    This is going to take me some time. #1 and #2 that I know for sure are Rubber Soul and A Hard Days Night. This list will take some thinking for me.

    I mean, at any point my #1 can be literally anything from Rubber Soul through Abbey Road. Yes, that includes Magical Mystery Tour, which usually claims the top spot.

    I'm too schizo on the beatles. It changes daily. But revolver and rubber soul are consistently near the top fwiw.

    White Album
    Revolver
    Let it Be

    The earlier albums are great singles albums, but I find it harder to rank them

    I tried, but I couldn't do it. At number one it would be Sgt. Pepper, Rubber Soul, Let it Be or Revolver. When you have that many in contention for the first spot, it's nigh-impossible to finish.

    Yeah, looking at the few albums I did list I already want to change them... :lol: Too much great stuff in their catalog..it's really impossible for me to rank.

    Recently listened to all the LPs again several times over and my only change is that I moved Abbey Road down the list

    Let it Be
    White Album
    Abbey Road
    Revolver
    Rubber Soul
    The rest can fall to the back. Lots of great tunes on the remaining albums but I don't listen to any of them all the way through. Someone above called them Singles albums and I totally understand what that means.
