Tbone, I also believe that in The Beatles dedicated fanbase Abbey Road is underrated. There's a difference between people buy the albums and ones who discuss on forums about them and go into depth. Revolver has always been the fan favourite in the Beatles dedicated fanbase, while it isn't as popular as Abbey Road in the "people who just buy the albums" base and vice versa.
I do agree with you about Within You Without You. So underrated on the Sgt. Pepper's album, it's way better than it's predecessor Love You To, although they are similar in a lot of aspects.
Choosing a top Beatles album is an extremely difficult thing to do, mine has always changed. It use to be Please Please Me, then it was Revolver, then Abbey Road and now it's Sgt. Pepper. Although it's in battle with Revolver. I think the only thing that's keeping it on top from Revolver is Within You Without You.
