Sgt. Pepper has always been my favorite. It's brilliant, especially from a progressive point of view.

I have to go with Rubber Soul on this one. The Word, Girl, In My Life...these are remarkable performances. Some days I think The Word is the best song they ever recorded, given that it sort of encapsulates everything Beatle-y. The vocals, the bass, the beat. Where'd they come up with this? Seriously, how did they come up with it? Yeah, Motown etc. I know. But listen to those guitars, listen to Mc and Ringo locked in to the rhythm. Fine song on a fine album.

But Sgt Pepper's little brother does have some wonderful songs on it. It's just overshadowed among all those giant masterpiece albums.

This is true. I really like all the albums in this list. It's not an easy choice but Sgt. Peppers is too important not to have my vote.
Although Magical Mystery Tour would have my vote if Sgt. Peppers wasn't here.

Ha, how good is a band when Sgt. Pepper's and MMT are their weak albums from this era? Only my opinion obviously... Thanks for the poll as it got me listening to those remasters. She Said She Said is in a class of it's own.

The one that ends on a 1:00 minute sustained E Major Chord played on a Piano.

They're all good, but Revolver is 5 stars.

Rubber Soul. This was a huge leap musically and very unusual to everyone around me during that time. At first...people didn't know what to think and then in a few months it seemed everyone was loving it.

Revolver. I won't argue here, as I am arguing over on your other thread, Hallway. 
I'll merely say that three of the most amazing Beatles' tunes can be found on Revolver: "Eleanor Rigby" (a double string quartet playing a composition influenced by Bernard Herrmann's Psycho is quite extraordinary for rock music), "Tomorrow Never Knows" (Lennon referencing the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and multiple studio innovations on this quintessential psychedelic piece are notable), and "Love You To" (the first fully Indian composition in both instrumentation and chordal structure ever produced on a pop album).

I find Revolver the most consistent of the bunch though Sgt Pepper has the best SONG - no prizes for guessing - from the whole bunch.

They're all good but only one album has 'A day in the life'
It's nice to find fellow fans of A day in the life as I'm used to people who say they like the Beatles but not really being aware of this song!

As an album, Revolver is my favorite. But Magical Mystery Tour has the best individual songs
