I find it quite hard to choose a favourite Beatles album really.
Sgt. Peppers' Lonely Heart Club Band is great as a "whole album listening experience", which also doesn't mean individual tracks from it aren't good, because they are. Plus, A Day In Life. 'Nuff said. Revolver is fantastic stuff, how can you not love an album that has both Eleanor Rigby and I'm Only Sleeping? Even without those two tracks it'd be a pretty great album, i mean, Tommorow Never Knows is brilliant. Magical Mistery Tour is also very decent, Strawberry Fields Forever, I Am The Walrus, Penny Lane, Blue Jay Way and the classic All You Need Is Love. Great album. The White Album has so many great tracks i won't even bother mentioning them all. This has some of their best work in it. Abbey Road is an album that i actually enjoy a lot, Come Together, I Want You (She's So Heavy), Something, Oh! Darling, Here Comes The Sun, Because. It's just a really good album, and i see it tossed aside a lot. Anyway, i couldn't really pick one from these 5. |

Good Night is corny as hell but it has a nice melody IMO. Wild Honey Pie is so bad it's awesome. Revolution 9 doesn't even qualify as a song, it's just a collage of f*cked up sound effects, it would be ideal for one of those old drug trip exploitation movies. Overall, there's a high concentration of great songs on the album and it's probably my third favorite after Sgt Peppers and Abbey Road. |
The only ones i've heard are Revolver and Sgt Peppers, and out of those two it's Sgt Peppers by one song. But since i haven't heard any other Beatles albums its not the most comprehensive answer.

In Rubber Soul you hear glimpses of things to come and it influenced both the Beach Boys and yeah those Stones would be playing their sitars and recording their basses through fuzz boxes instead of regular guitar a few months later. But it's with Revolver where the Beatles start to really create odd textures and sounds, with instruments and recording techinques not normally associated with pop and rock music.
I think the White Album and Abbey Road are great in different ways. Magical Mystery Tour in relation to the Beatles is really a underrated album. Sgt Pepper gets all the praise it also was slathered in studio overdubbing and other effects -- atonal orchestras, phase-shifting, direct-to-soundboard bass -- that blew minds at the time, but sound a bit dated now. It was done to death. My choice is Revolver. |
