I certainly must admit, Rubber Soul has stood the test of time remarkably well. The music is just as simple, mindless and painful to listen to as it was 35 years ago. Wow, that's longevity.Come on.. the Beatles did nothing more than copy one real artist after another. But since they got more popular than the artists they were ripping off, the ignorant masses believed they were the creative ones. Marketing triumphs over talent once again...
