did my best to recreate his outfit from help!

No photo seems to exist of John with his dad.

There are a lot of divisive opinions on this album; specifically The Stones themselves, and some Beatles fans. But, this album feels uniquely outstanding from the rest, and the cover totally reminds a lot of Sgt Pepper. To be fair, if it wasn't for the cover, I think it would received much better than it would and the comparisons won't be clear. Between the Buttons is already a Beatles-esque album though. TSMR feels like if Sgt Pepper and The Piper at Gates of Dawn had a lovechild. I think this album is great. Psychedelic asf.

Is it among your top 10 albums ever or top 15,20,100? What Beatles record you think it might actually be better than and what Beatles records you still see as better? What year you first hear it?

What's your overall opinion on the 1967 record said to be the "most prophetic record ever created"?

just found this while trying to get my drivers license

Only took a couple of days

Anyone else listen regularly? Thoughts?? Hot take: the “My Fab 4” is a waste of air because NO ONE ever picks anything interesting. LOL. “My first song for my Fab 4 is ‘Twist And Shout’!” If I submitted my songs I’d probably get rejected. Anyone? Anyone?

I’m going to rate and explain every song on the Beatles debut album. I have never listened to a Beatles album through, and also am a very casual fan. I do not know most of these songs. I will also try to guess the singers. As I am an expert on all things music, this is to be taken as law and will henceforth be the only correct rating. Let’s begin.

I saw her standing there: funky, groovy, catchy. I think this is the Beatles debut. 9/10
Guess: Paul McCartney

Misery: yeah this pretty much sums it all up. Funky love song= Paul. Immediately after you get this song. Pain and suffering=john. Sad lyrics, happy beat. Very early sixties feel. 7.5/10
Guess:John Lennon

Anna (go to him): vocals are sick on this song. Still very groovy, I like the bass lines on this. A song I would dance with someone to. Cover I believe. Another sad song, so gotta be one person.. 8/10
Guess: John Lennon.

Chains: harmonica right out the gate is a choice. Sounds like a rhythm and blues song. Keyboard I think? Pretty cool. Another cover I think. 7/10
Guess: George Harrison

Boys: bass is really sweet on this. Backing vocals are very reminiscent of the 50s. Guitar is cool. 8/10
Guess: Is this ringo?

Ask me why: love the vocals. Very much a love song. Jazzy guitar and bass here. Ringo’s percussion really shines here
8/10
Guess: John Lennon

Please please please me: self titled track. That damn harmonica again lol. loving the chorus of voices. Great self titled track. 9/10
Guess: fuck if I know. John lennon?

Love me do: boy do they love harmonica. I actually like it a lot here. Nice vocals. Starting to really like ringo. Feels like
He drums just enough on every track. 8/10
Guess: Paul McCartney

Ps I love you: cool melody. A bit too much of a sappy song for my taste. Loved how short it was. 7/10
Guess: Paul McCartney

Baby it’s you:
really nice vocals. Like this a lot. 8/10
Guess: John Lennon

Do you want to know a secret: nice opening vocals. I really like the drumming on this one. This guy has my favorite voice so far. 9/10
Guess: George Harrison? Could be John Lennon.

A taste of honey: nice vocals. Not really my thing. Drags in my opinion. 7/10
Guess: Paul McCartney

There’s a place: I love this song. Lyrics sound like a later Beatles song. Two singers? I hear one voice I recognize so I’m going with that. Other could be any of the other three.
Guess: John Lennon

Twist and shout: one of the best closing songs on an album ever in my opinion. John Lennon puts on an amazing vocal performance. 10/10

Attic find. Fully in tact/undamaged just very dusty. Boys in the house were children in the 1960s, various other records and bits so I reckon it’s an official fan club item? Anybody have any info? UK based if it helps

I’ve been watching Anthology this week and strumming along on guitar to songs as they come up, and everything so far has been in standard guitar tuning. For all their studio experimentation and creativity, do we know if they ever experimented with alternate tunings at all?

I have been a lifetime fan of the Beatles, and I’m about to be a dad for the first time… I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on which music to play to my baby girl? Any suggestions are welcome, thank you so much :)

Edit: Thank you so much for all your responses, I didn’t expect this post to get me all emotional, but here I am, making a big playlist and happy crying

From Billboard Hot 100, at number five is the Beach Boys' "Fun, Fun, Fun"
