Yes, this is a fine Beatles album. It may not be their best, but I never understood why so many think Magical Mystery Tour is a lesser album. If I remember correctly, it didn't do as well as Sargent Pepper when it came out and the critics really slammed it, but I think it has aged well.

pop fluff? like "I wanna hold your hand"?

Wrong era LongGoneDaddy. At least "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" was a direct lyric. This one bounces aimlessly in a systematic roundabout of simplistic jargon. Just not for me so much and don't understand why it has such a high rating.

I'm not the very very biggest Beatles fan ever, but I like 'em pretty well, and from most of their "phases." But I always found this song quite trite lyrically and very ho-hum musically.

The lyrics are pretty silly. Apparently, even John Lennon called the lyrics "three minutes of contradictions and meaningless juxtapositions", but the melody is far from "ho-hum" - to me.

It's stuff like this that drives me back to Slacker and Pandora. Great in it's day but that day is long gone and I have heard this song more times than I want to. Adios RP.

Maybe you had to grow up listening to this to appreciate it even more now-a-days.

For those who do not see the value of RP, i say good riddance to ye.

I was living in Iceland when this song came out. It always brings back memories of a beautiful country and even more beautiful women.

Is there a reason I can hear any song from these guys, at any time, and never dislike it?

I've always preferred this album to all their others, even Sgt Pepper. I can remember buying the 45s of this backed with "I Am The Walrus" and a few months later, "Penny Lane" backed with "Strawberry Fields" came out. I've always thought those two 45s were the peak of the Flower Power era of rock.

Good song. Great album. Same year as Disraeli Gears and Surrealistic Pillow... What a decade-! So much music and so many new artist's doing great work.... No mush-sounds all seeming the same.

Exactly! And I owned almost all of their LPs. But this song was ho-hum even in my elementary school.
