Listening to the Beatles for the first time

[Bushy]

I've only got the Magical Mystery Tour CD. I want more

[ncba93ivyase]

the white album is the only album of theirs i find remotely bearable, and i consider it quite good

[Hiro]

What the fuck, you've never listened to the Beatles before?

I still need to get all the remasters. I just have Sgt Pepper's and 1.

Magical Mystery Tour is an odd place to start. I highly suggest getting either Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road, or Revolver next. Those are the three most essential Beatles albums if you ask me. White Album would be right after those three, and then Rubber Soul (though oddly i prefer it over White), and then the order after that is pretty skewed.

Personally, it goes like this for me:

Abbey Road > Revolver > Sgt. Pepper > Rubber Soul > White Album > Magical Mystery Tour > A Hard Day's Night > Let It Be > Help!

The other albums I don't have yet, at least not as whole pieces. I have a lot of the songs from them on compilations and various downloaded tracks.

How do you avoid the Beatles for this long

Thanks for the tip, Kaz.

I've listened to it before, but I didn't know.

is it because you're black

The obvious conclusion

maybe he just doesn't like lame pop music from before his time

idk

[Boogus Epirus Aurelius]

I dont know, when I started listening to them I got that feeling that I was one of the few people that was really discovering them.
Obviously that's fucking dumb, but I absolutely obsessed over their music.
And I still do to a degree.

[Samus Aran]

And I still do to a degree.

Same here, they're one of the few bands I can obsess over pretty much any time, even when I think I'm in the mood for something else.

This. I knew the Beatles were awesome but I never made an effort to listen to it.

[the shortest route to the sea]

I don't listen to them as much actively anymore, but whenever a song comes on I'm immediately taken to where they are in the most wonderful way possible.

Abbey Road > Revolver > Sgt. Pepper > Rubber Soul > White Album > Magical Mystery Tour > A Hard Day's Night > Let It Be > Help!

Why do you have Help! so low?

Well, for one thing, I haven't listened to it enough. I might even like it more than Let It Be if I really get into it more...but there's nooooooo way it could ever be better than their other late albums and Hard Day's Night. HDN is, in my opinion, the ultimate in the Beatles' "silly pop songs" era.
