 The Word - Michelle - What Goes On - Girl is the worst four song run of the band's career. This is what stops Rubber Soul being a classic album for me.

 It's funny, when we did this for the Friday 5 nobody picked Norwegian Wood, but now everyone's talking about it.
I guess I’m the weirdo who thinks it’s just very good, but isn’t that big into it vs. the catalog.

Don't think so mate but Revolver has its weak moments too.

I think the Rubber Soul top 5 was about 4 weeks ago, that's a quick turnaround. ;)

I'd be amused to see my Beatles top 5 eight years later. It'll be one of those top fives that has changed drastically.

Yeah my mistake it was Hard Day's Night that you said was better than Revolver.
