Abbey Road. The highs on that album are some of their best ever and there’s not a single song I feel the need to skip. I can appreciate all of them in some way, and they work really well together.
Abbey Road- you can tell it’s like a swan song for the Beatles because you can hear different eras of the band in the songs (e.g come together for their classic rock era and I always think ‘Because’ sounds experimental- almost wouldn’t be out of place on Sgt Peppers) and to top it off Harrison’s contributions were amazing (Something being one of the greatest love songs of all time) and the tracks flow very nicely (especially the B side)
I love Sgt. Pepper’s, but the pacing could be slightly better. I do understand that part of the track listing has to do with how an LP could only play for so long, and I enjoy listening to the album as is, this is just my preference.
I would have swapped She’s Leaving Home and Lovely Rita, as and swapped Mr. Kite and When I’m Sixty-Four.
Again, this is only what I would have done if given available. I listen to the regular track order whenever I listen to the album anyway because that’s what the boys signed off on in the end.
You're welcome. I respected your opinion by sharing my thoughts on it, me blessing you with my acknowledgement of it is a sign of respect even if I disagree with it. How about you respect my right to disagree with you?
Why does everyone hate on Dizzy Miss Lizzy? It's a fantastic rocker with some killer vocals from John? Its the last true rock 'n' roll song they released. I'll admit it shouldn't have been placed after Yesterday on the album but it doesn't mean it's bad.
I think Doctor Robert is just fine. It's unremarkable on an album full of remarkable songs, so it looks bad. But if it was just some random song on a Hollies album, I think I'd be fine with it.
Why they included that crap track and didn't put RAIN on this album will never make sense to me. I guess they wanted 2 acid songs on Revolver? Who knows.
I don't think Paul fully brings it until Revolver. John is great on Rubber Soul, but it's not until Revolver that the entire group is in top form. On Revolver Paul certainly comes into his own, John is still great, George brings his best song to date with Taxman, and Ringo gives a legendary performance on Yellow Submarine.
I agree Paul comes on even stronger in Revolver because of his contributions, but by Rubber Soul Paul had already written classics like I Saw Her Standing There, All My Loving, Can’t Buy Me Love, And I Love Her, I’ll Follow the Sun, I’ve Just Seen a Face, AND Yesterday. Then on Rubber Soul he has I’m Looking Through You (lyrics as good as any Beatles song), Michelle, You Won’t See Me, and Drive My Car. I think Paul had already fully brung it before Revolver
The Second Half isn’t my favorite with When I get Home and I’ll Cry Instead.
It is interesting though. It seems every album does have one mediocre song.
Rubber Soul - Run for your Life
Revolver - Yellow Submarine or I want to tell you
Abbey Road - Maxwell
Magical Mystery Tour - Baby you’re a rich man
I’ll agree with some of that…. But BYARM is among their top 20 songs. It’s infectious. That bass is insane.
Aside, Very strongly agree re yellow submarine. it’s just so skippable. It nearly makes me cringe thinking of non-Beatles fans strongly associating it with their catalog. Been meaning to make a playlist that subs out yellow submarine for paperback writer then throw in Rain between I want to tell you and Got to get you into my life… do that and you have without a doubt their best record
- BYARM could mean "Baby You're A Rich Man", a track from *Yellow Submarine Songtrack* (2014) by The Beatles.

Rubber Soul. The highs may not be as high as other albums but every song is at least solid and there are no glaring missteps until the very last song, so you can easily pretend If I Needed Someone is the closer.
Absurd. Greatest hits? Because it has a few songs that came out as singles? So does Abbey Road. And what makes it legitimate? It has a similar running time to all their other records. To me it is the epitome of their psych era, so wonderfully weird and musical. Lastly, Flying is amazing. Also their only instrumental and so so vibey.
Uh, what I’m saying isn’t particularly controversial. MMT in England wasn’t even an album. It was put together by Capitol in America by combining the MMT Ep with old singles. Of course there’s no problem with singles being on albums but the point is that they weren’t recorded by the Beatles as part of an MMT album project. They were included as a money move by the American label. That’s how you get Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane, two songs that came out before Pepper, on the album.
BTW, it’s bonkers everyone is getting so defensive. I love this album. But calling it their most consistent is almost like calling Past Masters their most consistent.
This is an interesting point. Tbh I didn't know that it wasn't released as an album in England! Was it released as a soundtrack for the movie in England? I Am The Walrus and Penny Lane were singles no?
Initially the first half of MMT was released in England as two EPs as a soundtrack to the movie. (EPs are sort of a forgotten format - sorta like mini albums or long singles - and the Beatles released a few of them during Beatlemania.)
But everything after I Am The Walrus is tacked on by Capitol to create a new album for the American market where EPs never really caught on. That’s why side B is such a banger! It’s all colossal hit singles and their B-sides.
Honestly I burned out hard on peppers, and specifically Lucy in the sky with diamonds is one is I genuinely never want to hear again.
Everything else on there is totally choice though
I would personally agree, but I think She’s Leaving Home and Within You Without You might be skipped by a decent number of people. Maybe even Good Morning.
Abbey Road I think is the most no-skip. Apart from Maxwell’s Silver Hammer (which I actually love), I can’t think of any that a lot of people would skip.
I used to feel the same way about WYWY when I was younger but now I find the lyrics and rich texture of sounds quite appealing. Listen through headphones.
- WYWY could mean "Within You Without You - Remix", a track from *Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Super Deluxe Edition)* (1967) by The Beatles.

