My Greatest 100 (or so) Albums...

Rubber Soul and Revolver (Capitol, 1965 and 1966) This is where the Beatles stopped issuing collections of singles and became phenomenal album artists. It's also where their weird creative/competitive loop with Brian Wilson really started challenging ideas about pop music and album art. We'll see more of the Beatles as we go on, but their absence so far has clearly left people pondering. Listen to them again.
