I haven't got every album by The Beatles, but my favourite from my collection is Abbey Road. I like The Beatles post-Revolver. Sgt Pepper's is a great album but I prefer AR. Here Comes The Sun, Come Together, Something, Because, You Never Give Me Your Money, and the final "medley" sequence, just fantastic.

Cool Revolving around Abbey Road

I voted for Revolver and Abbey Road... the Beatles (white album) is a close second, but these 2 are the ones that I usually go back to the most.
About Abbey Road, I don't think I have anything to say after Mad Yannis' perfect description; about Revolver, apart from being blown away by the vast majority of the tracks, it's also unbelievable how did they manage to make it sound like that... it was 36 years ago!!! She Said She Said is really THE SONG-OASIS-ALWAYS-TRIED-TO-RIP-OFF-WITHOUT-EVER-SUCCEEDING, while Tomorrow Never Knows is the definitive LSD song and it hasn't grown old, as proved by the success of the '97 Chemical Brothers remix.

Moreover, those pioneering recording techniques would become staples of studio recording until today... let's not forget that the use of Leslie speakers, tape loops, backwards recordings, ADT, 24-tracks recorders and a couple more things were all developed by the Beatles and their studio equipe (George Martin and his team).

Below you can see a foolish fool fooling around Abbey Road

I chose between Sgt. Pepper's, the White Album, and Abbey Road.

Each has their own quirks (Sgt Pepper's has more studio experimentation, the White Album has a unique simplicity, Abbey Road shows the Beatles at full maturation) that makes it hard for me to pick between the three. Each is very good in it's own unique way.

I choose abbey road and revolver! I have them all but these 2 are my best. There's not much i can add about either to what has already been said but I especially like the medley off abbey road and 'Oh Darling', on revolver i like 'here, there and everywhere' and 'And Your bird can sing'.

What am i talking about.... I like all the tracksl!!!!

I voted, or at least I think I did, for all the albums I own...because honestly, to choose one favourite is futile...I could never come to decision should I have to take only one on a desert island.

I voted for Sgt. Peppers... that's the album I always enjoyed the most. Revolver & Rubber Soul were great, the White Album had some good stuff, but generally I didn't care for their latter works. I hate "Penny Lane", "Strawberry Fields", "Come Together", "All You Need Is Love"and "Let It Pee"....... However, I like "I Feel Fine", "She's A Woman", "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" & "Hello Goodbye". I admit I'm no great Beatles fan---the world has always (since 1965) been divided into two camps--Beatles or Stones. I'm for the Stones.

MMT, the film, is pretty rare (at least in America). I've only seen it for sale once, and I snapped it up, right then and there.
Apon viewing it, I saw that it was definately amusing. But it is a bit cheesy in parts, the acting (if any) isn't that great... but is definately amusing.
I believe the sequence for "I Am The Walrus" is worth the price of the video itself, along with the chance to see an amusing film (with the Beatles in it, of course.) That makes it more amusing...
I personally lost my copy (thanks to my mom), hence I haven't seen it in a while. But you may enjoy it.

You can get it here everwhere here! But if u want it you can probably get it off amazon.com. I've never seen it myself, or any of their films... tho' i hear hard days night is meant to be v.good. The only song i really like off that album is 'If I Fell' Tho.

Isn't that funny... the only songs I like off Hard Day's Night are "And I Love Her" and... "If I Fell".
(I think the best version of "And I Love Her", however, is on Anthology 1... even though it is an incomplete outtake, I do like the the way they did it on there...
More harder is the way I like it!)

Hard Day's Night was good...especially in the theaters'

Yellow Submarine was trippy, of course

And Magical Mystery Tour, well let's just say, hey it's the Bealtes and only for a buck rental!

I did enjoy the sequence of Fool on the hill, however, and the little rumor about Paul, how do I saw, letting Little Paul have a peek at the camera
