I do not think Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band is the best Beatles album. It IS a great album, and was the 1st Beatles album I ever heard. I just think it gets a little overrated for what it is.

The songs vary from some of my favorites to some that I forget.

BEST
-----

Lonely Rita
Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart's Club Band (Reprise)
Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart's Club Band
She's Leaving Home
Within You, Without You


^ These songs are just fantastic. I can always listen to those.


FORGETTABLE
--------------

Getting Better
Fixing A Hole
Being The Benefit Of Mr. Kite
When I'm Sixty-Four
Good Morning

^ These songs I just don't think are memorable.

What about "With A Little Help From My Friends, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, & A Day In The Life?"

Those songs are great, yet are overplayed.


The songs are great, I just hear them SO much that it kind of wares off in the end. Again, they are not bad. I just think they get way too much radio play.


What are my favorite albums by The Beatles?
(Get Ready... I might get someone mad)


Revolver And Rubber Soul


Revolver and Rubber Soul barely have any songs that radio plays. Probably the most I hear on the radio are Norwegian Wood, Yellow Submarine, Taxman, and Eleanor Rigby.

These albums are overlooked by a lot of people. A lot of songs may be forgettable to some but that is their own opinion. Just like this list.


Again, this is all opinion. Leave your opinions below.
Clearly if you think a song like Fixing A Hole is forgettable along with all the others this may be why you are having problems thinking this album is their best, or one of them. In my opinion the album must be listened to as a entire piece of work to get what the Beatles were trying to accomplish here......We could debate for moths or years for that matter the good and bad of this album, but in the long run I believe the entire album is a masterpiece.
