I can't stand Abbey Road.

Personally my favourites are everything from Help ('65), to Magical Mystery Tour ('67)
Help, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Peppers.
Out of the 4 I voted Revolver, no particular reason really, other than I have a Revolver tshirt.

I have no idea what it is about Abbey Road that I don't like.
I just don't.
Maybe it's the popularity, and who the album is popular with.
Here Comes The Sun, Come Together, Something, She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, Golden Slumbers... I don't really like any of them that much.
It's probably a better album than some of the others I listen to, but if I'm gonna listen to a Beatles album, I go with my preferred albums.
My favourite songs from Abbey Road are Carry That Weight, and Her Majesty, and they're both disappointingly short.

It's so close to a three-way tie for my top Beatles Album. In order, it's probably:

Sgt. Pepper's
Revolver
Rubber Soul

...with Abbey Road not too far behind.

Revolver
The White Album
Abbey Road
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
A Hard Day's Night
Rubber Soul
Beatles For Sale
With The Beatles
Let It Be
Help!
Please Please Me

Yellow Submarine is only half a Beatles album and should have remained an EP like the band originally intended it to be.

Abbey Road by a small margin. All of their albums are amazing, though, even their early ones. My Beatles list, in order:

Abbey Road
The White Album
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Magical Mystery Tour
Revolver
Rubber Soul
Let It Be
Beatles For Sale
Hard Day's Night
With The Beatles
Help!
Please Please Me

Yellow Submarine doesn't count, but if it did, it'd be at the bottom anyways. Still, I'm not sure how much point there is to this list - the top 5 are all 10's, and the bottom one is like a 7 anyways. Which, I might add, is why The Beatles rule so friggin' much.

Ahh, I forgot to add Magical Mystery tour to my list! It too was technically an ep when it was initially released in the UK. The second, amazing half was added to the U.S. release and included tracks from A sides and B sides left off prior LPs. But to hell with semantics, I'd place it 7th on my list after Beatles For Sale.
