+1. IMO, it seemed like their music style began to mature around the "Help" album, with "Revolver" even more so. Sgt. Pepper's was and still is a masterpiece. Magical Mystery Tour, not so much.

I've about burned out on "classic rock" stations, but commercial radio mainly. I listen to lots of odd stuff now. Lucinda Williams, Big Head Todd, Alison Krauss, White Stripes, Modest Mouse and some other new alternative bands that actually have talent and some "art" about them.
I just dig around and find old blues, bluegrass, whatever, and chase it. Lisa and I have totally different catalogs of the past and she shows me new old bands like the Cowboy Junkies, etc.
I just mix it up and keep it fresh. Then after awhile I enjoy going back and looking for some Clapton/Page/Plant/Rodgers solo efforts, or whatever I can find.

Much like FM radio was like back in the day. The pop stuff was on AM stations
