Rubber Soul
Fab Four '65
Rubber Soul is a 1965 album by the Beatles, widely regarded as a turning point in rock music toward more introspective and sophisticated songwriting.
The title puns on "rubber sole" while suggesting something inauthentic—a play on "plastic soul," slang for white musicians imitating Black American music.
The album marked the band's shift from pop singles toward cohesive artistic statements.
