Ticket To Ride is definitely one of my favorite Carpenters albums. I remember when I first got into them about 2 months ago (yes, I'm a newbie, still discovering some songs) and hearing "Your Wonderful Parade" for the first time, and I was completely blown away. Something about the drumming, vocals, and the intro with RC talking got me pretty hooked. I also remember hearing "Ticket To Ride" (song) for the first time, and loved that too. And as a long time Beatles fan, I never thought that I could hear such a good Beatles cover, as most people seem to be convinced that original versions are always better than cover versions. I also have always loved the stunning vocals on "Eve" and the pureness of "Get Together", "What's The Use", All Of My Life", and "Benediction". The beginning of "All I Can Do" I absolutely love, along with the backing vocals. I'm pretty sure there's another song from this album I haven't heard yet, but based on what I've heard so far from this album/any of their music in general, TTR is in my top 5 Carpenters albums, most definitely