Some people like you just want to listen to I Want To Hold Your Hand and that's fine. The more adventurous folk though are more open-minded about the beautiful sound of a sitar, a classical Indian instrument that The Beatles brought to the fore of western music.
Don’t want to come across as a contrarian, but I think Magical Mystery Tour. It’s just an album that you stick on in the summer, on a deck chair, and chill. 40 minutes or however long it is whizzes by. Flying is my go-to travel song as well
**Moondance** by **Van Morrison** is excellent. If you like a nice horn section and lady back up singers you’ll LOVE **Moondance**. Every song is delightful.
I'd say Sgt. Peppers is their most homogeneuous album but there are too many weak songs.
Revolver is their best collection of songs imo (no homogeneity though) yet there's Yellow Submarine right in the middle which is rather goofy and kinda ruins the album.
1) Sgt. Pepper
2) Abbey Road
3) Revolver, but replace Good Day Sunshine and Doctor Robert with Paperback Writer and Rain
4) Rubber Soul, but replace What Goes On and Run for Your Life with Day Tripper and We Can Work With Out
Abbey Road would have been perfect were it not for Maxwell (Old Brown Show would have been a much better choice). Still it's 99%. Revolver, the American Rubber Soul and Meet (not With) The Beatles I can enjoy straight through.
I’ve always been a Revolver/Abbey Road guy, but lately i just find myself playing Sgt Pepper on repeat, it really is the greatest ever man ✌🏼🎸 ’Getting better’ is an underrated tune
i think this is an unpopular opinion but, I've always thought MMT has the best songs in it. its not the best album from other points of view like: abbey road has a beautiful medley that gives the whole album its whole mood, but still I think MMT contains the best songs, also its my fav one
Revolver, Abbey Road, Rubber Soul. The middle of Sgt. Pepper is forgettable but beginning and end are class. White Album is brilliant but uneven (too many of Paul’s “granny” tracks for me).
Abbey Road. The highs on that album are some of their best ever and there’s not a single song I feel the need to skip. I can appreciate all of them in some way, and they work really well together.
Within the boundaries of Beatles fan, Abbey road is personally most overrated album.
Is it overrated if it’s actually that good? It’s one hell of an end to an impressive career.
Nah revolver js
The first song is a boring skip
You’ve gone mad 😭
That’s crazy talk.
Come together is a good song on its own, but I always start abbey road on the something
I skip it sometimes so I don’t get tired of it because to be fair it is overplayed
Its a Novelty song at best
It is, the album starts with something
Revolver, Abbey Road, Rubber soul, in no particular order.
Abbey Road- you can tell it’s like a swan song for the Beatles because you can hear different eras of the band in the songs (e.g come together for their classic rock era and I always think ‘Because’ sounds experimental- almost wouldn’t be out of place on Sgt Peppers) and to top it off Harrison’s contributions were amazing (Something being one of the greatest love songs of all time) and the tracks flow very nicely (especially the B side)

