This was Sean's pick, because Sean's lifelong mission is to get me into the Beatles. Yes, I am one of those outliers who never found my way in. You can throw your stones at me, or do the whole, "dude, how? It's the Beatles," thing, but there are others like me. They just hide in the shadows. I'm out here admitting it. Anyway, the ratio of barn burners to silly/campy songs on this record was much more to my liking than Sgt. Pepper's, which was Sean's last attempt at selling me on the Beatles. And I will say that "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is one of the greatest songs of all time. I previously thought that was a George solo record song and had no idea it actually appeared as part of the Beatles' catalog. If I had to pick a second favorite, it'd probably be "Happiness is a Warm Gun" and I may have been pushed toward bias upon learning that Radiohead borrowed the structure for "Paranoid Android".

I’ll keep fighting the good fight!
