This may be a fairly common thread, I'm not sure. Feel free to bash me for being a newb

Mine are as follows:

1. White Album
2. Sgt. Pepper's
3. Abbey Road
4. Magical Mystery Tour
5. Revolver

Hard to leave out Rubber Soul but had to make a cut somewhere.

**On any given day, I could bump one of these for Beatles For Sale... I know its very uneven, but I liked the transition going on here...

Let It Be
Revolver

No "Let It Be" love here? I know it's sort of their last hurrah and just a collection of solo stuff in a way, but I still listen to it a lot.

While I get the cultural and musical significance of "Sgt. Pepper's", I just don't personally enjoy it in its entirety. Within You Without You makes me want to put a bullet in my head.

I've never understood why it takes so much criticism (musically, anyways). Yes, it was the break-up album, but with 'Get Back' 'I've got a feeling' 'Two of Us' etc., what's not to love? Watching old videos of the rooftop performance makes it even cooler.

Didn't make the top 5 for me but definitely up there.

I'm more shocked by the absence of Help! For me, the Beatles albums go

Abbey Road
Revolver
Help!

everything else

Was a tough cut for me...I love that album. Yesterday and The Night Before are two of my favorite Beatles songs...can I change my vote?

Revolver was my last album to fall in love with. I have the Beatles box set of remastered albums and when I finally dipped into Revolver, I had forgotten the magic the Beatles bring with tracks such as Here, There and Everywhere. One of the greatest soft rock tracks of all time IMO.

Abbey Road
The Beatles(White Album)
Rubber Soul
Revolver
A Hard Day's Night

Just for kicks I'll keep Going:

Sgt. Peppers
Help
Magical Mystery Tour
Beatles for Sale
Please Please Me
Let it Be
With the Beatles
Yellow Submarine(generally don't count this one, but)

Love all the Beatles albums(except YS) but some of them have to be at the bottom...

If the "Past Masters" collections were proper albums I'd have them ranked fairly high...

This will probably change in 5 minutes. Although, I'm certain Abbey Road will remain my #1. My favorite album of all time.

Can't believe nobody mentioned that today would have been George's 70th birthday
