  4. Sgt Pepper

  6. Let It Be

Rubber Soul would complete my personal Beatles top 5, but it wasn't included as an option.

1 Abbey Road
2 Sgt. Pepper
3 Revolver
4 White Album
5 Magical Mystery Tour
6 Let it be
 
5 and 6 should be switched if we're talking about the original Magical Mystery Tour E.P. instead of the extended American version that became the CD version.

Very difficult.........Cos it is after all Revolver that gave us Pink Floyd....St. Pepper the idea of a concept album and Rubber Soul (not in the list) that inspired (among others) Genesis. But ultimatly I voted for The White Album cos its by fasr the most experimental......and most creative...Also is the influence of George Harrison also much much stronger here...and for me he is the only true Beatle.......and the one that eventually made The Beatles the most influential band in the history of music.
 
Lennon and McCartney only wanted to make popsongs and write political lyrics..........but it was Harroson that wanted to expound the borders....and majke music in the first place......I think The Whilte Album stands out as a proof for that....even now about 40 years later.

If I only had one it would be The Beatles, mainly because of the humour and the dazzling array of styles. Revolver is a close second.
MMT isn't really a Beatles LP, it's a compilation of an EP and some singles.

Honestly I only like (really like) Abbey Road, simply brilliant side B is almost an epic.
 
The rest...............I like Sgt Peppers a bit but nothing spectacular IMHO and Let it Be has it's moments.

The White Album, two LPs and a nice eclecticism.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

None. I'm not questioning their importance when it comes to the history of music but I am one of the few that have never gotten into them.

I voted for Abbey Road because it has tracks that in my mind and no debate that are Progressive Rock. The epic medley on Side Two. Listen to McCartney bass playing and Ringo mixture of Latin and jazz influence drum style on "I Want You (She So Heavy). Also the classically influenced with the Moog on "Because". Revolver is a close second and for proggers like myself just because of two songs that do away with Western rules of music almost completely and the first examples in Pop Music I can find if someone could help me on that one in "Love You To" and "Tomorrow Never Knows".

White album, I love it - sounds like a compilation rather than the work of a band.

Abbey Road for sure.  Whitey has too many Paul tunes.  Revolver is great, and so is Sgt, and Mag, and Let, but Abbey does it for me.

It's worth listening to Let It Be ... Naked, which is a big improvement on the Spector version. It's still a rather dismal addition to an otherwise splendid discography, though - Abbey Road should have been the final release.

Revolver, that album was an inseparable part of my childhood and more so than for example Magical Mystery Tour which I also grew up with.
