Each Beatle gets their time to shine individually here; but, most importantly, they work together so well. Every track works perfectly, and I consider the medley on Side 2 to be their greatest achievement. The whole here is greater than the sum of its parts, and that's saying something.
Favorite Tracks: Side 2 Medley
Worst Tracks: Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Oh! Darling [First added to this chart: 01/04/2019]

The first rock album I ever really loved. Any album that opens with "Airbag" and closes with "The Tourist" would be high on my list, yet there's so much more in between. Such a unique sound, and really ushers in the Digital Age.
Favorite Tracks: Airbag, Subterranean Homesick Alien, Paranoid Android, Climbing Up the Walls, Lucky
Worst Tracks: Fitter Happier [First added to this chart: 01/04/2019]

One of the only "concept albums" I've really liked, it's just larger than life. The beauty is how it manages to be coherent despite so many different sounds on each track. After so many listens, it's the one Beatles album that I'm still learning to enjoy more.

I like your choices. A lot of music in common, so many classic albums here. I wonder what shape will it take when you get to 100 albums.
