    No, I think the consensus is that With the Beatles is the more consistent of the two 1963 albums but Please Please Me has more US hits than any other Beatles LP. I don't hear too much filler.

    It may have more hits but i happen to like With the Beatles more. I am entitled to my opinion and so are you.

    Agreed. I'm in lockstep with you, Jim. I also rate The Gift higher than most folks do...

    Concerto - 8.3 (used to like it more)

    Who Do We Think We Are - 9.5
    Burn - 8.5 (weak performances, but solid compositions)
    Stormbringer - 8.6 (different, but very good, 1 point off for the corny lyrics)

    Live in London - 9.5
    Perfect Strangers - ? (haven't heard it in a long time)

    Purpendicular - 8.5 (really energetic)
    Abandon - ? (haven't heard the full album yet, but liked what i've heard)

    I rated them all relative to one another, if that makes sense. The six original Roth albums are all 9's or 10's in my book! I also like a lot of the Van Hagar stuff.

    * I don't consider these "true" Yes albums; imo, w/o JA, it's not really Yes- same for Trevor Rabin being at the helm. Doesn't mean it's not good music, just not in the spirit of the real Yes

    Confusing? It is 2013, not 1995.

    I am not into these modern bands I like 60's and 70's artists mostly.

    If you're into surround, I'd get the dvd-a's of American Beauty and Workingman's Dead first- not only 2 of thier best albums, but even better in hi-rez 5.1 (Can't comment on the hi-rez stereo layer, as I've never listened to those)
