Not only do I think of it, as one of the very best Beatles albums of all-time but as one of the best albums of all time. It would easily make my all-time top 10.

Never think of this as a studio album-proper, but rather as a sort of EP of four new songs (all of which I like) with two previously released songs and the George Martin score.

Just about. I do think that song and It's All Too Much are easamong the best Beatles songs though - I did name my account here after the former and all. All Together Now and Only a Northern Song are little bundles of goodness too.

I suppose you could see it that way but, needless to say, I just take the whole thing into account everytime. It's a whole B-side that I simply never listen to, so it'd be hard for me not to automatically put it last.

Good album, but never one I've been a particularly huge fan of. Fixing a Hole, Getting Better, Day In the Life and Within You Without You are four (more) of my favourite Beatles songs (particularly the first two - two of my favourites ever), but the rest of the album ranges from good down to passable for me.

Also, did I do XTC already? If so, tough, I'm gonna do an entry for them again

XTC
Apple Venus > Black Sea > Skylarking > English Settlement > Mummer > Oranges and Lemons > Drums and Wires > White Music > Nonsuch > Wasp Star > Go2 > The Big Express

Lisa Gerrard
The Silver Tree > The Black Opal > The Mirror Pool

David Sylvian [solo albums only, and barring the few I couldn't find for love nor money]
Approaching Silence > Manafon > Secrets Of the Beehive > Brilliant Trees > Gone To Earth > Blemish > Dead Bees On a Cake

A Day in the Life is one of the best Beatles' songs, easily

Exactly - that's why I have difficulty considering it an "album" as well, and why I did not include it in my list.

-Go 2, Big Express, Nonsuch, Drums and Wires are WAY too low
-White Music, Apple Venus are too high
-Mummer is WAY too high
