I could divide the Beatles albums in three categories:

Excellent albums: Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Abbey Road.

Very good albums: A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Magical Mystery Tour, and The White Album.

Good albums: Please Please Me, With The Beatles, Beatles For Sale, and Let It Be.

I don't take Yellow Submarine into account because it's just half a Beatles album.

I have to get in the Can't Do It Line with Barry, Kev, Dave and anyone else who came before us. I was gonna try. I wanted to just shout "Geronimo" but when I started studying the list I realized I'd have to shout "Oh sh*t!" and gave up!

for me with the exception of YS they are all 10/10

due in a big way to the way they changed the musical horizon and culture of the time

I never understand the poor rating for Let It Be, brilliant tracks throughout that album   ;D

This is like jumping out of a plane I imagine... if you think too long about these things, doubt sets in and you daren't/can't post.

That's a perfect description, and it's one reason why I haven't posted in this thread yet: been mulling it over too long. I'll have to take a mental break from it and jump back in with my list.

That's a pretty good division. Although in doing my list I avoided trying to come up with a concept of what was better and just listed the ones I generally preferred. As others have said, there is such little between their albums that's it's very hard to make a sensible ranking. And the different styles make it harder. Abbey Road is a totally different beast to Hard Days night. And Sgt Pepper is different to all the other Beatle albums. Very hard to sensibly compare in a "best" sense.

That Excellent/VG/Good list doesn't really recognise the impact of each LP at the time.

If it did, the most successful LP in terms of weeks at No. 1 in the UK, 'Please Please Me', would not be in the lower category and, given the mania that surrounded their first film, neither would 'A Hard Day's Night'.

Also in Britain, though probably not in the States, I think 'Sgt. Pepper's' would now be more likely to be in the 'very good' rather than the 'excellent' list.

I love every Beatles album; only Yellow Submarine is disposable in my opinion. My ratings are only relative, because I do consider that some Beatles albums are better than others.

About the impact of each album that oldbrownshoe mentioned, I think it's an important factor, but I've mainly considered the quality (always according to my ears) of the actual content.

6. Help
7. Sgt. Pepper's
8. Beatles For Sale
9. Let It Be

Finally got round to do this properly and, of course, it is heavily reliant on what I like right now.

1. A Hard Day's Night (propelled up many places by the anniversary and the re-release of the film)
2. With The Beatles (picked up on CD for £2 a month ago, forgot how great it is)
3. Please Please Me
4. Revolver
5. White Album
6. Beatles For Sale (this will inevitably move up on the 50th anniversary as I plan to get a new CD of it on that day)
7. Let It Be
8. Abbey Road
9. Help!
10. Rubber Soul
11. Sgt. Pepper's
12. Yellow Submarine

Despite Sgt. Pepper's being so low, I still think it's better than anything in the last 42 years.

Yep, going to put 'Beatles For Sale' at No. 1 for the time being, and all the others can drop down a place.

I find it incredible that, with the exception of 'Yellow Submarine', and even then I bet some kids love it because of the film, a case can be made for pretty much any of their albums being the best one.

That's pretty acurate as far as my opinion goes. I would put A Hard Day's Night higher tho.

Yes, I think that's a pretty good list. I especially agree with the Top 3, even though Rubber Soul is my favorite album, Sgt. Pepper and Revolver are also excellent and probably more revolutionary. However, in my opinion Abbey Road is better than The White Album; and I think that A Hard Day's Night and Help! are better than Please Please Me and Let It Be.
