So, what’s your favorite? I usually like best whatever I’m listening to, but my all time favorite is **Abbey Road**. I think this has more (and better) Beatle type rock than any of their other albums. My second favorite is **The White Album**. I even like _Revolution #9_; I used to listen with headphones and see what I could hear in it. ---

**White Album** , with **Abbey Road** a close second. ---

**Rubber Soul** without a doubt. Second place, hmmm, pretty close tie between **Revolver** and **Abbey Road**. **Rubber Soul** is my favorite album of all time, by anyone. ---

My favorite album _as an album_–that is, not necessarily the one with all my very favorite songs on it–would be _Sgt Pepper_, with _Abbey Road_ a close second. The one with my mostest favoritest songs, though, would be _Magical Mystery Tour_. ---

I can’t choose between **Revolver** and **The White Album**. They’re my co-favorites. ---

Used to be the White Album. But after hearing B]Abbey Road\*\* a few more times, I’ve changed my mind. Just brilliant.[ ---

**Revolver**. Absolutely the peak of their sound, before the drugs started doing serious damage. **Rubber Soul** and **Abbey Road** are tied for second. I have a soft spot for **Help!** , but that’s because it was my one true companion on a long a hellish road trip my parents dragged me and the sibs along on in junior high, not because of the music per se. ---

That album is currently in heavy rotation in my car (my son loves it), and it has killer songs: Help!, The Night Before, You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away, Ticket to Ride, Another Girl, You’re Going to Lose That Girl, I’ve Just Seen a Face, Tell Me What You See, Yesterday, It’s Only Love…it’s _all_ good… In answer to the OP, I just can’t pick one…whichever CD is playing at the moment… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favorite-beatles-album/168025.md?page=2)
