I recently acquired The Beatles’ complete catalogue and I’m glad I did. I forgot just how great these guys were/are. What I’ve enjoyed most is listening to the less well-known – at least, to myself – songs which never received the reception and airplay that the likes of “Yesterday”, “Help!”, “Eleanor Rigby” and the likes did and still do receive. Listening to the albums so far, I have to say my newly-favourite Beatles’ album is Rubber Soul with Revolver being a close second. - Apparently I’m not alone as both albums were ranked very highly in numerous polls on the greatest albums of all time such as Rolling Stone’s where Revolver was placed third behind The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, and Rubber Soul was just back in fifth behind Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited.
Previously, I’d heard only the main hits of these albums and am glad to have finally been exposed to the likes of “I’m looking through you”, “Wait”, “Run for your life”, “I’m only sleeping”, and “Good Day Sunshine”.
Which leads to today’s song of the day, which is “Good Day Sunshine” from The Beatles’ seventh album, Revolver. It’s a perky, up-beat, whimsical song which contrasts perfectly with some of the more darker, serious pieces on the album such as “Eleanor Rigby”.
Enjoy~! As I also leave you with a poll asking you what is your favourite Beatles’ album.
