songs, john lennon best of releases are awesome though.

i can easily understand you preferring revolver to sgt. peppers. but to say its mediocre at best of ANY beatles album...is an excersize in stupidity. sorry pal.



considering just about any latter period beatles album is better than any opeth album, and you havent referred to any Opeth as "mediocre at best" yet.

The Beatles - Beatles For Sale

The Beatles - Revolver

Nice, I thought I was one of the few who liked the earlier albums as much at the later ones

 

[Shadows Skulk]

I'm a Lennon guy, and since he was the implied 'leader' of the band for the earlier albums, they are my favorites. Since Paul's influence overtook John's a little later on, I don't like the later albums as much.

 

[deliverance]

i'd prefer to listen to mid to later beatles, but i still love the early stuff too. hell, i love every album they recorded, to be honest. my favorite "old" album is hard days night though..what a great fucking cd.

whats wrong with let it be? the long and winding road itself is one of their strongest songs ever...as well as it kicks the pants off most Opeth songs. (no offense to Opeth, im assuming mike would agree anyway)

 

[Arnold Layne]

The Beatles - Help!

My fav Beatles album.

heh, i like nearly EVERY beatles song..but long and winding road? something about it i just don't care for it much. the stripped verison on let it be naked is better though, i think.

sgt. peppers is by far the most overrated beatles album. a few flashy studio tricks and good timing made it a classic with boomers, but it doesn't make up for the ho-hum songwriting. "lovely rita"? "she's leaving home"? hardly standout material, especially by the beatles standard. "good morning" is like a subpar version of the much better "here comes the sun". i'm sorry, "when i'm sixty-four" annoys the hell out of me too, mccartney could write that in his sleep. and for being such revolutionaries, "getting better" is an awfully anti-hippie sentiment. sure, "a day in the life" is a classic, but a lot of pompous posturing, lsd, and silly costumes alone do not a great album make.

and don't even try to say "black metal bands have plenty of pompous posturing and silly costumes" because i know they do, and plenty of black metal albums suck more dick than sgt peppers.

for the record, once upon a time i was a beatles fanatic, and i do have great respect for them. but their legendary status is no defense against logical criticism.

Darkthrone - A Blaze Through the Northern Sky

You mean A Blaze in the Northern Sky

It can't be much of a favourite if you can't even remember the name of it.
