So we've seemed to agree that A Day In the Life is the best

>>68207832
With a Little Help From my Friends I think
then again, I don't really like that album at all, it's their worst album after Beatles for Sale imo

She's Leaving Home

>>68207862
It's the worst album they've ever made

>>68207863
This, beat me to it

>>68207832
A day in the life

>>68207862
>>68207956
wow terrible opinions

>>68208143
>revolver
>mmt
>abbey road
>rubber soul
>help
any song from these albums is better than any song in peppers
heck, even the absolute mess that is white album has better highlights so go fuck yourself in the ass faggot

Lovely Rita. The rhyme scheme is so far ahead of its time

>>68208204
this

>>68208184
you know damn well that help isn't as good as Sgt pepper. If anything pre-rubber soul is on par with the rest, it's Beatles for Sale

Second best is She's Leaving Home imo, and I'm not even a Beach Boys fan or something like that, that song simply gets me everytime

>>68208307
why? because pepper has more studio trickery and ideas than help? most of it is fucking dull material anyway

>>68208338
>why because it's more innovative production-wise and is more creative?
do you realize how stupid you sound right now?

>2016
>still talking about The Beatles

They were the first manufactured pop band that thankfully decided to experiment in their later years.

>>68208384
>manufactured
Explain this
>inb4 the fact that

>>68208422
They were essentially a boy band of the 60s. They wrote catchy pop music for a female audience. They were promoted heavily and were marketed in a way that served as a precursor for the marketing of pop bands to come.

>>68208472
do people actually have this opinion

getting better

>>68208487
Yes as it is quite well informed.

>>68208472
Unlike boy bands they won the respect and admiration of the professional music world and greatly influenced it beyond commercial marketing.

>>68208379
being creative isn't necesarily a good thing, it's just that: being creative
>music must be creative and innovative
what an elitist fuck you are, music is about artist expression. and peppers achieves very little to nothing on that part.

>>68207863
This

>>68207832
Within You Without You

>>68208609
this is the weirdest and probably worst opinion i've ever seen on /mu/

>>68208650
ok

>>68208689
do you want music to be a craft? should every band aspire to the perfect pop formula that everyone will like?
do you think a form of creative expression shouldn't be an expression of creativity?

>>68208634
this

>>68208599
I'm not saying they didn't but boy bands as we know them today didn't exist in the 60s. The Beatles early work was instrumental in providing the framework for that to exist.

The professional musical collective at the time accepted them more as peers rather than artistic visionaries at least until Sgt. Peppers and the psychedelic era that followed.

>>68207832
>27 replies
>no mention of Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Easily the second-best song on the album

>>68208703
Craft plays a vital role in creative expression. Creative expression without craft boils down very quickly into mere conceptualism and conceptualism tied with music can be a very self-indulgent and worthless endeavour.

>>68208764
That's on mmt retard

>>68208703
I realize what I said was not was I meant to say, at >>68208609

let me rephrase myself and put it this way; music, more than being about innovation and new ideas, is about making one empathize with the artist's feeling while listening to it; be it sadness, happiness, anger, euphoria, passion, energy, whatever, something beyond words; if it doesn't make you "feel" something, I for one categorize it as shit
even classical music achieves artistic expression that I enjoy, not in the same way but it does
music tagged plainly as "experimental" is mostly dull to me for this same reason; most of it doesn't really express anything, it just tries to be something different for the sake of it

peppers has barely made me feel anything at all, even in Please Please Me I could sense the passion put behind the words and melodies and understand these guys were, if at least not having fun, enjoying their own music

now that's what I meant by "artistic expression", and if you still believe that peppers should be regarded better by my words then I guess it's probably my fault because I don't like the album anyway
it's not like you're going to change my opinion on it

>>68208883
kek
boy, I have to tell you something...

>>68208964
If you think that Please Please Me is more passionate than pepper you're absolutely retarded. Also Lucy is on mmt you're just buying the narrative

>>68209056
>>68209056
>If you think that Please Please Me is more passionate than pepper you're absolutely retarded.
then so be it, faggot

>>68209092
how hard were you hitting your keyboard when you typed that?

>>68208964
>music is about...

You just said yourself that music is about creative expression. If music is designed in a way that is aesthetically pleasing and yet does not evoke feeling, is it still music?

>>68209140
as hard as I pounded your mother last night haha

Mr. Kite is a personal favorite but probably shes leaving home

i love within you without you

>>68210920
Worst beatles song

Have you even tried to learn something about the history of The Beatles instead of coming up with your own conclusions?

>>68211705
>implying it isn't Yer Blues

>>68209167
it is still music
but it's shit

Lucy in the Sky is the best Beatles song.

One of:

>With a Little Help From My Friends
>Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
>Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite

I really dislike She's Leaving Home for some reason.

I saw Paul live at a festival this Summer and he included Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite in his set which is odd since it's a Lennon song and not even one of his best known. Was nice to hear it though (even if I was in the minority of the audience who actually seemed to know it).

>>68208543
Mono version!

>>68207863
This is first place. Day in the Life is 2nd.

>>68213027
get outta here with this BULL SHIT

>>68207832
>So we've seemed to agree that A Day In the Life is the best track
lolwut. No.
This is the best track.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK8ombQQdM4

>>68213869
this. both sound great. but she's leaving home sounds more british, which is what i like.

>>68208472
Bit autistic this IMO

>>68208964
I think the real breakthrough with Sgt. Pepper's was that it demonstrated that a rock band could be all these different things - even pretending to be another band - on one album and it would still feel like a cohesive work

it was really in the forefront of showing the variety of different sounds and moods and styles you could cram into one album

This is also the shortcoming of Sgt. Pepper's, IMHO, making a more cohesive album with the tracks moving in a more predictable or controlled way from one to the other creating a satisfying whole has shown itself to be the generally superior way to make a great album rather than going for a lot of variety.

