Your top 5 Beatles albums

[T'Chenka]

Which are the best 5 Beatles albums, or, which are your favourite 5?

Is it the best songs on those albums that you love, or the quality of the album front to back? There's a Dule meme that shows Chads only listening to.their favourite songs, with incels / SJWs listening to entire album front to back.

I've been thinking about this today and I'm finding it challenging to answer.

[T'Chenka]

The best album IMO...

ABBEY ROAD (1969)

GOD-TIER
- Come Together
- Something
- Because

CLASSICS
- Here Comes The Sun
- I Want You (She's So Heavy)

VERY VERY GOOD
- Oh! Darling
- You Never Give Me Your Money

VERY GOOD
- Golden Slumbers
- Octopus's Garden
- She Comes In Through The Bathroom Window
- The End

GOOD
- Carry That Weight
- Sun King
- Maxwell's Silver Hammer
- Mean Mr. Mustard
- Polythene Pam

OKAY
- Her Majesty

Don't Let Me Down is also from this time period, but it's not on the proper album so it doesn't really count.

The quality of the album is very high, with lots of different sounding songs. What more can you ask for?

Apparently I’m a chad for once in my life.

[The Dowager Mod]

Easy, 5,6,7,8,10.

[John Dule]

Because it was mentioned. Also, pleased to see all the love for Rubber Soul. Now that's one of the few albums I actually listen to from beginning through to the end with no interruptions or skips.

[MABA 2020]

Magical Mystery Tour doesn't get the respect it deserves and is easily better than Sgt Peppers imo

But Abbey Road is the best and probably the only one where I wouldn't dare ever skip a song.

[💥💥 brandon bro (he/him/his)]

1. Abbey Road
2. Revolver
3. The Beatles ("White Album")
4. Let it Be
5. Magical Mystery Tour
6. Rubber Soul
7. Beatles For Sale
8. Please Please Me
9. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
10. A Hard Day's Night
11. Help!
12. With the Beatles

I think 3-6 could be rearranged. Beatles for Sale and Magical Mystery Tour (side B) are very underrated. Help! and Sgt. Pepper's are overrated. The Naked version of Let it Be is mostly better than the 1970 version although the rocker songs (Get Back, I've Got a Feeling, One after 909) are better on the original.

edit: while I'm here, I prefer peak Stones (1968 - 1972) to peak Beatles (1966 - 1970).

[Meclazine for Israel]

Prefer their earliest most basic hits.

Not opposed to their later music at all, and their song writing prowess did not recede over time.

But the actual initial Beatles songs on the Gretsch and Rickenbacker guitars that are easiest to play are my favourites.

They sounded like a single unit all conjoined in rhythm and time. A remarkable musical development in songwriting..

Surprised to see the amount of support for Revolver. But after having listened to some of the songs on it again I had to vote for it. I like some of their more upbeat songs as opposed to some of the more, rather, esoteric & experimental '70s' riffs they had going years later on.
