Third time?

I think this is the third time this has been discussed, but it's always fun. I think some of the Beatles' output is prog, but only in a loose way. I don't necessarily see it being added, but some of the more experimental stuff I think could fit. Odd though, I would write and entirely different list than lenron did. It would include:

most of "Magical Mystery Tour"
the whole of "Yellow Submarine" ep.
large bits of the White Album.
Side Two of Abbey Road ripped as a whole.
"I Want You"
"Tomorrow Never Knows" - actually all one chord over and over (C Maj)
"Within You Without You"
"Rain"
"Norwegian Wood"
"Love to You"
"Hey Jude"
etc. etc.

but I'd for sure leave out "Revolution 9," which I always skip over, and "I've Got a Feeling," which is straight rock.



But against adding any Beatles is the argument that then there'd be a "what about Pet Sounds?" and "what about the psychedelic Byrds' stuff."
