Lennon once said he originally wanted to make it "Who put all that <um, excrement> in your head" because he really thought Peter Fonda was full of said excrement.
Originally Posted By vbdad55 Revolver is also my favorite Beatles Album as it really marked a turning point in the mood of the music and the world around them it represented. While I like Abbey Road- and just rebought on heavy gauge vinyl - the period marks great songwriting , but sometimes to me overproduction by George Martin and leaving their RnR roots behind some. just personal opinion from someone who loves all their stuff
Originally Posted By vbdad55 also for me "In My Life" my favorite song with me appreiating "All You Need is Love" - especially the live version more and more as I get older

(Nothing clocks in at over 3 minutes.) Side one just floors me: It kicks off with a great classic rocker (starting with some weird studio noise to let you know right away these are not the moptops any more) Then goes into an achingly sad number about loneliness with no rock instruments at all, just a string octet. Then goes into psychedelia complete with backward guitar solos. Then to an Indian-flavored song with Indian instruments and modalities. Then to an all-time classic straight-ahead love ballad. Then to what is basically a children's singalong, complete with silly sound effects. And closes with another straightforward classic rocker. And yet it all holds together somehow. And side two is just as good!
