My favorites are sgt pepper and the mystery tour, and I always get torn between which one of them really are my favorite. Sgt pepper is better for listening start to finish imo, while the mystery tour has some of my absolute favs by them, such as fool on the hill, I am the walrus, hello goodbye, and of course strawberry fields and penny lane.
I do think these are their two best albums hands down though, with the white album as a contestant.
yeah, from a production stand point, no one could come close to what beatles or beach boys were doing those days, tbh not musically either.
and, who can listen to obladi and NOT sing or hum along to the verses!?
