Revolver, but there's not a one I wouldn't say was good among them, fairly unique for a band/artist with that many to their name. The white album might have made a better single LP but then so what, there's nothing on there I really dislike.

White Album is my personal favourite. I do love the way Abbey Road fits together as well though. I prefer later Beatles to earlier although I like it all.

My favourite Beatles Album has always been Revolver. All the songs are good and there is a large selection of different music types.

I think personally Revolver and Rubber soul are great, Sgt Peppers is a fun album quirky and surreal and psychedelic, Let it Be is just the sound of a marriage gone wrong, even Lennon hated it, and McCartney was never ever all that keen on it either, Abbey Road ive always found zip zags between great songs, and so so rubbish the end suite of songs i have to agree with Lennon is just bad, But having said all that i do adore The Magical Mystery Tour, its a joy from start to end.

All great albums
As I've got older my views have changed a bit and I've gone off the more innovative stuff and gone 'back to basics' Give them a couple of albums to get to grips with it and stop doing covers.......then the 3rd and 4th albums, Hard Days Night and Help are totally written by the lads themselves and are as perfect an example of 3 minute pop songs as you will ever find....... |

They are all great, and each one captures the moment in time it was released.
The White Album is a masterpiece, although a little all over the place at times, which actually adds to the magic. Abbey Road is another classic, and showed what they could do when needed, in a time of personal turmoil for the band. It was a fitting last recording, which is what it was, although Let It Be was released after it. |

Revolver is the best Beatles album, but Abbey Road is more fun to listen to.

It's Revolver for me. It's not perfect. It has at least one mediocre track on it (I Want To Tell You), but the the rest of the tracks are good to outstanding. It was also the album that paved the way for psychedelia (Tomorrow Never Knows) that swept the rock world months later in 1967, so an important album from that angle.

That is probably The Beatles' finest moment. In all of the many books I've read on the subject I've certainly never heard of Lennon saying that.

Tough one. I think I'd have to say The Best Of The Beatles.

The White Album. It's a meandering mess, and that's why it's so special. It's four young men unable to control their differing artistic visions. I love that kind of sound.

I foolishly studied Sgt Peppers in University and that killed a little bit of the love I had for it. I don't really listen to it very much anymore, but it would probably still get my vote.

Abbey Road for me closely followed by Revolver.
There are so many tracks on those albums that mean a lot to me personally. I love all their albums though. |

Revolver or Rubber Soul for me.
Paperback Writer and Rain were both written in the Revolver sessions but weren't put on the album and Day Tripper and We Can Work It Out were both written when they were recording Rubber Soul but again never went on the album. Amazing to think some great Beatles albums could have been even better if they put their singles on the albums |

Artistically, The White Album. But Sergeant's Pepper's Lonely Heart band was the album that cemented their success.
