inspired by bw92116 in the "best album ever" post.
here's a thread dedicated to arguing about the best Beatles' album.
 
No, not hands down. :) It's certainly the most varied. It's like a two-pound Whitman's Sampler, a bit of everything - much of it good, some of it not so. If I'm looking for variety, that's the one I grab.

If I want to hear a band starting to press against the constraints of pop music, Rubber Soul & Revolver are the way to go.

If I want a great cohesive work, it's tough to top Abbey Road.

If I want a great collection of pop songs, I grab Hard Day's Night, or perhaps the "red" album collection.

Just depends on what you're looknig for. There IS no best Beatles album.

But my 2cents -- Rubber Soul
 
Help!

As an aside (because otherwise the message is too short) there are a pair of buskers on the high street and every time I pass them (must have been about seven times by now) they are singing Help!.
 
there are lots of really, really great songs on The White Album. enough to make up for the really odd/bad songs.
i could be argued that if they had left off some of the filler tracks it would be THE best album ever written.

forever i argued that Sgt. Pepper's is the best.

currently, i really dig Abbey Road.
I Want You (She's So Heavy) is such a great rock song.
 
There is no such album as "The White Album" or "White Album" ;)
 
The Beatles aka "The White Album" is a great piece of work... Everyone should own at least one copy :)

I have the LP(2 in fact) and CD
 
I've always thought that Sgt. Pepper was overrated; and the concept is derived (if not ripped off) from the Kinks' classic 'Village Green Preservation Society' which came out about six months beforehand.

My favorites are the soundtrack to 'Help', 'Rubber Soul', and 'Revolver'. After that, the Beatles were not so much a cohesive group as they were four solo artist backing each other up; at a time when the Stones were truly coming together as a band. The Beatles came together as a group one more time for the Abbey Road Suite, which featured uncredited fifth Beatle (and sixth Stone) Eric Clapton. All one has to do is listen to the leads on 'The End', 'Sympathy for the Devil', and anything by Cream, and it is obvious who is playing. ECs late sixties style was immistakable.

Mind you, I don't think the best Beatles album is necessarily the best album ever. I'd make a strong case for 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars' (after all Bowie did make it cool to be queer), 'Blonde on Blonde' ('Visions of Johanna' and 'Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands' can make me cry), 'Highway 61 Revisited', 'Let it Bleed', Led Zep VI, and, of course, the dark majesty of 'Exile on Main Street'-- his Mickness sounds so magnificently strung out. And I almost forgot: the A-Bros live at Filmore East. Also Derek and the Dominos, w/EC and Duane.

It's not The White Album. It's the white album.

Haha Ya, I Never Have Liked The Beatles, So Overrated, But I Can See Why SOme People Do, With 20 #1 Hits In The US, And possibly Close To A Billion Sales Worldwide, I Dont Doubt Their Impact on Music, I have Always Preffered The STONES!
 
I prefer the Stones, Zeppelin and mabye even the Yardbirds, but I do like the Beatles.

My favorite album is Revolver. Not a big fan of "the White Album."
 
I remember when there was a "Beatles #1" album selling like hot cakes.

I was working in purchasing at HMV in Toronto and I was up on the sales floor helping out at Christmas and a customer asked me "Is there going to be a Beatles #2?"

After I stifled a giggle, I said "Yeah, that's every song by Ringo."
