Roll Up! Roll Up for the Mystery Tour!

This one is hard for me. MMT is a sold album all the way through. The White Album, on the other hand, is a decent Beatles album with some amazing songs. I don't know what to do :confused:.

Edit: I decided to vote for MMT. What I did was take the 11 best songs from the White Album and compared them with the songs in MMT. I liked the MMT songs better so it got my vote.

[fuselage321]

The Magical Mystery Tour is waiting to take you away, so hop on and vote for it:D

[DookieMan]

I haven't properly listened to the White Album yet... So I don't know. But...

REVOLVER WON!

FUN FACT: It's All Too Much was slated for being in Magical Mystery Tour, but was taken out.

Another fun fact (that most people here probably already know). Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane were slated for Sgt. Pepper's but were taken out.

Seriously, man? Quoting your own whining post with another sad face? You really didn't need to do that. Just because people aren't quoting on it and feeling bad for you doesn't mean people aren't noticing it.

The same with Only A Northern Song.

I am very distraught that you somehow turned into a troll virtually overnight. :(

It's also weird how RADIOCHRIS turned into a normal user after the game was released.

[fuselage321]

Ok, Ill stop, R2R, but this is not the last you'll see of me my pretty.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!

Reference gets a cookie:D

(its not tootsie rolls)

[DookieMan]

Was he really even a troll? Or would he just say Real Love all the time? I found it entertaining.

[fuselage321]

It was Real Love, all the Real time.

It was pretty funny;)

[HotMangoChutney]

Even though it's not a true Beatles album, I still voted for MMT (it was put together by Capitol Records -- NOT the group itself...well, not the second side, at least), since it has fewer weaker spots overall.

Hello Goodbye, Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, Baby You're A Rich Man, and All You Need Is Love wasn't put together by the band?

[fuselage321]

No, it was not.

I know, its wird, but only side one was organized and decided on by The Beatles

[Marvelfan13]

I like a lot of the songs in The White Album, but the songs on Magical Mystery Tour are just awesome!

The Beatles

[chumsicles]

Poor MMT. I love that album and don't think it deserves to be eliminated so early, but it's going up against the greatest Beatles album

[FireFox516]

Gonna have to go with the "White Album" on this one. While "Magical Mystery Tour" is a fantastic album, the White Album gets extra points for having the sheer zaniness and "helter-skelter" array of different sounding songs (see what I did there?). The variation in songs are strange (Baroque, Metal, Folk, Avant Garde, and Classic rock all on the SAME album? Dang!) but definitely stretched what artists could achieve on a record at the time.

Of course, that's just my opinion. :)

[pelemerengue]

These are most likely my two favorite Beatles albums.

Magical Mystery Tour was the first Beatles album I genuinely enjoyed from beginning to end (Sgt. Pepper is good, of course, but I never geeked out over it like some of my friends did). For a long time, I considered "Flying" my favorite Beatles song.

But The White Album is the reason I became a "Beatles fan". The sheer bulk of great music is enough to cement its position in my head as the definitive Best Beatles Album of All-Time. There are what, 30 songs on the album? And only a couple of them are worth skipping? Those are great odds.

You've got pop McCartney at his catchiest ("Back in the USSR", "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da"), sentimental McCartney at his least sappy ("Blackbird", "I Will") and finally, brilliant McCartney being more playful, strange, and enjoyable than ever ("Wild Honey Pie", "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?", "Helter Skelter"). On past and future Beatles records, his schmaltz would irk me to no end -- here, he consistently delivers his best work.

Absolutely every Lennon song on the album is fantastic. The more subdued songs that everyone's familiar with are good, yeah ("Dear Prudence", "Julia", "Sexy Sadie") but there's nothing like hearing Lennon at his most desperate ("I'm So Tired", "Yer Blues"), or his least commercial ("The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill", "Revolution 9"). Here Lennon writes not just a definitive Lennon song ("Revolution 1"), but also the definitive White Album song ("Happiness is a Warm Gun").

And besides Lennon/McCartney at their individual best, you've got four great tracks by Harrison that can stand with (or in front of) anything else on the album. Even Ringo contributes his own jaunty tune.

It's the album that marks the destruction of The Beatles as the cohesive and like-minded Fab Four and presents them instead as John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Individual entities exploring individual interests within and without The Beatles.

And it's because of this that The White Album shines as the most expressive, most unusual, and personally, most appealing Beatles album.


So, uh, guess which one I voted for.

I have nothing further to add to this spectacular post. X2.

[CaptainKicker]

Tough one. I'll vote Magical Mystery Tour since it was my first album i bought + i listen to it more than White Album.

[Veganpunk]

Great post pelemerengue. That's about the way I feel, and voted.


I still can't get over Revolver beating SP.

[I'm Not The Walrus]

Not only is the White Album a musical achevment, it is also amazing.

[DookieMan]

So, Abbey Road and Let It Be next?

[hannie3000]

I voted for MMT, cos I like all the songs on that album vs a lot less on the White Album. >:

[LimaoxD]

I think its a little unfair..
11 songs vs 30!
36:49 vs 93:35

But ALL the songs on Magical Mystery Tour are Amazing. Its for me a 100% album! My favorite along Sgt Pepper's (Very sad about the previous round).
I will vote for MMT, even with 25 (gazillions) (and growing) votes of diference.

Go Magical Mystery Tour!

[meuterei]

Nothing even compares to the White Album, as far as I'm concerned. I'd not only call it the best Beatles album, but also the best album of the 60s.
