The 70s songs "(Get Up I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine, Pt. 1", "The Payback", and "Super Bad (Parts 1 & 2)". An overload of great funk and soul music.

The Beatles - Revolver

Revolver [UK]

This album is from 1966. Revolver has more rock oriented songs than Rubber Soul. "Eleanor Rigby" is my favorite song on this album and is the standout song here. My other favorites are George Harrison's "Taxman", the John Lennon psychedelic rock song "I'm Only Sleeping", and George Harrison on the Indian style "Love to You". "Yellow Submarine", "Good Day Sunshine", "Got to Get You Into My Life", and "Tomorrow Never Knows" are more of my favorites.

The Beatles - Rubber Soul

Rubber Soul

This album from 1965 is a great album of pop and rock music. My favorite songs are "Nowhere Man", "Drive My Car", "Norweigian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)", "Think for Yourself", "The Word", and "Michelle". "What Goes On" is more of a folk rock song. I like the song "Girl" with John Lennon on vocals, as much as his 1981 hit song "Woman". Other songs here are "You Won't See Me", "Im Looking Through You", "In My Life", "Wait", "If I Needed Someone", and "Run for Your Life". I play "Think for Yourself" and "Michelle" a lot. Rubber Soul is one of their best albums with some outstanding songs.

The Beatles - Abbey Road

Abbey Road

This album is from 1969. Abbey Road has a total of 17 songs. Some of the songs near the end are only a minute or so in length. These are some of the best songs though on the album. "Come Together" and "Something" are well known songs. "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", "Oh! Darling", "Octopus's Garden", "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", "Here Comes the Sun", "Because", "You Never Give Me Your Money", and "Sun King" are all good songs. The album gets rockin' with "Mean Mr. Mustard", "Polythene Pam", "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window", and "Carry That Weight". These are all great songs and my favorites of this album. "Carry That Weight" reminds me of the songs on the Sgt. Pepper album. Abbey Road is more rock oriented than Sgt. Pepper is. Like the Sgt. Pepper album, Abbey Road should be listened to by all.
