RUBBER SOUL

For me, this is the place where all got started (and not overrated Sgt. Pepper): expansion of music with different influences, studio experiments, early psychedelic design of the cover, and above all amazing song writing. Sitar sounds in "Norwegian Wood", wonderful vocal harmonies in "Girl" and "Nowhere Man", European classical touches in "Michelle", all show that something irreversible is happening: a progressive widening of sources and influences that would start infiltrating the simple template of the known rock'n'roll song format. "Rubber Soul" is one of the most important albums in rock history and one of the Beatles' best works.
