50th anniversary of The Beatles' "Rubber Soul" - December 3rd

[ck105 178]

Any fans of "Rubber Soul" by The Beatles?  How has it held up after 50 years?  Where would you rank it in the Beatles' discography?  Hard to believe it's so old, but the music is still timeless.

I doubt most of these Little Whores will have heard of it. 

It's one of my faves apart from Yellow Submarine and Abbey Road.

Abbey Road > Revolver > SPLHCB > the rest

I haven't gotten into it yet. It's my next one to absorb and delve into.   Sometimes it takes me a while to discover a new Beatles album that clicks because of the mixture of styles on some.  Hearing that streaming starts Christmas Eve gives me a chance to really listen to more Beatles.

Revolver finally clicked huge for me a while back, and I've been listening to it a lot.  Abbey Road was the same way after listening to it every once in a while a few years back and one night, bam, it was like how did I never hear how brilliant it is.  I always loved  Magical Mystery Tour.

I recently got into Paul's solo album, Ram.  Wow.  I love it.  It's considered the first indie album ever.  History has been much kinder to it.  I love all the styles and the different styles of his voice and the hominess of the album.  Paul was very depressed over The Beatles breaking up and was only 27 at the time and retreated to his Scottish farm.  Such melodies.
