Their music doesn't really get great until Rubber Soul imo.

They def had bops before Rubber Soul. But they reached a whole new level of creativity when they became potheads

if u dont fw this medley idk what 2 tell u

but the fact the closest thing u had to put up against the beatles was doja cat is concerning

if u only listen to modern music then i get why beatles would sound super dusty for sure though cause u may not have a frame of reference like someone who already listened to a bunch of 60s and 70s s***

the highs on pre-Rubber Soul albums are high af though imo

Twist and Shout
And I Love Her
Cant Buy Me Love
Help!
Ticket To Ride
Yesterday
All My Loving

but as far as whole albums you're right a lot of the early s*** was mid af and got left out of the canon lol

good luck @op make sure to listen to the key non-album tracks too. ie I Want to Hold Your Hand, I Feel Fine, We Can Work it Out, Paperback Writer, Rain, Don't let Me Down, etc.

early albums still better than Let It Be

tbh i think a lot of people do underrate those albums a little bit, I think if you're not as familiar with a context of the times it can seem too simple and you might not understand what makes it special or good at all (especially the covers). and theyre all certainly in the canon of western popular music without a doubt even if not considered part of the peak. id still give em all like a 8/10 but I would have rated them lower years ago

Agreed, A Hard Day’s Night in particular is up there with their best

Help has some awful sequencing but the core songs are AMAZING and you can already see the craftsmanship improving. Hard Day's Night is more solid but those top songs on Help are as good as their best work.

If Beatles for Sale was a 6 track EP it would be a masterpiece
