How would you rank all of the Beatles albums from worst to best?
Let it Be definitely the worst, only because Phil Spector threw up all over it.
Keep in mind, this is the list of albums created during the group's existence. Does not include anthologies, compilations, live albums or bootlegs.
13. Let it Be
12. Yellow Submarine -excellent film, but only four new songs
11. Help!
10. Beatles For Sale
9. With the Beatles
8. Please Please Me- above 4 have a few good songs each,
considering they were all rush jobs
7. Magical Mystery Tour- reverse Submarine. Good songs, lousy film
6. Rubber Soul
5. White Album
4. A Hard Day's Night- best film, excellent songs
3. Sgt. Pepper
2. Abbey Road
1. Revolver

This is up on YouTube if you haven't already seen it.... Unfortunately, it's not in English.

But yeah, I thought he also looked like Mahna Mahna/Bip Bippadotta in his orange days.
Holy crap on a stick! Tie me up and call me Alice! Foreign versions are neat. The English version would be worth its weight in gold.

Allow me to beg to differ here. Firstly, Help! was the best film :big_grin: and secondly, I'd rank the albums as follows.

13. Beatles For Sale - very rush job, has been my least favorite since forever.
12. With The Beatles
11. Please Please Me - The first two albums are classic early Beatles but I'm not the biggest fan of that era.
10. A Hard Day's Night - enjoyable film, good album.
9. Let It Be - I actually enjoy the production myself.
8. Help! - I'm kinda sad having to place it all the way back here, but I know some people who absolutely hate it. It's always been the favorite of mine from the first five.
7. Yellow Submarine - Despite the fact that only Side 1 is real Beatles, I still enjoy the score. Good stuff.
6. Magical Mystery Tour - Good album lol.
5. Rubber Soul - Definitely a game-changer.
4. Revolver - very interesting record.
3. Sgt. Pepper - for a while I considered it to be "overrated" but I'm coming round to it more and more.
2. White Album - I mean... Revolution 9 is a favorite of mine and so is the rest of the album.
1. Abbey Road - utter perfection.

I need to go through the discography again actually... Past Masters Vol. 2, by the way, stands up against their studio albums. :big_grin:

It sadly looks like this is a skit we'll have to rely on Sesame Workshop to upload. But yeah. I already imagined the troll had Jim's Dr. Teeth voice.

Well, we can agree to disagree.
Help! Had some good moments, but even the group dismissed the film.
John: It wasn't us. It was four clams in a film about frogs.

However, "You're Gonna Lose That Girl" was pure gold. 15 years before The Cars "My Best Friend's Girl".

Let it Be always had a bad taste to it. Everybody was tired after the tensions on the White Album. As John described it, " the most miserable session on earth".
It's hard to make good music when you hate your bandmates' guts.

Ask Van Halen about that.

I wonder where Big Brother fits in... hmm...

Speakin' o' which, Animal Farm VS 1984.
I'd give Animal Farm the nod over 1984, for the creation of this line:

We are all created equally, but some are more "equal" than others.

Cats visiting Fraggle Rock. Your thoughts.
One Fraggle Rock episode that touched me deeply was Wembley playing mommy to the baby bird.

Sprocket visited the Rock through Gobo's friendship. But given Sprocket didn't get along with Fluffinella, I'm not sure how well cats
would like the Rock. Too damp, I would imagine.
