Sgt. Pepper was so over the top and unexpected it has to be their best album. The press proclaimed the Beatles dead and out of creative ideas prior to them releasing Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane which in my opinion would have made the album untouchable if they had been included on it. Capitol wanted some new material so the two songs were released earlier then what the band wanted them to be and they made promotional movies to accompany them for their North American fans.

Another vote for Abbey Road. Side two is simply perfection.

Let It Be used to be my least favorite album of theirs, but it's odd charm has really grown on me. I've had some good memories with it.

I dig all of the LPs, although I have always been particularly enamored of "Beatles '65" (Not on the poll list). It's a really nicely balanced album of originals and well chosen & compelling covers. A lot has been made of The Beatles' love of R&B, but their influences didn't begin or end there. The inclusion of two Carl Perkins songs [well sung by Ringo ("Honey Don't") and George ("Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby")] prove that more attention should be payed to their RAB side. The originals (I feel right in pointing out "I Feel Fine", "She's A Woman", "I'm A Loser" and "Baby's In Black" in particular) are extremely well thought out and executed. Then there's John's covers of "Mr. Moonlight" (Roy Lee Johnson) and "Rock And Roll Music" (Chuck Berry). What's not to like? A great album, overall.

The Beatles do absolutely nothing for me. I've listened to quite a few of their albums, some of them multiple times over and I don't 'get' it. There is like one song I really love and the rest are just alright.

I'm guessing the one song of theirs that you like is this:

I hated them in the 60s cause it's all my older sister would listen to. I ignored them in the 70s because I was all wrapped up in Zep/Sabbath/Purple, etc. I finally "got" them in the mid 80s.

To think about what those four dudes (who were in their young 20s when they started) accomplished in the short span of only 7 years is mind blowing.

McCartney was only 23 and Lennon 25 when The Beatles recorded Revolver!!!!!
