Do you prefer the Early songs they wrote (ie upto '65) or the later ones (after '65, naturally)?
I actually prefer the early ones. It seems that they gave everything at that time, since they were less experienced (in life and music)... besides, the early songs are so... will "cute" be the right word?

I prefer the early stuff as well. It has some more energy to my ears and they sound more like a band with strong inner bonds.

i prefer later for the listening experience you get, but the earlier stuff has an energy that you could play there stuff and have a whole dance floor filled and dancing too it.

I think I'll go for early... I agree with Kaleidoscope_tree and Clarabella: very energetic (I was listenening to I Saw Her Standing There the other day and I was thinking about that amazing energetic-ness), they seemed to be giving it their all, and, er, the songs were very cute (for lack of a better word! )

Try listening to "Little Child" from With The Beatles VERY loud! You'll love it!

I like the Beatles of the early 60's just as much as anybody, but it's the late 60's era that I dig the most, from the White Album to Hey Jude to Across The Universe, you can't beat it.

It's "mid" for me - 1965-1967.

Which "period" I listen to depends on my mood. I do have a soft spot for the early Beatles though since that's what I first discovered. There's an innocence to that music that reflects my own at the time, and evokes it now. The later stuff is more cerebral and, uh, trippy.

i'm gonna mix it up and say 66 and later. i liked their more experimental things versus the early stuff that seemed to lean more towards 50s and 60s rock-and-roll. i will make an exception, however, for "I'll Get You". that one's a keeper.

For me its the early period, we as a band only do up to 1965, and include early songs like Misery, No Reply, I'll be back, to the Cellar stompers like Money, Some Other Guy, Sit right down and cry, What I'd Say, basically the early years covers the vibrancy of the Rock 'n' Roll Cavern and Hamburg material to the Beatlemania years all classic dancing stuff, I do love the later stuff but as a performing band you can't beat the early stuff for getting the dance floor full.

My favourite period is 1962-3, then 1966-67. Both really bristle with energy and creativity.

For me it depends on my mood. Depending on how I'm feeling, I'll be stuck in one era for a while. Currently I'm in a streak of listening to the early stuff, but I still love the later too. I listen to whatever my whims tell me to.

I guess for me it's 62-Rubber Soul, followed closely by Revolver through MMT. And on the heels is TWA through Abbey Road. Hmm, not very discriminating, am I?

I started off being into '67 onwards as this was a bit more 'rock'. I then started working my way back from '67 to Please Please me and soon realised this was as good as their later work. If you pin me down to an era I would have to say.......................................sorry can't do it. I can pick tracks from different years that I prefer but I can't say what years I prefer. That probably doesn't answer your question.

SONGWISE, I'd say the pre 1965 period is best. These SONGS anyone could play and they would sound good. Not so for the later material, which is best when the Beatles' version is heard. Sgt Pepper doesn't work so well with some guy and an acoustic guitar.
RECORDwise, I like the 67-68 stuff the best. The songs are good/great, but the recording is amazing to hear.
I know a lot of people love the 65-66 era, but I think the songs have lessened (a little) and the recordings have increased (a little) - so you get a nice middle range of both....

Sgt Pepper doesn't work so well with some guy and an acoustic guitar. That's a very good point. A bloke with a guitar in a bar sounds good playing Love Me Do. In fact some of the best covers I've heard are of pre 1965 stuff.
