But, they went well with the recommended reading material. :-) I still think I favor Rubber Soul. I can see your point, however. - M I had not actually planned to listen to all of Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt Pepper’s after my comment last night.

It was not until Revolver that the full, disruptive extent of the band's creativity (and that of the visionaries George Martin and Geoff Emerick, whose input was, I think, as important as the band's) became apparent. There were innovations, to be sure, on <em>Rubber Soul</em>, but the world had simply never heard anything, for example, like <em>Tomorrow Never Knows</em>, which was an abrupt break with everything that had ever happened in a recording studio before. I do love <em>Rubber Soul</em>, though. What a great record. Hi Mike,

Rubber Soul is a splendid album, and the song In My Life is a perennial contender in “best song of all time” polls, but while RS was an important step in the Beatles’ musical journey, it was still embedded an earlier musical and technological tradition. It was not until Revolver that the full, disruptive extent of the band’s creativity (and that of the visionaries George Martin and Geoff Emerick, whose input was, I think, as important as the band’s) became apparent. There were innovations, to be sure, on Rubber Soul, but the world had simply never heard anything, for example, like Tomorrow Never Knows, which was an abrupt break with everything that had ever happened in a recording studio before.

I do love Rubber Soul, though. What a great record.

My 2 cents. - M That’s a great find, but Rubber Soul is better than Revolver.
