This is a page decated solely to my personal favorite Beatles albums...this of course is my opinion only so you have every right to disagree, but I'll make my points on all, and maybe you'll agree with me. Peace Out and remember "All You Need Is Love!"
Harrison is heard playing sitar for the first time on "Norwegian Wood," a surprising development for a 1965 rock release. But what really makes this album rank so high in the Beatles' catalog are the increasing intricacy and maturity heard in the songwriting. "You Won't See Me," "I'm Looking Through You," and "If I Needed Someone" are among the group's greatest songs and didn't even get released as singles.
Some think the band's experimental side ran amuck on this two-LP extravaganza (its size alone was shocking in 1968). But though the band's three main creators were moving further apart, often not even recording together, their disparities produced an impressive breadth of vision. If some of McCartney's sillier moments ("Rocky Racoon") seem embarrassing three decades along (though "Blackbird" redeems him), Lennon ("Julia") and Harrison ("While My Guitar Gently Weeps") were finding new depths in their writing, and in Lennon's case, greater vehemence as well ("Yer Blues," "Happiness Is a Warm Gun")
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the most critically aclaimed Beatles album of all time. This album is what really separated them from being teen idols to true artists in the field of music. Harrison delves more deeply than ever into eastern music which is most aptly witnessed in his stunny "Within, Without You"...Other must listen songs include: 'With a Little Help From My Friends,' "A Day In the LIfe," She's Leaving Home, and "Fixing a Hole"...
"Back To Beatles Main Page."
"Back To Old Time Rock n' Roll Page."
