Hello! My list is based on the original UK LPs released during their time together (excludes The Oldies But Goldies compilation):
1. Rubber Soul : The transition from a singles group who made nice albums to an album band who put out great singles. They were never cooler.
2. A Hard Day’s Night : Entirely self-penned, brimming with romance and never was the sheer joie de vivre of Beatlemania better captured.
3. Sgt. Pepper ‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band: A pristine time capsule which still unfurls like a Victorian Fairground.
4. Abbey Road : Pulled out all the stops for their last hurrah with a polished slice of genius.
5. Revolver : Fascinating diagonal step into new territory, but pulling in two directions with John & George’s jangly acid vs Paul’s consummate vignettes.
6. The Beatles: Sprawling smorgasbord of contrasting styles. A bizarre patchwork quilt of lunacy and genius, seasoned with nonsense and brilliance.
7. Help !: A game of two halves: side one chock full of melody and angst, their best to date. Diluted by a flipside of mostly filler plus the inescapable “Yesterday “.
8. Beatles For Sale : Weary fabs serve up a jaded offering padded out with (even then) dated cover versions.
9. Please Please Me : Touchingly fresh and zinging with cheek and energy. They were still wet behind the ears.
10. With The Beatles : To a degree replicates its predecessor, but lacks PPM ‘s startling novelty factor.
11. Let It Be : Disappointingly ragged coda, riddled with polished up outtakes and blurred by the fingerprints of Spector and the shadow of Klein.
12. Yellow Submarine : A glorified EP fleshed out by George Martin.

12. With The Beatles
No favorite song on With The Beatles ?
I was going to make an album ranking– I swear I tried– but it’s too hard, I can’t choose between them. Maybe someday.
Love one another.

Offline Okay I hate to say this because now I feel like the most whiney nitpicky person ever but: Beatles For Sale doesn’t exist anymore? 
As for All My Loving : Good choice. I think that’s like #3 on the album for me. Great John guitar.

Offline Beatles For Sale is the best album pre-Rubber Soul in my opinion. A Hard Days Night is a close second.

My favorite one is Sgt. Pepper ,then Abbey Road /Rubber Soul /Revolver (it’s sooooo hard to choose among them )
Maybe I’ll come up with the whole ranking later after going through all the albums…

Same here. I’ve more or less listened to nothing but these 13 (yes, I’m counting YS and MMT) albums in the past year, excepting a few solo albums and a one-time listen-through of O&O, in the past year and I still can’ figure out a proper ranking. 🙂

13. Let It Be
12. Help !
10. Beatles For Sale
5. Rubber Soul
4. Revolver
3. Abbey Road
2. The BEATLES
1. Sgt. Pepper ‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band
It might surprise you that i placed Yellow Submarine so high but when you think about it, the only bad track on the album is All Together Now . Both the Beatles songs and the score are great and i feel the only reason i (and possibly everybody) placed it so low in the past is because of all the annoying things about the release but when you ignore all of those and credit solely based on the quality of the songs, you realize how great it actually is.

Offline That same argument is what puts Let It Be high up on my list
I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

Offline 13. Yellow Submarine (A great A-Side , would have been a great album if not for the George Martin scores on the B-Side. Although ANOTHER All You Need Is Love is not appreciated)
12.A Hard Day’s Night (I might get hate for this, but I just don’t LOVE the style of songs on this album. And I Love Her is great. I’ve grown to really like A Hard Day’s Night , If I Fell and I’ll Cry Instead are two of my favorites. But the overall album lacks)
11.Beatles For Sale (Love pretty much every song on this album, just not as much as others)
10. With The Beatles (Just edges out Beatles For Sale )
9. Let It Be (Across The Universe is probably my favorite Beatles track, The anthology version that is, this version is great though. I really feel like this album could have been great. I,Me,Mine, is a standout but IMO Phil Spector ruined The Long And Winding Road , the naked version is MUCH better. Let It Be has never been a favorite of mine. They have developed as songwriters and the songs themselves are better but it really lacks the feel of other albums. It seems like they are uninterested and aren’t really trying)
8. Rubber Soul (Love the album and it really has some classics on there, no bad songs, just not better than the rest of these albums)
7. Please Please Me ( I really contemplated putting this above Rubber Soul but it’s such a great album. John’s vocals really carry this album. LOVE It. Anna(Go To Him) is one of my favorite Beatle songs and really this whole album is fantastic)
6. Help ! (Really shows the progress the Beatles were making as songwriters. Help , Ticket To Ride and Yesterday and all in my top ten favorites. And The rest of the album is Amazing as well)
5. Magical Mystery Tour (A fantastic album. IMO contains better individual songs than Sgt. Pepper )
4. Sgt. Pepper (A full album experience with some masterpieces on it. Fixing A Hole and Lovely Rita are very fun and underrated. She’s Leaving Home and A Day In The Life are PERFECT)
3. Abbey Road
2. Revolver
1. The White Album

Offline Very interesting ranking there. I am hurt that AHDN is so low, but it’s balanced out by the White Album being on top 
Would love to hear your reasons.

Sorry, I was in class while I was making this list and I had to finish it quick haha. I’ll do my my reasons that I didn’t get to.
3. Abbey Road (Fantastic album with every individual song being great and unique in it’s in own way. The B- Side is amazing as well. Maxwell Silver Hammer and Octopus’s Garden aren’t my favorites however. And I do love the medley, Just not as good as some other B-Sides of The Beatles. It is fantastic.. but not having great individual songs hurt it)
2. Revolver ( A MASTERPIECE of an album. The album flows together very nicely. Eleanor Rigby is Gorgeous. I’m Only Sleeping is one of my favorites. There really isn’t a song on this album that isn’t fantastic. My least favorite would be Dr.Robert.. but it’s still fantastic)
1. The White Album ( So much great music on this album. I’ve heard people say some of the album is filler. I disagree, the album flows extremely well. The variety of music is amazing. Contains masterpieces like WMGGW , Happiness Is A Warm Gun , Long,Long,Long, Helter Skelter , Blackbird , Dear Prudence and so many other that could be considered masterpieces. This album is always my most played. A great opening of a plane to a soft lullaby closing. Revolution 9 is so avant garde. It really is just art and I love it. This album is just perfect)
