it's hard to pin down ONE album, they were all mostly very good. But I'd say Rubber Soul or Revolver. If you're counting Past Masters, PM Vol 2 was great as well.
Though I love the White Album, they were all so separated -- there wasn't as much collaboration, and George Martin said they should have trimmed it down. I tend to agree.

The best album The Beatles never made
We hate to be the ones to tell Noel Gallagher, but the best album The Beatles never made isn’t What’s The Story, it’s Resurrection by The Aerovons – written by a 17 year old genius from St Louis, Missouri! In fact this long forgotten, 1969 psych-pop masterpiece is so close to the sound of The Fab Four, that on first listen, you’ll be convinced you’ve discovered a lost Beatles album.
You haven’t; of course, you’ve merely stumbled across the brilliant debut (and only album) from a Beatles obsessed Missouri four-piece who were lucky enough to secure a contract with EMI, travel to London, meet their heroes and record in Abbey Road with Beatles engineers. Sorry, Noel.
Incredibly, Resurrection remained locked in the EMI vaults for over 30 years and only saw the light of day in 2003. Composed and produced by teenager, Tom Hartman, it’s an astonishing record with several moments that are easily up there with the best of The Beatles. No, really. At times, you’re convinced that the Fabs popped in from Studio Two and knocked out some of these tunes in their lunch hour. (Pop Junkie fact – the title track actually features The Beatles’ Mellotron)
Hearing the opening song, World Of You, for the first time, is like finding a fiver in an old pair of jeans. A haunting anthem for a young man who’s just discovered love, it starts with sad piano and Macca-esque vocals, before being carried skywards by haunting orchestration and finally ending with a mad George Harrison style guitar freak-out! Forget Wonderwall - check this beauty out instead.
The trippy title track is basically a reworking of Across The Universe (Hartman snuck a listen to the tapes of the as-yet unreleased Beatles song while he was in Abbey Road), Say Georgia echoes Oh, Darlin’ and With Her is a cute acoustic ballad in the vein of And I Love Her. There’s more; story song Bessy Goodheart is Maxwell’s Silver Hammer meets Lady Madonna, Everything's Alright is a close cousin of Good Day Sunshine and The Children apes A Day In The Life with its ‘song within a song’ structure.
The Aerovons’ Tom Hartman doesn’t merely wear his influences on his sleeve; he actually dons a Sergeant Pepper Suit and says ‘to hell with it.’ Thankfully, he’s a great songwriter in his own right, so there’s plenty here to enjoy. Fans of classic pop can revel in the beautiful melodies and intricate, playful arrangements. This is a truly Fab record.

Rubber Soul

I guess a pretty obvious answer would be The Beatles 1's CD featuring all their number one hits.

Rubber Soul. Great songs, marks the beginning of their musical experimentation, and first psychedelic rock album cover.
Sgt Pepper and Revolver are also great.

I'd have to go with Beatles For Sale.
