Revolver!

 

My number 1 and 2 spot always alternates between Abbey Road and Revolver.

 

sameeeee

 

Abbey Road, but also Sgt Pepper and Revolver and Rubber Soul

 

same

 

1. abbey road
2. white album

 

It's always changing, but it's usually between Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Peppers. Right now I'm leaning Revolver.

I will say Abbey Road I used to think was kind of overrated, but it's been climbing the last couple years and is probably the one I return to the most consistently (even if it's just for the back half).

 

My favorite is the white album, but Revolver is definitely closer to perfect. Abbey Road side 2 is the best thing they ever did in my opinion, but even as good as the best songs on the first half are it feels too disjointed for me to put the whole album in my top two.

 

Has to be Abbey Road for me

 

fuck it, rip the band-aid off

1. Abbey Road
2. Rubber Soul
3. The White Album
4. Revolver
5. Help!
6. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
7. A Hard Day's Night
8. Let it Be
9. With the Beatles
10. Please Please Me
11. Yellow Submarine
12. Beatles for Sale

Magical Mystery Tour is probably between White Album and Revolver for me, but not a full collection of songs

 

I'll bite. I'm also considering the LP version of Magical Mystery Tour with all the singles, not the EP.

1. Abbey Road
2. Revolver
3. Rubber Soul
4. Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
5. Let It Be
6. The White Album
7. Magical Mystery Tour
8. Help!
9. A Hard Day's Night
10. Please Please Me
11.With the Beatles
12. Beatles For Sale
13. Yellow Submarine

 

every album is amazing but

1. Abbey Road
2. Revolver
3. The Beatles
4. Please Please Me
5. Rubber Soul
6. A Hard Day's Night
7. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
8. Beatles for Sale
9. With the Beatles
10. Let It Be
11. Help!

not counting MMT or YS because they're not real albums

 

1. The White Album
2. Revolver
3. Abbey Road
4. Sgt Pepper's
5. Help!
6. Rubber Soul
7. Let It Be
8. A Hard Day's Night
9. Beatles For Sale
10. Please Please Me
11. With the Beatles

 

The removal of Don’t Let Me Down on Let It Be is absolute blasphemy.

 

i find it very difficult to rank the beatles albums

 

regardless:

abbey road
the white album
please please me
revolver
beatles for sale
a hard day's night
rubber soul
help!
sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band
with the beatles

this always feels cruel to with the beatles, which has so many slappers but is also just please please me 2. magical mystery tour is an EP and let it be is a soundtrack, otherwise it's the worst beatles album by default

 

Please Please Me in the top 4

 

Beatles for Sale is often cited as their worst but it clicked for me in a huge way over the past year

to me it feels like a last stand for the cavern/hamburg mode of the fabs really rocking out to some of their favorite rock n roll staples

also the real beginning of introspective lennon as well as drugs & dylan seeping into their music

 

"no reply" is the greatest song of all time. i also adore the album's fractured and depressed vibe

 

I wouldn't call Let It Be a soundtrack. The "movie" was a documentary about the making of said album.

 

"What You're Doing" is one of their most underrated too

That "Be My Baby" drumbeat is to die for

 

they weren't making an album, they were rehearsing and writing songs for a concert

 

they just happened to document it and released it two years later bc the band broke up

 

let it be isn’t a soundtrack. yellow submarine is.
