shouldn't you be trolling a metallica site or something?
Love isn't highly regarded? It's amazing. I've seen the actual show three times, and that was amazing too.
It's great! Perhaps you otto try being at least marginally clever sometime.
Bold and italics, someone means business.
So I'm ashamed to say that I never really dove into the solo careers after the Beatles broke up. Sure I know the big hits, but never really listened to any post Beatles albums.
Where you would all suggest I start out? I normally favored Lennon and Harrison over McCartney but I'm open to anything.
Harrison's All Things Must Pass is essential. McCartney I has some sweet tracks as well.
McCartney I isn't great, and I wouldn't recommend it as a starting point, but I'm very fond of it. It's so sloppy and lovable.
On that note, I'd also recommend Anthology 3, if your goal is to frame the transition into the Beatles' respective solo careers. I find it to be the most interesting of the three anyway, though the music on 2 is probably of higher quality.
I love Abbey Road so much. Probably my favorite album of all time. It's bittersweet that the band literally hated each other while recording.
Hahaha I forgot the original version of Come and Get It is on Anthology 3. That's great. If any band owes their entire career to the Beatles, it's Badfinger. Even Oasis didn't receive a deal/lead single from them directly.
So....I know "Love" is not highly regarded for good reason, but that mashup of Mr Kite/She's So Heavy is one of the coolest things I've heard.

The five you need TODAY:
1. All Things Must Pass
2. Plastic Ono Band
3. Ram
4. Band on the Run
5. Imagine

I've come around to Revolver as my favorite Beatles album. John's tracks on there are spellbinding, and Paul's in a bit more somber mood than usual, which is a side of him I like. The only drawback is Taxman, which has about the most ham-fisted lyrics of any Beatles song.

The Love show is pure joy. How it manages to forge a narrative connecting the historical reasons behind the formation of the band, their personalities, and the songs is masterful. It's a perfect celebration of both The Beatles and the ideas present in their music, more so than the insipid, cloying bullshit of Across the Universe.
