Yes, fifty years ago the Beatles masterwork was released.

Just my opinion, but I enjoy Rubber Soul more.

It has been suggested that Rubber Soul and Revolver should’ve been released as a double album. Don’t know why, but that’s what I’ve read here & there.

I think I have 99% of what the Beatles recorded (studio stuff) on my iPod. They are, to me, the greatest band of all time.

Others will disagree.

Others’ disagreement is most welcome, but it won’t change my mind.

The 3 middle period Beatle albums Help, Rubber Soul and Revolver are the group at their peak. They moved beyond their Beatlemania days and started to push pop and rock in new directions.

Rubber Soul - no question it’s better than Revolver.

It’s a great album but I hold Abbey Road and Sgt Pepper higher.

Part of the problem with Revolver (at least for American fans) is that it was released here in a truncated version, missing three key Lennon tunes (Dr. Robert, And Your Bird Can Sing, and I'm Only Sleeping), which were culled from the UK version by Capitol to pad out the slapped together monstrosity, Yesterday.. And Today. So we never got to hear Revolver in all of its lyric glory until years later, when the Parlophone versions of Beatles LPs replaced all of the Capitol albums.

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

Well...no, not in my humble opinion. There are records by other artists I prefer (e.g. Elvis Costello 'This Year's Model', Allman Bros. 'Live At Fillmore East'). 'Revolver' is somewhere in my top 5, however, and I think it's definitely the Best Beatles Record Ever.

It’s one of many that are ‘the best’ albums of all time- the others being EVERY OTHER BEATLES ALBUM!

I am amazed there is not an ‘all Beatles’ channel on Sirrius XM (satellite radio- you should get it if you don’t have it)
