I didn't expect TK to have a wide acting rangeI'm not blaming him by the way. I think he could have done way more.
Listened to Let it Be a lot since Get Back came out. Love Across the Universe, Two of Us, The Long and Winding, on that record.
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.
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.
'd the spelling of the title! 
White Album, I feel like anyone who chooses another album is just entering his wing-wang into a hipster dick measuring contest.
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.
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.
Sgt and its not even close
that you got to listen to the rest of your life, what would you pick? You never got to hear a song from any of the others again, and you can't choose a greatest hit album of any sort.
Could you make it so that if we hear a song from one of the other albums, we would turn into sparrows or something?
You guys who aren't choosing White album are choosing an existence without Rocky Raccoon. Think about that.
Oh wow, we are on opposite sides (A and B) of the Abbey Road fence.
Well yeah, obviously conventional inside-the-box type thinking would agree with you. I however feel a strong attraction to the unconventional nature of the B-side medley. The uniqueness of the b-side combined with the universally acknowledged excellence of the a-side closes this case.
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"

this is all good stuff but there are so many skips
What I say to that is
Obla di Obla da life goes on.
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.
Wacky, once you remove the experimental hippy period, the Beatles are just words, melodies, and harmonies that go together well. It's pure pop music. There's no deep meaning.
The lyrics are timeless.
Well, I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
Or I won't know where I am
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end, little girl
