What 'best of' are you referring to you? I own Beatles Past Masters vol 1 & 2 but there's not enough songs on there to be truly representative. I also have 1962-1966 (Red Album) and 1967-1970 (Blue Album). Both Red and Blue are double albums so there's a lot of songs and it's probably the best 'greatest hits' package out there. But there's too much stuff missing. I also have 1 (#1 singles collections), hugely popular but flawed in a sense that a lot ob best Beatles songs didn't necessarily reach number one. The Beatles are in my top 5 bands so obviously each album is amazing. As far as the favourite goes it depends but if I really had to choose I'd go with the White Album. But for someone that's just getting started I'd recommend Rubber Soul or A Hard Day's Night (the best of the early Beatles). Slash once called Use Your Illusions the Guns' version of the White Album. "Maybe not as good," he said. No Slash, even better! Beatles ranked (some are interchangeable): White Album Revolver Rubber Soul Sgt.

I thought of it as some sort of GH package because it does contain a lot of hits. Edited September 8, 2020 by Sisyphus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually point out that fact to whatever poor bastard is watching it with me too. I always took that as part of the joke. I.e. a real Beatles fan would know there wasn't a best of, so saying that just made it even more stupid than not knowing your favourite album, if you know what I mean. On topic, I'd love to see a photo of Axl's vinyl collection and the vinyl player / sound system, that interests me almost as much as what bands he likes.

Alan Antimatter Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 Is Axl a fan of the Foo Fighters? Also, I'm sure he said he was into Infectious Grooves and Dogs D'Amour once? I also remember, he was into Thunder's Backstreet Symphony when that came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXL_N_DIZZY Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Some great research/compilation work here. Thank you! Have always wondered what (if any) influence classical composers have had on Axl. Vivaldi and Beethoven (particularly on Chinese) come to mind to me as a listener- but of course could be waaaaaay off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Boy Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I read on A4D recently, a band being mentioned which was basically the sound they wanted for Appetite. I had never heard the band before but gave it a listen. And now I can't remember its name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
