The Beatles Album Poll

The Beatles


​

Yeah it's true we didn't have a proper thread for the lads from Liverpool. So I decided to Correct that oversight. I'm not going to do a big introduction, we can fill up the thread easily enough I'm sure. I have posted all of the albums in my collection in the collage above, with the exception of two compilations that I'll get to later. The Beatles were a very important band for me, they opened the door to the endless possibilities in rock music in the late 60's, and I'll always have a soft spot for them.

For many of our younger members, I understand if they don't "Get It", us older fans tend to rave on and on about some of our favorites from decades ago. But I do think all music fans should at least recognize the importance of their contributions, not the screaming fainting girls, but just the gift of the great music they left for us.

I am adding a poll, I will list all the albums I posted and am just curious to see which ones are in most of our members libraries.(If I have missed any you think should be added please let me know.)

The screaming fainting girls were just a bonus!



The Canadian "equivalents" to the first few albums in your poll are "Beatlemania", "Twist and Shout" and "Long Tall Sally", which are the ones I own as well as the others.

Thanks Fox, post the covers if you have them, I saw numerous different ones when I was searching for mine. That always amazed me how they would release different named albums that were usually identical song wise to the original ones.

All the ones I posted are from the "Remastered" box set released a few months ago, but I just downloaded the covers from various sites rather than scan my own, being I'm lazy today.

 

[FoxyPage]

The only one I have is 1 (their #1 songs collection).

Nothing wrong with a compilation of their biggest hit songs Foxy.

 

[Zombeels]

All the above including those Canadian releases.

I already know your fave Zombeels seeing you and Fox have had a running convo in your 100 favorites list.

I used to have Twist & Shout on vinyl but it's gone in a fire years ago along with many other treasures.
