And The Award Goes To...

Rubber Soul/ Revolver- The best double album that never was.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band- The best concept album that never was a concept album only after I added Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane to my version.

The Beatles (White Album)- The best single album that never was by four solo artists pretending to be a band.  Also, best double album with two misleading titles when neither disc was white and the four members make not a band.  Although I suppose calling it "The John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, guest appearance by Eric Clapton, and various and sundry other people who happened to be around at the time" album would have been a bit wordy and it is a winner in two categories so who am I to judge.

But why George Martin and the Fab Four never consulted me on these matters remains a mystery to this day.

Congratulations to all the winners.

  1. Paul did show up at your doorstep to discuss these matters but he was overwhelmed when he peeked in the window and saw you eating a steak.

    Ringo was too busy playing with trains.

    What John and George were doing I cannot say.

    I take umbrage at the assertion that your proposed title is too wordy. I feel it is too pithy and could use a few more choice words.
