This is one of my go-to albums at the moment. I play it regularly. It's definitely a favourite.
It takes me just over an hour and a half to get to my Parents' house so I can listen to the whole album either on the way there or on the way home. And I visit my Parents a lot so this album gets big licks. I even love Don't Pass Me By ("You were in a car crash/And you lost your hair" cracks me up). And I almost never skip Revolution 9. It's fun.
Too many favourites but if I had to pick a few it would be: Happiness Is A Warm Gun, Dear Prudence, Julia and Blackbird. And Bungalow Bill and Mother Nature's Son. But I like em all.
And I have the 50th Anniversary version on CD. It sounds great. I think Giles Martin did a good job.
My life would be poorer without this album.

I sometimes think this album is overrated... and then I put it on and I'm always... amazed is the wrong word... but yeah, surprised I suppose at ever turn. Solid for sure.

I envy those not yet familiar with it. Then again, this album is a case of "familiarity breeds delight". Whatever the mood I'm in.

Arguably the most innovative album in history. Everything from heavy metal, to jazz-rock, to experimental folk-rock, to thick balladry, started here...

Just started digging into this album the other day and I was blown away.
These are tremendous and groundbreaking for its time.
Also, show some love for Dear Prudence's bass line

It's a mess and less than half the songs are actually any good. Give me literally any prior Beatles record over this.

You'd rather listen to With The Beatles or Beatles For Sale?
