A Hard Day's Night is one of my favourites. I don't know each album too well though. I prefer their Rock and Roll stuff.

A Hard Day's Night is one of my favourites. I don't know each album too well though. I prefer their Rock and Roll stuff.

I love their early rock albums. Every track was so damn good. After Help their output became uneven and pretentious (but with some diamonds in the rough). It's fashionable to prefer their druggie period but it's less to my taste on the whole.

A sampling of their early genius...
