Is the Beatles’ ‘Revolver’ the Best Rock Record Ever?

I’ll take Yes over ELP. Close to the Edge is their masterpiece.

[headstamp 2]

No, that would be Led Zeppelin IV

[IronJack]

Short answer? No.

Longer answer? HELL no!

They call is Stormy Monday
But Tuesday’s just as bad
Lord, and Wednesday’s worse
And Thursday’s all so sad
The eagle flies on Friday
Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church
Gonna get down on my knees and pray

[Yo-Yo]

For rock, these two would top my list:

...the first time I ever heard a synthesizer used in a song.

Slight rabbit trail to the topic, but with the mention of synthesizers this is worth reading...

The 40 Year Friendship: Bob Moog and David VanKoevering

[God luvs America]

semi-correct as every Zeppelin album kicks butt but PG is considered by most the top vinyl of all time...

[BBB333]

I never really got into ‘Bug’ music. That being said I so have multiple albums of theirs.

I purchased ‘Bug 1’s’ and after 20 minutes I had to turn it off! Had to have a beer in quiet...

I’ll vote for Tower Of Power’s What Is Hip? album, with a 2nd to The Crusaders Southern Comfort (OK - the Crusaders are not ‘rock’ I’ll admit that).

NOT trying to hijack the post, just sharing my thoughts...

Weekend starts at 5:00 PM local time! Perhaps I should start to play ‘Bug 1’s at 4:40 PM?

I love Sell Out and Who's Next, but I luuurve Quadrophenia. It evokes such an emotional response in me--the words, the music, the passion demonstrated by four great performers at the top of their game. I think I shall listen to it again right now!

There’s several streaming Beatles channels on iTunes (free radio), like Beatlesmania........

[PhiloBedo]

Stormy Monday, but tuesday’s just as bad.....

[steve8714]

Don’t care, prefer Foreigner and Sammy Hagar.

[steve8714]

A fine guitar band with a crappy singer; much like Guns n Roses.

[dfwgator]

Well considering your Freeper handle it’s obvious. ;)

I love Quadrophenia too, I just think there’s just a bit too much filler on it.

That’s what made Who’s Next great is that it did get stripped down from Pete’s original “Lifehouse” concept. I just think Quad could have used it as well.

[PhiloBedo]

er..that’s Beatles-a-rama

[PhiloBedo]

Sunday I go to church, and get down on my knees and pray

[Red Badger]

It’s only Teenage wasteland.............

Wednesday is worst
...and Thursday’s oh so sad
