Rigby. Or Rain if you count the single not on the album. Rather thought of this album was where guitar based indie  type music originated. Except for E. Rigby and the psych stuff.Lost of Fine tune there.

Oh having the US and UK remastered versions circulating should not cause many problems - should it?

Wonder when the box set of hi res versions will emerge. TNK does it...

I know what you mean - but I think that Rubber Soul in itself was one a big leap from its predecessor. The opening quartet of songs off RS comfortably match its counterparts from Revolver (IMHO).

I love Revolver, and think it's a giant leap from their previous album.
My fav from this album is I'm Only Sleeping, I just love it's slow sleepy rhythm, quite psychedelic.

TNK without question - and that's not even 'jumping on the bandwagon'......
Love all the album except Yellow Submarine (though I like Ringo's snare sound on this track). Close call with Taxman.

I'm quite partial to George's contributions on that LP; 'I Want to Tell You' and 'Taxman' superb.   John's TNK also great.

Strangely enough, I've never come to like "Eleanor Rigby" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" ... for anything ... for anything.

Other than that, so many great songs on the album. I'll vote for the one that didn't get a vote and has been quite a large part of my life, like many other Beatles songs (can't believe my life is that large) - "Doctor Robert". So psychedelic. That organ and that riff ... just the music ... s$%t.

Wow such a great assortment of pop prog songs---(sort of like the new Yes album Heaven and EarthBig smile) voted 
Tomorrow Never Knows!

But it's a tough choice as there are so many great one's--Eleanor Rigby for one.

Eleanor Rigby is, to my ears, simply perfect.

Nah. You just have to do penance. 12 hours of non-stop Justin Bieber listening.      Of course, hari kari might be more humane.
