White Album
I'm picking the White Album under the caveat that there's no real wrong choice here, and I could probably make an argument why any of the options were the best choice.
However, I'm picking the White Album because it's the synergy point between conceptualism, songcraft, and commercial appeal.
There will never be another band like The Beatles. It's a real shame John Lennon was such a piece of shit.

I don’t like the Beatles.

Oh yeah, I like Eleanor Rigby. That’s a keeper.
Just their general oeuvre I am not a fan of.

Sgt. Pepper and The White album have their worst songs (Revolution 9 / Long Long Long and Within You, Without You / She's Leaving Home)
but even still, that's like saying the worst 4 winning lottery tickets
I absolutely adore She's leaving home. The chorus may be one of my favorite musical moments of all time.
"Sheeeeeeeee's
Leeaaaviiiiiing
Hooooooooome
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years"
What a perfect summation of the alienation and loneliness of adolescence.
Oh it's an amazingly put together song, but man, what a downer
Really? I find it strangely optimistic. Setting out on your own, finding the person you become. Classic coming of age stuff.
Now For no one, that's a downer. Beautiful, but a downer.

Which Beatle is your favorite and why is he George Harrison
I like McCartney because he's defiantly uncool and boring while also being a stone cold genius. He was on Adam Buxton's podcast a few weeks ago and he was happily talking about his love for panel shows and doing utterly ordinary stuff your dad would do. Oh that Lee Mack is quick, isn't he?
I love this clip of them with Morecambe and Wise. HELLO BONGO.
There was no way to specific in the poll so I'd like to clarify that I'm voting for "let It Be... Naked" which is just so much better than Specter's mangling of the material.
I have a real soft spot for very experienced musicians trying to write the music they wrote as young musicians but with all the fancy stuff they learned in between.
I’ve long maintained that if only one rock band will be listened to in 200 years, it will be The Beatles. The amount of creativity and talent on display is frankly astonishing. Also the amount of drugs they did, holy shit, so much drugs.
There is debate over whether they were better before or after they became a studio-only band but there shouldn’t be because the answer is after.
But in the interest of fairness I have included albums from when they were just a really good pop boy band.
Be prepared to defend your answer, possibly to the death.
And this is why everyone hates Moral Philosophy Professors Beatles fans.

Basically every relevant popular musician of the last 50 years would agree with the statement though, is the thing.
The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.

Yeah that's not even close to true. It wasn't true when the Beatles were fresh and it sure ain't true for the last twenty years. I promise that there are a lot of rap musicians that do not give a shot about the Beatles.

5: White Album
4: Abbey Road
3: Help
2: Please Please Me
1: Revolver
also, I need to strike the Abbey Road Medly from my #5 spot and add their cover of Kansas City
Gotta be White Album, it's unparalleled. I don't think there's much argument to be had - it's everything.
But I have an extreme fondness for Magical Mystery Tour. After that, Sgt Pepper's.
This is my favorite version not on the actual White Album.
but even still, that's like saying the worst 4 winning lottery tickets
What a weird great film
and then wore out the VHS copy as well.

Ok but thoughts on the Beatalls
I absolutely adore She's leaving home. The chorus may be one of my favorite musical moments of all time.

Oh it's an amazingly put together song, but man, what a downer
However, you should be able to find at least a single song you enjoy because of the amount of musical genres they inhabited at different times.
I actually don't like most Beatles stuff, but Elenor Rigby is a fantastic song despite being a Beatles song.
Just their general oeuvre I am not a fan of.

best albums (for me) are definitely white album, sgt peppers, and then help / abbey road are tied.
