The Beatles - Which albums are worth listening too?

Unlike some of the greatest artists, not all their material is regarded as some of the greatest ever. It seems they only hit their stride in the mid 60s.

Which ones are worth listening too as im trying to get into them?

If you ask me, everything is worth listening to, From Please, Please Me to Let it Be. If you were to start somewhere, I'd say pick up their album "1". It has all their greatest hits and many of their songs you couldn't find on a studio album. Then I'd say pick up Abbey Road because that's their best album. My second favorite is White Album, but really you can't go wrong with anything. Most people prefer their material from Rubber Soul to Abbey Road the best, some not liking Magical Mystery Tour, but I do and I think it's one of their best.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

My favorite from the bunch

None of them.

[QUOTE="Eddie5vs1"][QUOTE="Jandurin"] Tell us.-Pred-Alien-

Aerosmith - Toys in The Attic, Rocks

Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers

Def Leppard - Hysteria,Pyromania

Queen - A Night At The Opera

Really all releases were enjoyable.

As for REM get everything from the 80's as well as Out of Time and Automatic for the People. Then pick up the best of from their later years (has a moon on the cover) and finally pick up their latest Accelerate.

All of it. Their earlier albums are kinda popy. My favorite albums by them are Abbey Road, Let It Be,Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour.

Every last one of them.

REM
Led Zeppelin- Led Zeppelin I and IV are good places to start
Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon are two of thir best albums
Queen- If you want a greatest hits album, go with ****c Queen. Most oftheir good stuff is on there.
Aerosmith- Toys in the Attic and Aerosmith are two of their better early albums
Rolling Stones (way too many albums)-My favorite is Stick Fingers, but if you want more of a greatest hits album, go with Hot Rocks
Kiss (these guys have way too many aswell!)
Megadeth- The metalheads could help you more, but I personally like Peace Sells and Rust in Peace.
Def Leppard
Bob Marley

Ive got a much longer list, but many of them have short discographies or feature prominently throughout the Rolling Stones 500 Great Albums

My recommendations are in green.

BTW, can anyone else give me recommendations for these bands?-Pred-Alien-

REM Murmur and Reckoning (their first two albums) are their best. Automatic for the People has recieved quite a lot of critical acclaim as well but I'm not a massive fan.

Led ZeppelinI - IV are all regarded as classics - as are Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti. I don't really like Zeppelin anymore. III is my favourite (and the only one I really listen to these days) but IV is generally regarded as their best.

Pink FloydDark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here are regarded as their best albums.

QueenI don't like Queen but A Night at the Opera is regarded as their best studio album.

Aerosmith/Not Worth your time

Rolling Stones (way too many albums) You're right, The Rolling Stones have such a huge discography that they can be hard to get into. Their best album is Exile on Main Street. If you're going to get one that should be the one you get. If you're going to get two get that and Sticky Fingers. But both of those albums, Aftermath, Between the Buttons, Beggars Banquet and Let it Bleed are all essential Rolling Stones albums.

Kiss (these guys have way too many aswell!) Don't bother with Kiss

Megadeth or these guys

Def Leppard or these guys either

Bob Marley Legend

As for Beatles albums, everything post-Help! up until (and including) Abbey Road is essential. Well, apart from the Yellow Submarine album.

and to be honest there are far better artists on the Rolling Stone top 500 list (which is a pretty poor list by the way) than the ones you listed. Like Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, Love, The Beach Boys, Neil Young, Tom Waits, The Band, Patti Smith, Captain Beefheart,the Zombies, Television, Talking Heads, Joy Division, The Stooges... Check some of those guys out too.

Also, on a slightly unrelated note, why is the word "cl.ass" forbidden on here? :?

Just get the red and blue albums, all their best songs are there.

D: I like animals, the wall, and dark side of the moon for pink floyd. I've not really listened to their other stuff much.Jandurin

All of the beatles albums (minus the Yellow Submarine soundtrack) are worth listening to.

That will change in an hour's time though, right? :xsuper_mario_128
