My answer to each of those questions would most most likely keep coming back to The White Album and Sheer Heart Attack.[/QUOTE]
almost always - Abbey Rd - everything about it, musically and construction-wise is genius...sometimes Rubber Soul runs it close, for me
queen? Almost always "II" but i have occasions when i prefer "I"
your comments about "that time period" were spot-on
from Rubber Soul - Abbey Rd (65-69) they were stunning - no other band anywhere produces quality music (in such quantity) in a five year period.
7½ albums and plenty of non-album singles = 115 total songs..most of it quality

another excellent post.
i think you could be right. mainly because the musical architects of "albums" as a genre are all disappearing off the "the great gig in the sky"
there is some hope, while bands like KoL, killers and foos exist.. but sadly, there are few and further between

i love The White Album (aka The Beatles) it challenges. it's fabulous and irksome at once.
if they'd made a single album it would've been their best, but they didn't, and it wasn't

I wouldn't want to change anything about that album. It's superb as it is. For its highs and lows, and even what could be perceived as its flaws, that's what makes it imo. There's so much to it, I've never even came close to getting tired of it.

One reason was that Queens Harmonies were far superior to the Beatles. I feel the overall sound was far superior.

If I Fell
Because
Those two songs are absolute perfection.
Also bear in mind that The Beatles didn't have 16 and 24 track tape to work with.
