looks like others beat me to the punch, but like WHAT THE FUCK?!

Rubber Soul and Revolver, probably the greatest 1A and 1B albums of all time. You have some homework, son.

Okay, let’s put this to the test. Name three amazing songs on those albums that never made the compilations and wasn’t a regular spin on oldies radio.

It's more about listening to the record as created by the artist, every album is an artistic statement and especially for a group as awesome as the Beatles, it's criminal to not know which songs are on which albums, or to not even know a large portion of their material.

Also not sure how deep the compilations go that you have listened to, but I would certainly say that Norwegian Wood, In My Life, Here There and Everywhere, and Tomorrow Never Knows are essential.

Assuming you have an iTunes or Spotify subscription, one of the beautiful things about them is that you can go back and listen to every album by an artist in the correct order, at your own leisure, and at no extra cost.

As the thread title says, NO EXCUSES, NO LIMITS!

And I say that as someone who was not into the Beatles growing up (felt like I was being force fed boomer culture) but got into them much later an album at a time, exposing myself to the context surrounding the work

These are just two of the ones I had. I had several.



But apologies to the crew - Tax Man was on one of them. Guess it wasn’t something that caught my attention back then - I wasn’t paying taxes! Great times.

I started exploring and getting into them when I started college. I still remember listening nonstop to their CDs driving to U of T every day. I have fond memories of those drives because of the music I was finding at the time.
 
See I just listened to Octopus’s Garden and, probably just like 18 year old me felt, I was like meh. I don’t necessarily need to hear that again.

I’ve always thought The Beatles’ catalogue could be separated into three tiers - masterpiece, good but not super compelling, and meh. This one falls into meh.

You take that back! Ringo only wrote 2 songs for the Beatles, and this was the better one! You can't tell much about a song only hearing it once, either (IMO). Also, the Beatles only have 4 or 5 songs in the entire catalog I would call meh.
