I know everyone always raves about "Revolver" but personally I prefer "Sergeant Pepper" what does everyone else think?

Sgt. Pepper changed the face of popular music but I personally preferred The White Album.

The Best of the Beatles.

I dont think you can include any post 60's compilations really. Unless you meant the Red and Blue albums. I actually like Hard Days Night good raw Beatles sound.

The White Album, or Abbey Road. Sgt Pepper is overrated.

Revolver,the white album and abbey road.Sgt pepper is nothing special to me.I have every beatle album and a few extras.

I thought Abbey Road was easily their best.

I don't have all their albums, but of the ones I do have I'd say Rubber Soul There's not one average song on it, and it has two of my favourite songs by anyone ever: In My Life and Norwegian Wood

Nice Alan Partridge reference

I have them all but the white album, and my fave track is let it be, not of the white album by the way, Barry.

1. The White Album
2. Rubber Soul
3. Revolver

Damn you! I wanted to say that!

Revolver
Sergeant Pepper
Hard days night.
All there albums are pretty good though.

I bought Please Please Me on it's release and then every subsequent (proper) album. Rubber Soul gave us the first indication of what they were capable of, Revolver developed this feeling, Sgt Pepper was something of a let down.

It may be popular to choose Revolver but I have been saying it's their best album since 1967 and I ain't changing my mind now

I find it very hard to pick one Beatles album, it is more their body of work, with many different sounds and influences.

I would probably have to pick Rubber Soul as my favourite album. I like the tracks Norwegian Wood, Michelle, Girl and the masterpiece In My Life.

Sgt Peppers is actually one of the my least favourite Beatles album.

I still think that the Beach Boys Pet Sounds is the greatest album of all time.

I lived through the release of all the Beatles albums in my teens, so I was able to listen to the band developing in real time. Revolver is my favourite, closely followed by Rubber Soul.
The early albums are great for that raw sound. When they recorded Please Please Me they were virtual unknowns, so they had so little time in the studio that many of the tracks are virtually live performances done in one take.

I'm always surprised at the number of younger people who choose the White Album as their favourite. True, it has some great tracks, and if it had been released as a 14-track album it would have been excellent. But alot of it is self-indulgent and pretentious.

Abbey Road. It's a masterpiece. Every song is brilliant.

Every song on Abbey Road brilliant? As a great Beatles fan I beg to differ. Octopus's Garden? Oh Darling?

Now the medley on the second side.... that is brilliant. I was told that they knew the band was finished when they recorded Abbey Road. They had lots of half-written songs that they'd had for ages..... some of them going back to their teenage years. So they took all the bits and put them together in a medley. The way they blended them together shows what musical geniuses they were.

I also grew up with The Beatles and my musical tastes matured along with theirs

But these days I like the two film albums best.........Hard Days Night and Help ..........nothing too fancy, just great pop songs.........I know every word and every chord, just put 'em on and singalong.


But.........there's great stuff on every album, I love what was, at the time, a double EP.........Magical Mystery Tour which has been released as a CD with four additional tracks


Sargeant Pepper's...........has there ever been a more beautiful song than 'She's Leaving Home'?


Geez, I really must get the CDs that I'm missing..........

As also a great Beatles fan (I grew up with them , was hooked the moment I saw them on 'Ready steady go' in Autumn of 1963) I think they are great songs. Well constructed and especially 'Oh Darling' , I love that song.

can any of the above albums stand up to ringos solo offering 'goodnight vienna' from the 70s

The way Sgt Pepper gets slagged off these days, I would almost say it's UNDER-rated.

Each of their albums is great in its own way, but my favourite is Revolver. It contains my favourite Beatles song (and that's saying something), 'For No One'. Sheer class.

The White Album. For all the Sgt Pepper hype I prefer this one, good, catchy accoustic songs, much more of a rock feel.

Abbey Rd a close second for the medley on Side B that is much greater than the sum of its parts, although has some gems in their own right (You Never Give Me Your Money and She Came in Through the Bathroom Window particularly stand out).

Like many, it seems, I can't resist the charms of Rubber Soul. 'I'm Looking Through You' is my particular favourite. Probably Abbey Road then Revolver after that; their best compilation album, for me, is the Blue album.
