Mr Kite is genius as pop songs go, so inventive and interesting whilst being appealing and simple at the same time. A Day in the Life is also just one of the best album closes ever.

However, I prefer Revolver and it's mixture of sounds and styles, psychedelic overall, but with slow ballads and rockier stuff infused to form short, sharp songs that are really timeless. Pepper kind of loosely has a concept briefly, but it doesn't quite lead anywhere musically, so although I think every track on there is really good and works, I think the Beatles are best at their best when their albums are eclectic and concise, which is why Revolver, The White Album, and Abbey Road are all stronger in my opinion.
