Any Beatles Fans Here? — Page 2

Pretty big Beatles fan here! Curious if people here are more fans of the earlier (Love me do, please please me, etc.) or later (Penny Lane, Let it Be) Beatles. I love both, but would say I prefer the later ones. My absolute favorite songs are from the later albums; especially Abbey Road and Magical Mystery Tour. White album has a few of my favorites too.

I used to be a huge fan of the Beatles a few years ago, but, while I still like them, I only marginally like them now. I used to prefer their later stuff but now I prefer their earlier stuff. I sometimes feel that their later stuff was a bit too out there (which I think was what they were going for, but the point still stands.

Also I could never get into the Stones. I like a handful of their songs and the rest I couldn’t care less about.

There’s a lot of other artists who fall under this category of “I listened to a few of their songs and stopped caring, either because the songs mostly sound the same or I’m not a huge fan of their style”, including Simon & Garfunkel, Don McLean, The Animals, and many, many more. This doesn’t mean I dislike them per se, but more that I just can’t truly get into them and become a fan.

I used to think I liked the Beatles. Then as I grew older and started listening to music other than what my parents listened to/was on the radio, I came to realize I really didn’t.

I don’t much care for '60s-'70s rock in general anymore. Except Gerry Rafferty; he’s the main exception.

Definitely one of my favorite bands. Rubber Soul’s my favorite album of theirs. “In My Life” and “Nowhere Man” are currently my two favorite songs of theirs. George Harrison is probably my favorite of the four, although John Lennon’s a close second.

Rubber Soul is fantastic. I’m partial to Michelle on that one, and I agree In My Life is top notch Beatles. What’s everyone else’s favorite album? Considering the album as a whole, I’d say Sgt. Pepper. (Also because it contains my favorite song, A Day in the Life)
