White Album. It has a diverse array of songs.

Has a great John track- "Happiness is a Warm Gun"
Has a great Paul track- "Blackbird"
Rocky Raccoon!
Has a great George Harrison track- "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

The only down side is it does not have "Oh! Darling" which is the greatest Beatles song of all time. That said, it has variety and depth which is going to be an advantage in this scenario imo.

Sarcasm? Is your second favorite "Why don't we do it in the road?"

No. Oh! Darling is a great song. Like, it is really, really, really great. What is your favorite Beatles song? It would be difficult to have a good conversation about this without understanding where you are coming from.

White also has Back in the USSR which I really enjoy.

Just listened to this between innings. I am glad you enjoy it, but imo it is really not interesting or musically good or original, compared to almost everything else the Beatles wrote.

I am just going to have to go with Abbey Road on this one. Revolver and White Album have my 2 favorite Beatles songs on them, but everything on Abbey Road is so damn good.

White Album, I feel like anyone who chooses another album is just entering his wing-wang into a hipster dick measuring contest. Also, "Long, long, long" is my current favorite Beatles tune (I'm not sure you can have an all time fav Beatles tune, I bet everybody's fav has changed more than once over their lifetime).

that's a very hipster favorite Beatles song, ron jeremy

This is Side 2 of the beatles' "second best" album of 1967

It's Abbie Road and it's not even close. I would even accept Abbie Road B-side only.

Can't believe I immediately won this thread more than 7 years ago.

Rubber Soul is not the best Beatles album but let me tell you why it's my favorite.

it has the very first beatles song that i loved (norwegian wood)
it has the best ringo song (what goes on)
it has the first great george song (if i needed someone)
it has a great wink wink sex joke song (drive my car)
it doesn't have a trash ass wtf paul genre song. the closest thing is michelle, and michelle is effing great
it has 14 songs and only one skip (think for yourself)
it has the most lol cringe john song (run for your life) but damn if it isn't catchy af
it has one of the very best john songs (in my life)
imo this is the last album that fully belongs to john. Norwegian Wood, In My Life, Nowhere Man, Girl, Wait. none of Paul's top 5 (10?) songs are on Rubber Soul, but he has several good ones (You Won't See Me, Drive My Car, Michelle, I'm Looking Through You)
along with Help! (also in 1965) this is when they started doing more badass music stuff (more prominent bass, more intricate guitar from george, sitar on norwegian wood, the cool drone thing on you won't see me, etc), but before going fully nuts in 1967 and 1968. it's a very transitional album which is kind of cool.

I feel like you've had to do some type of really hard drugs to like the Beatles. I honestly don't get it, at all.

I think they are best appreciated in the context in which they were making music.

Like, listen to some of the other mainstream stuff when they came out and it’s very different.

And they wrote their own and had creative control.
