By far Abby road!!!!
The music range on this album was just incredible. The way the whole B side how one song feeds another...
The song I want you (She's so heavy) It blends rock and several styles of jazz...
Plus they feed on all the conspirasies of Pauls death....

Oh, gosh. Some of these answers are killing me! The Beatles are my all time favorite group. It has been said that Revolver is the best, but not in my opinion. I really have a hard time choosing between Abbey Road and Let It Be. The amount of their growth between their first album and their last (by the way, Abbey Road is the last album they recorded, but Let It Be was the last album released) is immeasurable, and I pretty much love everything in between, but I think Abbey Road captured the breadth of their talent. It contains some of their best rock and roll, but also some of their best ballads and composition work. So my choice would be Abbey Road.

I wish I had something original to say but I am going to go with REVOLVER, which is beginning to emerge from under the shadow of PEPPER.
Musically, REVOLVER a diverse album, ranged from the neo-baroque "Eleanor Rigby" to the acid trip sounds of "Tomorrow Never Knows" to the children's sing-along of "Yellow Submarine."
REVOLVER was the first--and only--Beatles album in which George was allowed three songs, including the coveted opening number' in this case, "Taxman," marked, ironically, by Paul's blistering Indian-influenced guitar solo. George also contributed his first significant Indian song and a remarkably dour rocker.
Paul really hit a songwriting peak here, superior, I think, to his work in the upcoming PEPPER. HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE, which remains and favorite of his and was one of John's favorite, may be the most beautiful love song the boys ever recorded. FOR NO ONE is one of his most poignant (try comparing it to "Friends to Go" on his new one). Gret melodies but everybody expects that from Paul
But John dominates the album with at least two monster records, "Tomorrow Never Knows," thei first truly experimental track they put on vinyl. But to be far to Paul, his experimentation with tape loops helped make this possible; and John did knick the lyric from the so-called Tibetean Book of the Dead.
John's "She Said She Said," which Paul didn't even get a chance to play on, is one of my top ten Beatles tracks, great spooky lyrics, great proto-metal guitars, good drumming, and one of John's quirky time signatures.
Beyond that, there's the guitar player's favorite, "And Your Bird Can Sing."
REVOLVER also benefited from the new recording techniques pioneered by Geoff Emerick [spelling] who became the Beatles' principal sound engineer at this time. In particularly, his new miking techniques allowed him to record Ringo's drums as they had never been recorded before, and well as Paul's bass--although Paul's new Rickenbacher bass helped too. REVOLVER was the first Beatles album with a major "bottom."
I think as a collection of songs it beats PEPPER, whose undeniably great tracks may conceal the fact that some of the material isn't up to the Beatles's best. (Though they're goddam good.) Furthermore, when it rocks, REVOLVERS rocks harder.
Heck, I've been reading rock criticism so long I write like that stuff. Sorry.

Their own favorite was Revolver because they really worked together on it.
My personal favorite is The White Album.
How anyone could say the Beatles suck is beyond me. You may not like them, but they really played their own instruments, wrote their own songs, and recorded them the old fashioned way.

Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - multitrack studio recording, fantasic music. Reflected their transition from sweet innocent pop to rock and roll.

abbey road works for me. the continuous music flowing on and on w/o a stop is a remarkable journey for any band. they mastered their work on that album as far as i am concerned. put on a set of headphones and listen carefully. the album is a work of art.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band because it revolutionized music (it really did!), it has often been named the best or one of the best rock albums of all time and it was one they all worked on together.
