A Toast to Cashing-In

In honour of iTunes now being able to makes lots of money off The Beatles, I thought I would offer an un-reasoned, but absolutely correct opinion as to their best album.  And the winner is….

Rubber Soul

It may not have the stand-out songs of Let It Be, and it may not have the musical influence of Sergeant Peppers or The White Album, but it is the best taken as an album in totality.   There isn’t a duff/embarrassing song on there and most stand the test of time. You can just sit back and listen to this fast-paced album right from beginning to end. The band seems completely at ease with their song-writing with all original songs and no pseudo-spirituality-  just a band doing what it does best.    

And that’s the final word.