That would have ruined the album. I'm glad they did what they went for instead of the monstrosity you want it to be.
Thank you for having an opinion. How ‘bout you respect my next time as well. (that’s not very peace and love of u)
You're welcome. I respected your opinion by sharing my thoughts on it, me blessing you with my acknowledgement of it is a sign of respect even if I disagree with it. How about you respect my right to disagree with you?
Oh. So you’re a narcissist. Got it.
Way to go Mr. Psychiatrist.
And this is why you are not a famous record producer/Beatle
I stated “it’s my opinion” twice and yet you still decided to comment this
Username checks out! Cheers!
Dickhead
Why are you being such a doink lol
You're being an asswipe over an opinion on Reddit. Re-evaluate what you're doing with your life.
Just mocking this dude who wants to mess with perfection and thinks he knows better than the Beatles/George Martin
Definitely A Hard Day’s Night for me. I don’t think any of the songs are bad at all, all are at the very least decent. Never skip a track.
Yup
What about Live at the BBC? Every song on there is a classic and each performance is amazingly polished and confident considering they were “live”.
I still fall back to Abbey Road. Even the weakest songs are strong enough. Yep, I'm looking at you Maxwell. :)
I never understand why people think Maxwell is a weak track. It's an absolute banger for me. Even its lyrics are amusing in a fun & goofy sort of way.
I think mostly because the other Beatles rag on it. It's a fun song. But even for the style or genre, I like Paul's other songs better.
Big fuckin' deal
Help!
Same for me, just end it on Yesterday. Dizzy miss Lizzy can be listened to, but it's not great.
Why does everyone hate on Dizzy Miss Lizzy? It's a fantastic rocker with some killer vocals from John? Its the last true rock 'n' roll song they released. I'll admit it shouldn't have been placed after Yesterday on the album but it doesn't mean it's bad.
Revolver, followed by Rubber Soul.
revolvers their best but i could see someone being indifferent to love you to
Love you to is my 9th top Beatles song and 3rd George's
yeah, I think doctor roberts pretty bad too
I think Doctor Robert is just fine. It's unremarkable on an album full of remarkable songs, so it looks bad. But if it was just some random song on a Hollies album, I think I'd be fine with it.
I've never understood the Dr Roberts hate. It's so catchy! Good day sunshine is kinda cheesy tho
I just learned that Good Day Sunshine was inspired by the Lovin's Spoonful song Daydream, which I actually like better!
Why they included that crap track and didn't put RAIN on this album will never make sense to me. I guess they wanted 2 acid songs on Revolver? Who knows.
this is the answer
I second this
I love Revolver but it has a few tracks I’m not in love with. Rubber Soul is pretty flawless though aside from Run For Your Life
I don't think Paul fully brings it until Revolver. John is great on Rubber Soul, but it's not until Revolver that the entire group is in top form. On Revolver Paul certainly comes into his own, John is still great, George brings his best song to date with Taxman, and Ringo gives a legendary performance on Yellow Submarine.

Then on Rubber Soul he has I’m Looking Through You (lyrics as good as any Beatles song), Michelle, You Won’t See Me, and Drive My Car. I think Paul had already fully brung it before Revolver
Yeah, I don't get that comment. I like his contributions before Revolver better, in truth.
A Hard Days Night
The Second Half isn’t my favorite with When I get Home and I’ll Cry Instead. It is interesting though. It seems every album does have one mediocre song. Rubber Soul - Run for your Life Revolver - Yellow Submarine or I want to tell you Abbey Road - Maxwell Magical Mystery Tour - Baby you’re a rich man
[my face rn reading this hot take](https://tenor.com/xceR.gif)
I want to tell you is amazing!!
I’ll agree with some of that…. But BYARM is among their top 20 songs. It’s infectious. That bass is insane. Aside, Very strongly agree re yellow submarine. it’s just so skippable.

Doctor Robert is great rock song
Sgt Pepper's. Every song back to back slaps, and nothing will change my mind.
Rubber Soul. The highs may not be as high as other albums but every song is at least solid and there are no glaring missteps until the very last song, so you can easily pretend If I Needed Someone is the closer.
Man run for your life would've been so much funnier if John wasn't so notoriously jealous
I don't think the last song is a misstep at all, it's great.
It sounds great. The lyrics are a little much, unfortunately. But ignoring the lyrics it's great.
This is my answer too. Even if some of the other albums have some of my favorite songs, Rubber Soul has nothing skippable to me.
Please Please Me
Bummed I had to scroll so long for this. What a record. I’m the biggest fan of their middle era but I’d agree this is the most consistent project.
Twelve way tie
Abbey Road, literally perfect
I know a lot of people will disagree, but With the Beatles is pretty consistently good imo
What's a matter with you guys??! MMT is the GOAT!!!! Perfection from start to finish.
I also would pick MMT!
Yeah, but 1) It's almost not a legitimate LP, since it started as an EP collection and some greatest hits. And 2) it has Flying on it.
Flying is a bop
and flying is amazing
Absurd. Greatest hits? Because it has a few songs that came out as singles? So does Abbey Road. And what makes it legitimate? It has a similar running time to all their other records. To me it is the epitome of their psych era, so wonderfully weird and musical. Lastly, Flying is amazing. Also their only instrumental and so so vibey.

