And I feel it was a great finale, "Let It Be" was too somber for me, Abbey Road was all about Beatles' ability to create music with fairytale magic.

Also Abbey Road is tight as hell.

I'd probably have to agree with you on that. The White Album is up there as well, on my list.

Having had a good listen through their catalogue now I'm going to have to lean with Abbey Road. Good writing from all 4 members makes this one strong, but it's great in all areas.

My number 2 would be Revolver followed by Rubber Soul.

This is just one of those polls I'll Probably never be able to vote on. It's so close between the white album and abbey road, with revolver very closely behind.

still Rubber Soul

My rankings (and favorite song from each):

Revolver (I’m Only Sleeping)
The White Album (Mother Nature’s Son and Long, Long, Long – picking two since it’s a double album)
Magical Mystery Tour (Strawberry Fields Forever)
Rubber Soul (Think For Yourself)
Sgt. Pepper's (Fixing a Hole)
Abbey Road (Something)
A Hard Day's Night (I’ll Be Back)
Help! (Yesterday)
Let It Be (Let It Be)
Beatles For Sale (I’m a Loser)
With The Beatles (Till There Was You)
Please Please Me (Ask Me Why)
Yellow Submarine (It’s All Too Much)

Magical Mystery Tour rises to the top for me. I find that it has more texture than all of their other albums, and that it is only comparable to The White Album and Revolver.

Agree - and I like the film, too! I believe Magical Mystery Tour was John Lennon's favorite Beatles album, because (said he), "It's so weird." ;)

As far as films go, I prefer Yellow Submarine. But when (and if) I'm in the same intoxicated state as The Beatles were in when they made that movie, my opinion will change.

Revolver was a great album, but they never really made a bad one.
BTW-although it has no votes, "With The Beatles" is a great album.
Their versions of "Money", "Please Mr Postman" and "You really got a hold on me" are sublime.

Magical Mystery Tour!
then Sgt. Pepper's & Revolver
