St. Peppers?

If the Magical Mystery Tour fake album were an option, I might go with that given my affection for Beatles psychedelia, so instead I go with the glorious stew of the White Album. There's pretty much something for everyone there.
So you vote for Sandinista! over London Calling after all.

I think the best Beatles album isn't on the list. The Yellow Submarine Soundtrack is best.

Ha! But no. The Beatles didn't have an LC that was so clearly better than any other album.

Fun fact: Everything on Side 6 is more listenable than Revolution 9.

This is true. I genuinely love the White Album, but I almost always skip it.

I never skip Mensforth Hill. Seriously Rev 9 is awful.

I hardly ever skip Clash songs unless I’m impatient to hear a specific one. Even the ones I don’t like that much I still kind of like. Rev 9 is unconscionably terrible.

I've noticed that people always seem to miss the first post in these poll threads.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Actually bought PPM a few years back being inexperienced with their music. Saw Her Standing There, fair enough, great track. Do You Want to Know a Secret and Twist and Shout, good numbers. The rest was pretty wank. Overrated to hell. That includes Love Me Do, urgh.

You're out on a day trip from the funny farm aren't you?

The only track I dislike on ''Please Please Me'' is ''A Taste of Honey''. I've disliked it from first ever hearing it 'til now. But there are some great covers on that debut ''Chains'' ''Baby It's You'' are awesome songs.

The only reason that PPM seems slight now is because of what they did afterwards. It's an amazing debut that clearly blew away listeners in 1963/64.
