Even though it has "Yellow Submarine," Revolver has my vote. Neither are my favorite from The Beatles--I much prefer Please Please Me and Rubber Soul. But yeah. Revolver. I love how self-referential it is.

I don't like the song organization on Revolver, but once I reorganized it to my liking I realized how much of a killer album it is, both historically and in song quality.

Abbey Road's second half is superb, a fantastic way to say goodbye, even if the suite was a one-man effort full of half-complete thoughts that don't explicitly tie together. The deal-breaker for me is the first half, it's saying something when Ringo's got the most memorable song of the bunch. Razz

I wouldn't go quite this far - 'Something' is fine. But I've always been disappointed by Abbey Road. I agree with Ian McDonald's Revolution in the Head - he basically thinks that The Beatles peaked in 1966-1967.
