Abbey Road is brilliant.
The best Beatles album. Easily.

I meant in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, Sgt. Pepper is an iconic album, and it's definitely in my top five, but it's a bit overrated. To me, there are just a few weak tracks on there - 'Within You Without You' and 'Good Morning Good Morning' aren't particular favorites of mine - but, as a whole listening experience, it's a mindblast from start to finish. As for the White Album, there are definitely weak tracks on there, but they're fun and enjoyable (with the exception of 'Revolution 9', which should only be listened to when you're stoned off your gourd). So Sgt. Pepper is a great album, but it's not representative of what The Beatles were all about.
In my opinion, of course.

Revolution #9 is under-rated. Its John Lennon's version of Avant-Garde. His nod towards the Mothers Of Invention(John and Zappa would work together awhile later).

I don't own any Beatles albums but I've learnt from my dad about the status of Sgt. Pepper. From what I've heard 'Revolver' sounds like a great album, as does 'Abbey Road' not too sure about White Album though...

Yeah, I know you weren't criticizing me, I just thought I'd clarify what I meant so that I don't get rabid Beatles fans (excluding me) screaming "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT SGT. PEPPER!!!!!"

Hahaha, I know what you mean. I'm not a great fan of the Who, (although I think they are really technically excellent and influential etc.) my dedicated Who-fan friend won't accept the fact that I prefer Led Zep IV over Who's Next. You'll probably crucify me for saying that but hey!
HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT SGT. PEPPER!!!!!
I'm also fairly sure that Back in the U.S.S.R's title is a parody of Chuck Berry's Back in the U.S.A. Just sayin', is all.
I used to think that Sgt. Pepper was the be all and end all - and why not - bleedin' She's Leaving Home, A Day in the Life and my favourite of the album When I'm Sixty-Four! Then I realised it was just rock and roll at varying speeds (bar WISF which...is phenomenally awesome)
Funnily enough I used to shun the earlier Beatles albums but now they contain some of me favourite Beatles songs.
Anywho Ringo and George were right when they said they probably could have released it as two seperate albums - The White Album and The Whiter Album..yep, those were the days.

Just listening to the album for the second time, and finished the first cd.
What a lovely song Julia is....

The White Album is the first beatles album I ever bought...I absolutely love it... it's got to be one of the best albums ever, not a bad song. I love YER BLUES and every other song
I don't get what "Revolution 9" is all about. It's boring.... Apart from that, I love the whole album. =]
