 Very difficult, i'm quite split between some of the later albums. Namely Abbey Road, The White Album and Rubber Soul. Magical Mystery Tour has my favourite song, Blue Jay Way but isn't as good as a whole. I will put my vote to Abbey road for the medley at the end. It is a masterpiece.
Another emotional suicide, overdosed on sentiment and pride

I went for the White Album. It's a little uneven in places, but it has some of the best songs of any Beatles album on it. Plus, my personal favourite Beatles song of all time, Blackbird.

Abbey Road, then Magical Mystery Tour, then Sgt. Peppers. If the White Album had been a single album it would have been the best, IMO! Anything before Revolver and Rubber Soul was pretty lame and pre-Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds! he he, ho ho, ha ha!

Abbey Road is fantastic. Every song is good and completely different from their previous. White album has much of the same feeling, but the songwriting is not so consistent and there are some songs that while not bad, not great songs either (Paul wasnīt at his best). Abbey Road was my favourite since I was 7 years old and had never thought about paying attention to the complexity of the arrangements, even considering that my dad (who is a fanatic for Beatles) didnīt like it much. Maybe taste for music is somewhat intrinsic (and somewhat influenced by the medium).

I don't know all their albuns, but I love 'Abbey Road', this disc have fantastic songs, including the mini-suite 'Golden Slumbers-Carry that Weight-The End' Big smile. 'White Album' is a good work, but a little inconsistent sometimes, and to all the others the feeling is... there's something missing here... Embarrassed

There's a few I've not heard, but I voted for Revolver. Abbey Road follows close on its heels for me.

I really like 'Hard Days Night' too..    'And I love Her' is one of my favourite Beatles songs.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I prefer the early Beatles. My vote goes to For Sale.

Abbey Road is their peak of creativity IMO.
