I I do not disrespect the opinion, but I am _insanely puzzled_ by the adulation of Revolver. Someone please explain to me the big deal. I own about 5 Beatles albums. This is my bottom one. Someone mentioned Love, Rigby and Tomorrow. Those are the three songs on the album that I think showed the Beatles doing something as artists. The rest sound… Ahem, trying to stay polite. Please explain what the hell is so good about this album! ---

It’s a tossup between **The White Album** and **Abbey Road**. If I had to pick one, though, I’d go with **The White Album**. ---

_Revolver_ all the way, followed by a 2-way tie for second between _Rubber Soul_ and _Abbey Road_, followed by a, lemmee see, nine-way tie for third between everything else except _Yellow Submarine_, which is fourth. ---

I have three favorites that change basicly daily. As of right now its 1)White 2)Abbey Road 3)Revolver. **Earl off CC** , I can’t explain “Revolver.” I didn’t really like it until I fell in love. One spring day I was walking down the street and the song “Good Day, Sunshine” popped into my head. Since then I’ve loved it. ---

Sgt Pepper, closely followed by The White Album (which could have been the top choice if they had pruned it a bit). Favourite songs: 1. She’s leaving home (I love it. Sue me) 2. Blackbird 3. Eleanor Rigby 4. Lucy in the sky with diamonds 5. A day in the life 6. The ballad of John and Yoko 7. Yesterday 8. Strawberry fields forever 9. Penny Lane 10. If I fell ---

In the past I’ve said Revolver, mainly because I never heard it as a kid so it was less familiar, but now I find I’ve changed my mind, it actually ties second with Sgt Pepper after an 4-way tie of: Hard Days Night Help Rubber Soul Abbey Road I can not separate them, sorry I’m not sure where I fit the White Album in, someone nicked mine a few years back an if not heard it for a bit. ---

**Abbey Road** is my favorite. I love the side B suites, especially the bit between \*Carry That Weight \* and _In the End_, where Ringo has a drum solo, then John, George, and Paul duke it out on guitars. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-beatles-album/234194.md?page=1)
