Sgt Pepper's is a good album and I agree with your list of "forgettable" songs, but adding 'Within you, without you" to it.
About the 'overplayed' ones,well, it's not a coincidence that some of the best songs in every album are the ones that end up being played the most, because a song will seem overplayed to whoever listens to that station very often, but they expect any number of "new listeners" every day... also perhaps they were the most audience-requested songs of their time.
Back to the main subject, The Beatles best album is, imo, Abbey Road (from their second period -or after they overhauled their style-). From the first period, my favorite albums are Rubber Soul and Help.
