i voted no, though i am uncertain (there was no choice for uncertainty)…if i were to compile a list of my 100 favorite albums, i don’t know if Rubber Soul would make it…i’m obviously leaning toward the negative, but i really don’t know.
fuck, growing out your nails for finger picking makes it really difficult to tyhpe…
I voted no, but I like too much other music to include all the Beatles albums I like. Rubber Soul is good but to me it’s a ‘tip of the iceberg’ sort of album: it’s good on its own but it hints at the greatness to come. Sorta how I feel about Radiohead’s The Bends and Can’s Monster Movie.
its not even in my top 10,000 albums
To anyone who votes no: I’d like to see a list posted of 100 albums that you have listened to and enjoy more than Rubber Soul.
that’s a significant endeavor that i have no interest in undertaking.
Is it?
it is! i swear!
I love it. Its in my top 10, its my email address.
absolutely.
half the album is the best songs you’ve ever heard.
but Abbey Road, Sgt Pepper and Let It Be are my favorite Beatles albums followed by let’s say…the White Album, Revolver, Rubber Soul and A Hard Day’s Night (that’s right).
and its so crazy that this is the first thread i see upon my first login in 5 days. I haven’t heard this album in months until my friend put it on in the car today while we were driving back from Tallahassee.
now i’m freaked out.
I could put together such a list, but what would be the point?? Would you go through my list and try to argue that I was wrong??
It’s personal opinion, maaaaaan. I love the Beatles but that doesn’t mean all of their albums are in my top 100 albums.
I just want to see which albums you have ahead of Rubber Soul.
You know, so I could like voice my opinion and stuff.
Hmm…I don’t have a clue what would end up in my Top 100 albums but when I do think of the list, Rubber Soul doesn’t really pop in my brain first. I tend to like the Beatles more as the whole of their collective work, rather than individual albums blowing me away. I mean I like many of the songs on there but as an album? Hard to say. I mean, I’d put many many Floyd albums above it…same with almost every Moody Blues album, many Phish albums, many Dylan albums, many Stones albums, every Doors album, every Zeppelin album, etc. By Beatles standards I think Sgt Pepper, Revolver, White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be are all better Beatles albums that I would rank above it.
So, no, it probably wouldn’t end up on my list. But in the end, I’d have to make the list since maybe I’d run out of albums and just throw it into the end to even out 100 which isn’t exactly a glowing recommendation. I mean, 100 is a lot of albums…

Would it be 101? 
I don’t know about my 100 top albums, but Revolver and the White Album probably beat out Rubber Soul. If Rubber Soul didn’t contain In My Life, I think Sgt. Pepper and the Help! Soundtrack might also top it.
To be frank (but not to be Frank Stallone), there are a lot of albums ahead of Rubber Soul in my personal list. I like Let It Be, Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Sgt. Pepper’s, Revolver, and Abbey Road better than Rubber Soul.
If you really want me to make up a list of my top 100 albums, I will, because I’m just that music nerdy.
I love the music on MMT, but I don’t think it really counts as an album. It’s really an EP with a bunch of singles and some random stuf
No, that’s reserved for this:
And you though Lennon was looking right at you on Rubber Soul…

I own this on vinyl and I find it hypnotic and scary to look at.
^ Awesome album. Cale produced I believe. Not as popular as Chelsea Girl, but a bit weirder and more in tune to my tastes.