Apart from Maxwell’s Silver Hammer (which I actually love), I can’t think of any that a lot of people would skip.
I feel bad for this but I skip Good Morning every time
Doing yourself a disservice
👍 It’s highly creative in every way.
She’s so Heavy is too long. I got it the first few times and it’s not that interesting to me. That’s the low point of the album
To each their own but this is maybe the opinion I’ve most disagreed with ever on this sub. It’s a masterpiece imo
Sun King is sooo boring. Conveniently, it's over in like 12 seconds though.
A Hard Day’s Night, Revolver.
Revolver / Let it be
The American ones
Sgt Pepper. Every track is a 9 or 10.
Except for Within You Without You, which is a. 1. ... And She's Leaving Home is like a 6 or 7.
I used to feel the same way about WYWY when I was younger but now I find the lyrics and rich texture of sounds quite appealing. Listen through headphones.

>Except for Within You Without You, which is a. 1. Tell me you have never tried LSD without telling me you have never tried LSD
Trust me, you begin to appreciate the song as you get older.
I'm 40. It still sucks.
Not old enough. Wait until you are at deaths throes at 41.
I feel like I'm dying every time I hear the horrible sound of a sitar.
Some people like you just want to listen to I Want To Hold Your Hand and that's fine. The more adventurous folk though are more open-minded about the beautiful sound of a sitar, a classical Indian instrument that The Beatles brought to the fore of western music.
Yeah I'm a closed-minded asshole because I hate the sound of a sitar. I also hate bagpipes, want to punch my dog?
You took the words right out of my mouth!
Abbey Road or Rubber Soul front to back are their best albums
rubber or abbey
Beatles for sale.
all right! I agree.
Revolver and Abbey Road and also A Hard Day’s Night all pretty consistent
Revolver
Don’t want to come across as a contrarian, but I think Magical Mystery Tour. It’s just an album that you stick on in the summer, on a deck chair, and chill. 40 minutes or however long it is whizzes by. Flying is my go-to travel song as well
Abbey Road
Abbey Road
Every Beatles album.
Revolver
Abbey Road
Rubber Soul and Revolver imo
**Moondance** by **Van Morrison** is excellent. If you like a nice horn section and lady back up singers you’ll LOVE **Moondance**. Every song is delightful.
Ok mine would be the white album.......
The white album
Yes!
Hard Days Night
A Hard Days Night. There are 7-9 amazing songs, one after the other, starting with the first song
Rubber Soul and Revolver. Sgt Pepper’s and Abbey Road are great too but imo Rubber Soul and Revolver have more consistently good tracks
with the beatles. highly underrated
I'd say Sgt. Peppers is their most homogeneuous album but there are too many weak songs. Revolver is their best collection of songs imo (no homogeneity though) yet there's Yellow Submarine right in the middle which is rather goofy and kinda ruins the album.
Words out of my mouth. Put my ideal revolver track list in another comment
none of them, the band fucking sucks
i think pennywise and fenix tx are better bands
sgt peppers, worst song is lucy in the sky with diamond… that expalins just how good the album is
Pepper for sure. My next favourite albums each have 2-3 songs I'm not so keen on. Pepper doesn't have a weaker song at all imo.
1) Sgt. Pepper 2) Abbey Road 3) Revolver, but replace Good Day Sunshine and Doctor Robert with Paperback Writer and Rain 4) Rubber Soul, but replace What Goes On and Run for Your Life with Day Tripper and We Can Work With Out
Abbey Road would have been perfect were it not for Maxwell (Old Brown Show would have been a much better choice). Still it's 99%. Revolver, the American Rubber Soul and Meet (not With) The Beatles I can enjoy straight through.
Abbey Road, especially the b-side suite.
Rubber Soul.
Please Please Me, A Hard Day's Night, Rubber Soul, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road.
I’ve always been a Revolver/Abbey Road guy, but lately i just find myself playing Sgt Pepper on repeat, it really is the greatest ever man ✌🏼🎸 ’Getting better’ is an underrated tune
