Sgt. Pepper's does it for me. Abbey Road is in second I'd say.

Abbey Road. Such strong compositions, such a wonderful sound, and what a great almost-epic on side 2, almost prog! Abbey Road is a real killer album!

Rubber Soul is my fav, but from the list The greatest is Abbey Road. This album has the terrible Maxwell' silver hammer (the worst Beatle song together with o-bla-di o-bla-da). But this is a minor fault in a classic.

Rubber soul contains the freshness of the discovery of new grounds, as someone said about Revolver. This spirit of adventure in a giant group says everithing about how The Beatles are the most important and influent rock band ever.

My favorite albums are from the "transitional" period. They weren't trying to
make a statement yet. But truly great music was created. That doesn't mean
I don't love the others too. (I'm pretty much a Beatles fanatic)
   By the way, why wasn't "Rubber Soul" on the list?

All beatles albums are amazing but for me it is The White Album and out of that my favorete song is Martha my dear or Dear Prudence. I need no reason to pick the white album than it makes me feel so good and when I need to smile I pop it in. The other albums do the same and have different emotions but the white album is what I would take on a deserted island.

 Abbey Road - still sounds as good today as it did back in 1969.

The other albums are all great but my other favourite Beatles are:

  • Sgt. Pepper
  • Magical Mystery Tour
  • Revolver
  • Rubber Soul
  • White Album

An oversight on my part, to be sure, but that's why I covered my bases with "other".  Actually I did not expect so many to choose Rubber Soul as their favorite - that result has been the most interesting of this poll.

Well, you were always welcome to choose "other" and let us know what you picked!
"Help!" is really great.  I think "Ticket to Ride" is one of John's best songs.

but in the end I simply cannot resist an album that contains Fool On The Hill, I Am The Walrus, All You Need Is Love, Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane and some relatively uncelebrated gems like Blue Jay Way, Baby You're A Rich Man, Hello Goodbye and the title track ...

even Flying and Your Mother Should Know have wonderful memories for me ... are to be warm and toasted ...

Sgt. Peppers next and Revolver third ...
