We were returning from our honeymoon when we heard "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" for the first time. Right away I knew things were changing. Beatlemania just took over NYC and the rest of the country. I loved it. But it took until "Rubber Soul" was released in '65 for critics to recognize that the Beatles were serious composers and musicians, not just the Moptops. "Rubber Soul," IMO, is their best--maybe the best pop album ever recorded.


No doubt Rubber Soul is great and I think most critics would agree with you TB (Norwegian Wood, Run For Your Life, etc couple of my favorites). However in my opinion it's the White Album that I like best. Such a large selection of mostly "Great" songs.
