Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles

The album, Magical Mystery Tour, that The Beatles released on November 27, 1967 is the greatest Beatles album of all time. People may argue that Revolver, Abbey Road, Help or any of their other perfect works of art could take the #1 spot but I must disagree. Magical Mystery Tour has produced some of the best works of The Beatles and every song in this album has moved me in some way. With songs like, "I Am The Walrus", "Strawberry Fields Forever", and "Baby You're A Rich Man" have been some of my all time favorite Beatles songs and have been featured in numerous awards and more than enough top tens. In 1967 alone, 6 songs off of this album have been on the Billboard Top 100 with four getting top 10 and three of those being number one. The album itself has had its fair share of success with a Billboard Top 100 in 1968 being the number 1 album of that time. It is true that other albums that the Beatles have produced have gotten more attention from the media, but this album still impresses me to this day and its songs are still to this day being played all over the radio. "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" were a part of Frank FM's Top 10 best Beatles songs of all time and that takes into account the 14 albums the band has made along with their solo records that have caused an insane amount of excitement globally. This album has affected my life like no other music has. It has a song for every mood, it has a song for any time, and the album can be found producing the best music around even today. I do not believe that any music could last as long as the Beatles and this album has repeatedly proved to throw out some great songs throughout the last 4 decades.
