Nice list. Struggling because it seems like beatles for sale should be higher and I think white album seems to need a top 5 spot. So hard but your list is good.

1 - Rubber Soul (barely)
1.001 - Revolver
1.002 - Sgt Pepper
...
..
4-12 - All others except Beatles For Sale are roughly the same, with maybe the late albums and Help! a bit above the early ones, and Hard Day's Night the best of the early ones.
..
...
13 - Beatles For Sale

If I had to rank them, it'd be
1. Magical Mystery Tour
2. Revolver
3. Sgt. Pepper's
4. Abbey Road
5. The White Album
6. Rubber Soul
7. A Hard Day's Night
8. Help!
9. Let It Be
10. With the Beatles
11. Please Please Me
12. Beatles for Sale

I've not actually listened to Yellow Submarine so I won't rank it.

Magical mystery at #1. I commend you on a bold choice. Some fantastic music on there. Might be #1 just for "I am the Walrus."

Hm...I made a couple rash choices for this list. I mean, including Past Masters, and putting Beatles For Sale ahead of The White Album!?! Sgt. Pepper would go a bit higher, but not much, probably just ahead of Magical Mystery Tour. And Revolver could knock Abbey Road off the top spot. A lot of the descriptions are also pretty stupid. I may have to remake this list.

This is hard, but:

1.Revolver
2. White Album
3. Hard Days Night
4)Rubber Soul
5)Pepper
6)MMT
7) Abbey Road
8) Let It Be
9)Please Please Me
10) Help
11)With The Beatles
12) Beatles For Sale

BUT....they are all great.

And yes, I may overrate Hard Day's Night, but it was the first record I bought, and it's really an innocent pop masterpiece. And it was the one that got me into music at the first place... So there.
