    This one should be a blowout.

    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 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.
