I never could have imagined a woman in the Beatles world could be more disliked then Yoko...then this horror came along and made Yoko look like an angel.
I'm kind of like that,love the early psychedelic Barret era but never got into the later 70' stuff.
As for Gaga the music is ordinary but i don't mind her as a person. It also doesn't hurt that she is a Lennon/Beatles fan who has tripped out on acid a few times. Can see her as a hippie chick...
Tomorrow Never Knows is full blown psychedelia. It's the aural equivalent of an acid trip.
Pretty much agree with most of your ratings although not sure about Good Vibrations. More of a feel good pop song then psychedelic rock. I'd also give Eight Miles High a higher rating.
Both Pepper...
Far Far Away is a good one. I haven't listened to Slade in years but listened to them quite a lot at one stage. Checked out Every Hit and surprised they had 6 #1s.
Gudbuy T'Jane is another favorite.
I like this one as well it has a nice dream like quality and Ringo's voice suits it perfectly. Would have been interesting if John had done a version as well being it's his song.
For me the flaw is Why Don't We Do It In The Road. Just does nothing for me. To think they could have replaced this with Not Guilty or What's The New Mary Jane both far superior songs.
Slade are sadly mostly forgotten these days. They put out some classic glam singles in the early 70's & at one stage were bigger then T Rex,Bowie and the other big name glam acts.
Coz I Luv You is probably one of my favorites.
When is this going to be released? I read an interview with Paul last year where he said he wanted to finally release it..FANTASTIC!... but it's one year on and still nothing:(
Well looks like the fabs took top spot..

If we could include solo artists Bowie has a string of masterpieces.
Station To Station - Low - Heroes - Lodger - Scary Monsters
Or duos
Simon & Garfunkel
The Sounds Of Silence - Parsley Sage Rosemary & Thyme - Bookends - Bridge Over Troubled Water
The Beatles had some trippy outros during their psychedelic era but the last couple of minutes of I Am The Walrus is some pretty weird s**t.

Probably only Elvis but for his massive influence on the british invasion bands and being the driving force of early R&R not for record sales.
MJ and Madonna are mostly bland formulaic pop. Sold a ****load of records but the music is mostly ordinary although I do like some of MJs disco stuff...
The Beatles have Rubber Soul/Revolver/Pepper/White Album/Abbey Road..untouchable IMO.
RE: Ok Computer I concur it's pure genius and I rank it up with The Beatles best.
Rubber Soul / Revolver / Sgt Pepper - The Beatles
Meat Is Murder / The Queen Is Dead / Strangeways Here We Come - The Smiths
Modern Life Is Rubbish / Parklife / The Great Escape - Blur
