    Rolling Stones - Beggar's Banquet
    The herd starts to thin somewhat by the time you get to most artist's 7th albums. Zep's run was over with Presence, a decent but not great album. AC/DC never matched the heights of Back in Black ever again. Metallica was on the downward slide.

    Of these records, Revolver stands as the most influential, rather easily. But from a matter of personal taste, Beggar's Banquet is a top 5 rock album of all time for Yella Piss. Also, it marks the start of the Stone's epic 4 album run from 1968- 72 when the were The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World.

    I love this album. I'd like to split my vote between it and Beggar's Banquet, but since I can't.

    I won't begrudge a man for going with Revolver, but not so fast on the blowout. Beggar's was just about as influential. I mean it was really the first rock record to so assertively fuse, country, delta blues and rock into one cohesive sound. And Street Fighting Man and Sympathy captured the turmoil of 1968 as well as any songs every recorded. I need to pull in Russian novel superiority guy @BearsWiin to get an easy Beggar's Banquet vote.

    I loved watching this documentary in my youth. And they were basically a 4 person group at this point as Brian Jones was pretty much dead and Mick Taylor was a year out. Apparently Ry Cooder played some on Beggar's and he is a GOD of course.

    I like to exaggerate the strength of my opinion when I have one. It's what I like to do.

    I think Revolver is my favorite Beatles but I readily acknowledge that my favorites change day to day. The strength of the tracks from John and George really stand out on this one. Paul is kind of off on a tangent on Revolver and not really making rock and roll songs. I actually dont care for Got to get you into my life or Good day sunshine at all...too featherweight for me. Eleanor Rigby and especially For no one are strong efforts with surprisingly heavy themes though.

    Everything John did on Revolver absolutely kicks ass. Taxman and Love you too rock. And your bird can sing is among my favorite Beatles tunes and the first one I ever got a perfect score on Beatles Rock Band (hard setting) so there's that in this album's favor too.

    John + Taxman made Revolver. The few weak cuts on the album are all Paul stuff. Eleanor Rigby ain't rock but it sure opened up the playbook.

    Disagree. On what basis is that not rock? That's like saying the cranberries aren't rock.

    It's rock because the Beatles were a rock and roll band and the song appeared on a Beatle's album. But it wasn't a "rock" song since there was only vocals and string section.

    Guess that's why they are the most important group of the rock era- i.e., the redefined what rock could be.
