A B B E Y R O A D!!! I mean, ASIDE from all of the sweet, sweet songs on it, (Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight--my personal fave!) the cover photo is the best of them all. Plus, it was technically their last album they recorded even though Let It Be came out after it...so there is some sentimental value there. Plus George Martin said it was one of his favorites cos everyone really pulled it together and got along (for the most part) while recording....

Abbey Road
I was a teen at the time .
There was a song - Turn me on Dead man and
rumors of Paul McCartney's death began to circulate in 1969, a time when the strained relationships among the Beatles were becoming public knowledge. Written versions of this story first appeared in college newspapers in the fall of 1969, but the precise origin of the rumor is unknown. The story caught fire with the public when it was broadcast by a radio station in Detroit. Russell Gibb, a disc jockey for WKNR-FM, received a strange phone call from someone who identified himself only as Tom. The caller told Gibb that Paul McCartney had died in 1966 and was then replaced by a lookalike. The Beatles had subsequently left clues on their albums about this deception. The caller claimed that the cover photo of Abbey Road, the Beatles' most recent release at the time, represented a funeral procession with John as the minister, Ringo the undertaker, Paul the corpse, and George the gravedigger. Other Beatles album covers also contained clues, the caller claimed, and a few Beatles songs contained clues about Paul's death—including some that could only be deciphered when the records were played backwards! Gibb related the rumor of Paul's death on the air, which brought a strong reaction from listeners and the story spread rapidly after that.
The rumor became so widespread that Life magazine sent a crew to Scotland to track Paul down and take a photo of him. Paul had taken refuge from the Beatles' legal battles at his farm in Scotland and he was not at all happy to be confronted by reporters. When the crew from Life magazine appeared on his farm, Paul became angry and doused the photographer with a bucket of water as he took pictures. The reporters quickly left and Paul, realizing that the photos would cast him in a negative light, followed after them. In exchange for the film of his outburst, Paul agreed to let the Life crew do an interview. The resulting article, which went into some detail about the supposed clues to Paul's "death", appeared as the cover story for the November 7, 1969, issue.
Thats why.

I love all Beatles music. But I suppose if I really had to choose one album I'd say Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It was the first album I picked up from them, and I think it's great.

Revolver, I love the George Harrison tracks and "Tomorrow Never Knows". I think it's the first album where it became apparent that they were all individuals instead of one mass entity known as the Beatles.

Abbey Road, the progression of the songs is fantastic. How they run like 5 songs into 1 in the middle of the album.

I like them all, but the latter ones are better. I think the White Album might be my favourite though. There is some wired stuff on it, but the Song 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' just blows me away.
One of my favourite tracks of all time. Heaps of other classics on it but that is what sticks out for me.
It is difficult to pick a best single album though.

Rubber Soul.
Have always loved the sound of this one, inspite of the odd use of stereo mix.
