Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour vs Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

[Low G]

which album do u think is better?

[jbl514]

i feel like magical mystery tour is better, despite the fact that everyone and there mother's considers Sgt. Pepper to be the greatest album ever made.

some of the singles off MMT are the greatest songs ever recorded, the only weak tracks are Flying and Blue Jay Way, and those are only weak when comparing them to other Beatles songs.

[Low G]

u didnt like Flying? thats one of the best instrumentals ever...

Blue Jay Way is a trippy fukkin song too

[Priest B. Pimpish]

Magical Mystery Tour. Which is also my favorite Beatles album.

Too many hits on that album.

[War Word]

I love Blue Jay Way.

Its crazy.

I would take Magical Mystery Tour over Sgt Peppers(but its close)

[DaShadiestBro]

Abbey Road and Revolver are better IMO than either of those.

[Liquid 2.0]

of the two, I'd say Sgt. Pepper without question.

But I think "Revolver" and "The Beatles"(aka White Album) are above and beyond the best Beatles' albums.

2.Revolver
3.Rubber Soul
4.Magical mystery tour
5.Sgt Peppers
6.Hard Days Night
7.Abbey Road
8.Please Please me
9.help

But i love all those albums

"come ALLLL the Magical Mystery Tour"

Magical Mystery Tour song > Sgt. Pepper Song(the outro version is funky though)

other than that i would say its a draw....

but wasn't "Stawberry Fields" and about half the B-Side songs off of Magical Mystery takeouts/left over tracks from the Sgt Pepper Lonely Hearts Club recording sessions??

either way both albums are chill as !kcuf

[Mic Soloist]

I love them both but I probably like MMT better. The Fool On The Hill is one of my fav songs ever.

Every Beatles album is pretty much perfect to me though.

[Elnicky]

Magical Mystery Tour

[John 0'sofresh]

yeah listening to MMT in headphones is something else

damn Ringo musta been on some crank banging like that on "Strawberry Fields"..dude banging hell out the drum set....the music is so dope


i know McCartney recently admitted to doing coke during this era of the bad...dude probably still does every once and a while with his model girlfriend(coke and cigarettes..a models favorite).....The Walrus is dope too!

[John 0'sofresh]

i gotta go with Sgt. Peppers Lonley Hearts Club Band

even though both albums are evenly matched..the sequencing of Sgt Pep. his amazing and the flow of the album is better IMO

[W_F_A]

cant even call it

[ghost9]

Sgt. Pepper's is winning the vote, but damn near everyone who is posting is saying MMT.


It's like this. MMT was basically just a compilation of various tracks and B-sides that The Beatles couldn't find an album for. So they just put them together, recorded a few new songs, and called it The Magical Mystery Tour.

Now, no question there are some classic tracks on MMT (Some of The Beatles best IMO), but, if looking at an album as an artform, meaning that the entire album is one piece of art, then Sgt. Pepper's is vastly superior.

Conclusion= A concise, direct effort (Sgt. Pepper's)>>>> a Compilation.
