Easy peasy answer ~

Abbey Road, which despite being their last recorded album, reveals the band to still be fresh, bold and innovative. They finished leaving a high water mark.

The medley that concludes side 2 is magical work. Sgt Pepper runs it very, very close, but for me Abbey Rd is the cream of the crop.

Best album of all time? No chance. I have 7 contenders, all the best, all for different reasons. But Abbey Rd is one of those 7..

Out of all the Beatles albums, I would probably have to pick:

A Hard Day's Night

It is the album where the early Beatles wrote incredible songs and Beatlemania was at its peak all over the world.

None of them :P

The Ramones.

They almost have too many albums, so I'd have to listen to every one of them thoroughly enough to make a decision.

I feel the same way. Abbey Road is not only my favorite Beatles album but favorite all time album. Just think if Hey Jude was there in place of I want you/She's so heavy. Man.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer? I like where Paul laughs at the writing 50 times part. I like the song. :)

I've never been a fan of " OOMPA OOMPA " music, and I don't even want to know the meaning of the lyrics.
Stlll, it is what it is. I don't think it ruins the album.
On CD, I like the way that the madness of "She's so heavy'' leads into the comforting intro of ''Here comes the sun".
There won't be any war mate.

I didn't. I took for granted everyone was talking about Octopus's Garden. Obviously! :lol:

Poor Ringo...

Anyway, great though Abbey Road is, SK was right straight out the trap: Rubber Soul is the best. One of the rare, rare perfect albums.

IMHO, YMMV.

Cheers - C

The white album (the Beatles) has some great songs, but as an album it just doesn't flow.
It's sounds like they're all going their own way, which they were.
I think the track "Long,Long,Long" is amongst George's finest.

my favorite beatles album is magical mystery tour...mostly because it includes penny lane which is my favorite beatles song.

also, i like it because it was thrown together for various reasons, with the core of it as the soundtrack from the magical mystery tour movie.
