I like most of their albums from Rubber Soul onwards. Just cannot choose between them.

In many cases it's both sure, but here he other day I was in the presence of an old school Beatles fan (my uncle) who insisted on playing it. Halfway through he admitted to me that he used to like it far more than what he did now. He was rather flabbergasted and somewhat disappointed that he couldn't muster up the conviction to persuade me of it's virtues. I was too tbh.
The albums surrounding it though hold far better and more memorable tunes imo.
 
True in part, but I must admit I'm more of a fan of it than I was following the recent "remix" (apart from the removal of Harrison's count in "Within You Without You".

I'm glad to an extent that my vinyl version of Revolver (U.S. Capitol) leaves of Lennon songs. Well, if they had replaced the dumbass Yellow Submarine with Dr, Robert, would make for an awesome Beatles album.
Love MMT, though Fool On The Hill makes me ill. There's a rhyme WITH a reason.......ha !!

I choose please please me, because it would enrage feminists if it was released in 2017

Not really a Beatles fan (I actually hate many of their songs - MANY) but, for the most part - Revolver and Magical Mystery Tour somehow 'work' for me.

I don't know about that. They're sure taking their sweet time in releasing a follow up to Let It Be. Slackers.
