Do you prefer the Red Album (1962–1966) or the Blue Album (1967–1970)?

In true NSC fashion no has yet answered the question directly so I will!

Blue (1967-1970) shows the transition from a Pop Group singing 3 minute chart stuff to some of the most game changing music of the 20th Century.

I quite like the earlier stuff but it really doesn't compare....

Thought you might appreciate this Mr Dick Head. He's even got a cock on his head. This is not a dig, I am often called Dicky, so I need sympathy.

It's all game changing, from the beginning of the Red to the end of the Blue

White Album is my favourite. Followed by Let it Be which is the most underrated of all their albums

Funny how we all see things differently, I quite like the Beatles but I think Let it Be is an overrated pile of shite, with the piece de resistance being the 2nd biggest dirge of all time Let it Be ( the biggest dirge ever is another McCartney offering Mull of Kintrye)

For me Let it Be is an album that shouts a band in disarray and out of ideas.

My personal favourite is Revolver

I can't decide between the Red and the Blue, both are good albums with great songs and forgettable ones but they are the soundtrack of a great band.

So true, let it be is a dreadful song.

If you do not like The Beatles you do not understand popular music

In this order:

Abbey Road (especially the second side, which is about as good as it gets)
The White Album
Revolver
Rubber Soul and Sgt Peppers

On this basis, the blue beats the red.

I concur wholeheartedly :thumbsup:

I don't much care for the album, but like the song. See my other post for favourites.