>>68208184

They are all banal, anti-intellectual garbage. Every single one of them. Scaruffi was correct about the Beatles.

>>68207832
Best album is rubber soul

Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite

>>68217148
bad opinion
bad you

>all these Beatles hating plebs not knowing this and Abbey Road are the only albums Scaruffi likes and admits are good
Sgt. pepper's and Abbey Road are certified patrician.

>>68217148
>>68217496
You fucking meme spouting retard, like this guy said Scaruffi actually gave Pepper's and Abbey Road a 7 which is a really good score from him (he considers it on par with albums like Pet Sounds and OK Computer) even more since it's the Beatles and he hates them.

>>68208472
>they just a boy band xD
Why do Beatles haters always use this dumb ass argument? Yes, they fucking were until Rubber Soul and we all know it which is why nobody cares about pre-Rubber Soul albums, the Beatles themselves got tired of the boy band shit which is why they started experimenting and actually became good.

>>68207832
Has nobody noticed the little fantano in the top row of the photo?

+1 for mr Kite

Nobody would care about this album if it didn't have a Day in the Life. Prove me wrong.

>>68217727
you can say that about most albums

>>68213027
Yer Blues is fucking great you scrub.

>>68213027
YES I'M LONELY

>>68217812
WANNA DIE

shite-tier album

>>68218025
shite-tier post

>>68213027
You think yer blues is the worst Beatles song?

>>68208964
You're so hung up on selling out and obscurity status and bullshit. I wish more talented artist today had more of chance to make there way into the mainstream but that would probably shatter your ego to know you weren't the only person in your town who listened to good music.

>>68213095
The crowd at a Paul McCartney concert didn't know that song? How?

She's Leaving Home is the best track, Within You Without You is second best.

>>68213869
A day in the life is a great song but it is a sort lazily written Imo desu

>>68218342
Most patrician opinion ITT.

>>68218335
It was at a festival. A lot of people weren't there for Paul McCartney.

My favorite song on Sgt. Peppers is When I'm 64, Paul wrote it when he was maybe 15 or 16 and he would sing it with his father on their family piano.

Every song on it is good though, it's hard to pick which is the best
>>68207956
>>68208184
>>68208384
>>68208472
0/10 try harder

>>68218546
>My favorite song on Sgt. Peppers is Whem I'm 64, Paul wrote it when he was maybe 15 or 16 and he would sing it with his father on their family piano.
Holy shit I didn't know this
What the fuck I couldn't write something as good now and I'm 22

>>68218546
>>68218657

Maybe it's because I used to be a member of a male choir, most members of which are 50+, but we performed that song on several occasions and it's one of my favourite Beatles tracks period.

Getting Better is the best song the Beatles ever made.

Wait wait wait- so what's the worst Beatles song out of their ENTIRE discography??

>>68218791
Dont pass me by

>>68219245
This. What a piece of shit song. Ringo shouldn't be allowed to write anything ever. Octopus's Garden is OK though

a local music journalist here in Finland invited about 150 of his music loving friends/acquaintances to listen and rate all released Beatles songs on a scale from 4 to 10 (Finnish school grading works that way), one track was posted in a Facebook group per day with the ratings gathered after the posting - 126 went through with the whole thing

bottom 5:
Dig it - 5.12
Maggie Mae - 5.21
Matchbox - 5.25
Chains - 5.32
Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby - 5.35

yup, all are mediocre bullshit crap that could have been released by almost anyone

top 5:
5: Tomorrow Never Knows - 9.35
4: Here Comes The Sun - 9.38
3: Eleanor Rigby - 9.57
2: A Day In The Life - 9.61
1: Strawberry Fields Forever - 9.69

Really high average ratings for over 100 voters IMHO - I guess everyone was instructed or understood the point to be rating Beatles tracks, so you'd give 10 to at least your favorites

This Finnish language article has the full list of average scores if anyone is interested:

>>68219605
Truly interesting! Thank you anon!

>>68221191

my pleasure, really appreciate the comment <3

I know /mu/ memes and jokes alot, but anyone regular at /mu/ does still love music so I think we should all put that 2 minutes of effort to post something cool we've seen to appropriate threads - we all appreciate real OC stuff in the end, anyway

>>68219605
...but 4 out of the bottom 5 arent even beatles songs, they're beatles covers

>>68221640
Yeaah... That gives you some good insight into the methodology.

It is worthwhile to know that Beatles recorded shitty versions of other people's songs that are essentially worthless.

Here is some more of the crappy end:

195 Thank You Girl 5,94
196 One After 909 5,87
197 Why Don't We Do It On the Road 5,87
198 Act Naturally 5,87
199 Mr. Moonlight 5,76
200 Little Child 5,76
201 Wild Honey Pie 5,76
202 Kansas City / Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey 5,76
203 Slow Down 5,74
204 I’ll Get You 5,62
205 All Together Now 5,53
206 Honey Don't 5,36
207 Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby 5,35


All I want to say is that this is actually a pretty great list of Beatles songs made by some real, non-idiot contemporary people, so you will likely get more value by exploring it than complaining on the Internets because some real person run a real poll with non-idiot people.

Not sure if you guys are joking or whatever but When I'm Sixty Four is the best.

>>68221781
i agree with thank you girl and i'll get you,
but wdwdiitr, one after 909, and all together now are purposely silly
idk it feels weird to call them bad when they werent supposed to be "good"

>>68207863
This is the first song to give me literal chills. So good

>>68223442
It's a very emotional song to be sure

it's just a remarkable song for successfully catching a very emotional moment in a difficult environment
