I'm not going to argue w/ Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers, or Abbey Road (which is, in fact, the best).

Sgt Peppers with Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields on the album instead of used as singles would be their best album.. but unfortunately they're not on it.

Abbey Road does have the best Beatles song, Something.

I switch between Abbey Road, Sgt Pepper and Revolver, but I think I may like revolver best because it is the biggest jump in style of music.

Abbey Road for me, and it isn't really close.

Help! doesn't get the recognition it deserves for its place in their catalog, either. If you're gonna bubble out pop rock, you could do a million times worse than "The Night Before", "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away", "I've Just Seen a Face", and "Yesterday".

Rubber Soul is the first Beatles record I owned, so it has a special place in my heart. It's in my top 3 with Revolver and Abbey Road.

They didn't make a bad album.

I love Rubber Soul since it was their first attempt at a cohesive album and most acoustic in feel, but Revolver is probably the better album.

Their material almost feels like double albums in stylistic approach.

Rubber Soul - Revolver
Sgt. Pepper - Magical Mystery Tour
The White Album
Let It Be - Abbey Road

Preach, brother.

When we were teenagers we used to watch that movie over and over. That was back when you could pay one price and stay in the theater all day and they had a smoking room.

Introducing The Beatles is my favorite and arguably the best because it was mostly recorded in a single session with minimal overdubs and editing. Twist and Shout, for example, was done live and in one take.
This album features them as a band playing together live.

Abbey Road is my #1 (even though Octopus' Garden absolutely sucks), but Rubber Soul was always #1-A for me.

Actually is extremely underrated. Even the covers are great.

I celebrate their entire catalog.

Sgt. Pepper's is their best album. Within You Without You is their best song, imo. YMMV. But neither Strawberry Fields nor Penny Lane have anything over Within You Without You and Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite in terms of psychedelic and sonic ear candy.

Abbey Road is great but it largely consists of unfinished songs that are formed into medleys. And give me a long, fully realized jam on that groove in I Want You (She's So Heavy). The world needed that and they didn't deliver. Also, you can't compare the end of Abbey Road to that final chord in A Day in the Life, which was epic.
