In this thread, I will manage a series for Beatles albums discussion and ratings. I've made a separate thread to separate the more general Beatles discussions that go on all the time from the album-specific ones we'll focus on here. Details might change based on how it goes, but my current plan is this:
1) Albums will be posted weekly (I'm thinking Wednesdays) with a week-long poll attached to the thread.
2) Albums will go in chronological order.
3) The thread will include both Beatles albums and solo members' albums (interspersed, so McCartney will appear before Let It Be, for example)
4) Poll results will be documented in the first post; polls themselves will be deleted and replaced weekly (within this same thread).
5) Only pop studio albums will be included (no live albums, avant garde albums, classical albums, or compilations, except...)
6) To avoid the confusion of US v UK, etc., I will use what Wiki calls the "core catalogue" versions and albums, which includes two compilations: the two Past Masters albums of otherwise uncollected, key singles.
Suggestions welcome. Complaints may be directed to the moderators (of other boards).
