I went with Revolver and Abbey Road. Revolver hit me harder the first time I heard it (on account of it being my first proper encounter with the Beatles) but I think Abbey Road is a stronger record.

I went with Sgt Pepper and Revolver, my favorite Beatles' song is I'm only sleeping. Doesn't it gives you chills everytime you hear it bro?

Revolver. I absolutely love that album. Here, There, and Everywhere is such a freaking awesome song. I do love the medley at the end of Abbey Road though

Absolutely. I feel like Revolver is full of so many hidden gems. Like, people always point to stuff like Eleanor Rigby, but Lennon's contributions to Revolver are, I think, some of the best songs of his career. Also, For No One is probably the saddest song ever written.

Love the weirdness of MMT.
Although the last half of AR is... maybe my favorite piece of music... ever.

The White Album is probably my favorite.

Abbey Road is their best, technically. But Sgt. Pepper has the most impact on the evolution of music.
I voted for both Sgt. Pepper's and Magical Mystery Tour.

I think I agree. Have you listened to Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys? Paul has said Sgt. Peppers wouldn't have ever existed if not for Pet Sounds. I don't hear any drastic similarities, but Pet Sounds is indeed the shit.

yeah, as a person who lives in socal, the beach boys are a requirement. even though i like the beatles more than the beach boys, i think "god only knows" is probably the best pop song every made.
and i agree that "pet sounds" is nothing like "sgt. pepper" in style, but mccartney must have picked up something from it. regardless, both albums as you said are "indeed the shit".

Absolutely, unequivocally, their two best are Revolver and Rubber Soul. As someone said before, though, the most important is Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

I went with Sgt. Pepper's. I really like "A Day in the Life"

Every single song off of Sargent Pepper's seems to be famous, but I love Revolver.

Rubber Soul for me.

Why on earth would you separate the White Album into two different albums? The band presented it as one whole album..... my answer would be The White Album, in its entirety, but since that isn't an option, I will not cast a vote (second best is probably Revolver... Sgt. Pepper's is high in grandiose production and low in solid songwriting).

You can vote more than once. Vote for both halves.

Nice to see Revolver, Pepper, and Abbey Road leading the pack. My three personal favorites.

Brian Wilson had no idea what to do after he heard the American pressing of Rubber Soul though, so technically speaking Rubber Soul directly influenced how he wrote Pet Sounds.
I voted for Abbey Road, the second side is just absolutely amazing. Magical Mystery Tour is pretty good too.

It's close between Revolver and Abbey Road. I'd say Revolver though.

True that. It's awesome how they could openly say that other pop works were heavily influencing their music without being accused of ripping each other off. Probably because they weren't ripping each other off... But still haha

Love seeing Abbey Road voted highest at the moment, to be honest I'm a huuuuge Beatles fan and can't stand Sgt. Peppers.

Abbey Road. She Came in through the Bathroom Window and Octopus' Garden are definitely my favorite Beatle's songs

Abbey Road. The medley alone is enough to give it the edge, and then you also have those great singles on the first half.

Revolver, mainly because of Eleanor Rigby. That is and always will be my favorite Beatles song.

I love all of their records. It's impossible to deny the artistry and awesomeness of Sgt. Pepper, the White Album, or Abbey Road. I also love Help! as it was my favorite Beatles record throughout my childhood. I've got the cover of Revolver tattooed on the back of my leg, though, so it gets a nod.

That's my favorite song as well. Fun fact: It's the only Beatles song in which no member plays an instrument. I read that in my Uncle Johns bathroom reader, haha.
both white album discs, abbey road, and i think I checked a hard day's night....
win win win
btw.... rubber soul was good, although I did not check it.... imo, it was a great sound changing album. That's how I feel...
shit, THEY ARE ALL GOOD!!!!!! from the beginning to the end!

Magical Mystery Tour for me. Lots of great Beatles songs, including my favorite, I Am The Walrus are on it. I understand the greatness of Sgt. Peppers but I like the songs on MMT a little more.
Every single song off of Sargent Pepper's seems to be famous, but I love Revolver.
That's how I feel about Magical Mystery Tour... I just love it. Revolver is great too now that I'm thinking about it harder.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Clubs Band easily, with Revolver a distant second.
