First time I've heard an entire Beatles studio album. And it was much much better than I expected.

Abbey Road: A+

I had heard Come Together, Something and Here Comes the Sun before and liked them but the stand out tracks on that albums for me was definitely Oh! Darling and I Want You (She's So Heavy). Never heard McCartney sing like in Oh! Darling, I am starting to see why people were sad they ended it here.

Also I couldn't really tell where one song started and another ended from about You Never Give Me Your Money but it was all good. At what point did Beatles stop playing Love Me Do songs and start playing well?

Listening to the radio, one of my favourite hosts is on and he's crying while pushing just Bowie numbers.

I feel the tears coming on.

Changes.

Tina Turner and David Bowie - Tonight

One of the best duets in history.

Been listening to the Blackstar album. It's a bit odd, but pretty cool.

:huh: Just remind us, how old are you, Liep? And you never listened to a full studio album by the Beatles? kids these days  :rolleyes:

For a serious answer to your question, from Rubber Soul onwards they reached top notch quality, although there are several good to great songs in Help! and For Sale, too.
And if you consider Abbey Road an A+, then I'll wait for your votes on Rubber Soul, SPLHCB, Revolver and the White Album.

I've never listened to a full Beatles studio album either. I do have a compilation double album I've listened to.

My parents' album collection consisted mostly of Danish left wing music (it was pretty good though, "Røde Mor", etc.), some classical music predominately performed by the Bolshoi orchestra and a Bowie compilation LP that I played til it could play no more.

So it happens pretty often that I run into an artist that I can't believe my parents didn't play for me 15-25 years ago, this year it's the Beatles and Paul Simon, last year it was Miles Davis and The Smiths and not that many years ago it was Tom Waits who's now my all time favourite artist.

My parents never played albums for us, except Mannheim Steamroller on Christmas morning.
