The Beatles: Their Best Three Albums
The Beatles released twelve official studio albums from 1963 to ’70 and most of them were great so picking just three of their albums as the top three is a difficult task.
12? You may have heard that they had 13. That 13th “album” was actually Magical Mystery Tour which was originally released just as an EP in the UK. An “album” version of it was cobbled together in America by adding some earlier released singles to it.
Some Beatles purists don’t consider it one of The Beatles albums, although it has been added to The Beatles official UK discography since the 1970s (when it was released in the UK because so many fans were importing the US version.)
The White Album was actually officially self titled but it has since become known as The White Album due to it’s almost entirely white cover. This album includes 30 Beatles songs. Some of them are of immense quality and others are considered “filler” by man. I love it precisely because it’s not so perfect. Instead of perfection, it’s goal is variety. To my ears this makes it the most endlessly listenable album. It’s funny how not worrying about whether every second of music was “listenable” they ended making their most endlessly listentable album.
#2 Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
A lot of people claim that this legendary album is overrated and I suppose that’s true from the standpoint that The Beatles other albums get overlooked in comparison. For example a lot of less informed people say that Sgt. Pepper was The Beatles first attempt at “art music” but obviously Rubber Soul & Revolver beat it to the punch. But, I still think Sgt. Pepper is an amazing album that works as the band’s most “cohesive statement” and I think while it may be underrated by those who are slightly ignorant of The Beatles whole career, I think it’s actually now underrated by those known as “hipsters.”
#3 Revolver
Revolver is probably The Beatles most consistently great album. Every song is worthy of high praise from the gorgeous “Eleanor Rigby” to the childlike “Yellow Submarine
