I guess it's "Yellow Submarine", because I don't even think of it as a Beatles album. And from the rest, "With the Beatles".

... with Abbey Rd coming in a close second.  You don't like Abbey Road? Wow!  Beatles For Sale for me.  Probably because is just sounds like it was thrown together in a few days or that most of the songs sound like they were throwaways from the previous albums. |

Uh, don't froget to add a reason. Well, if ya insist........ Let it Be coz it generally sux. Abbey Rd has some good stuff on it, but I really can't stand Because, Something, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Oh! Darling, or Octopus's Garden. I like Here Comes The Sun much better when it's by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel. The B-side thing is cool, but I got tired of it sooner than most other Beatles stuff. Unlike most other stuff, it seemed to age. So basically.... I still like The End /Her Majesty & am just recently starting to realize the quality of Come Together, but that's about it. |

You like the pure Beatles, the pure rock 'n' roll aspect of them. |

White Album. there's not any particular reason. To me, The White Album seems like a patchwork quilt. Ya got all these seperate, unrelated pieces sewn together to make a whole work. It doesn't flow well to me, but the stuff that I like is really really good. So those few great songs balance it out & keep it off the bottom of the pile... for me anyway. |

i really can't say i don't like one in particular. but i guess that if it would have been me i would have made one single album from the white album. i agree with some things that have been said now and then. it seems they wanted to get rid of songs and so they included all they could there.  anyone has heard "12 bar original"?. it was suposed to be on rubber soul but fortunately it ended up being left out. thanks lord because it's so boring. JMO, of course. |

This is a hard one, because i really like all the 67 on stuff, so I would probably, without really being able to narrow it down, say one the pre "Help" ones, where they were just cranking them out. Some albums were uneven, a few good songs, and a few boring ones. Off the top of my head, the Beatles second album wasn't one of my favorites, JMO of course.. |

Yellow Sub. It's just when I think of Beatles, that album never comes to my mind. It seems very unorganized, the order of the songs. "Hey Bulldog" is good though, IMO.

Ok sports fans, I'm doing my best to catch up with you all...work has had me busier than a one-armed wallpaper hanger lately...so I will join this discussion...ummm about 3 months late...haha.
I am completely amazed at some of the responses so far because many of the albums cited are some of my own personal favs...Revolver, Rubber Soul, Abbey Road...I will agree somewhat with eyesbleed about Let It Be as it has never been one of my favorites...I like Let It Be Naked much better than the original release.
For my LEAST favorite Beatles LP, however, I will agree completely with Flaming Pie and say it would be Yellow Submarine. I know it is supposed to be a soundtrack album for the movie, but I'm not really into move soundtrack records for some reason...except for some of the more recent motion pictures like Last of the Mohicans (did I spell that right?) and Brave Heart. And not to take away from Sir George Martin's efforts, the orchestral scores on Yellow Sub just don't scratch my itch. Some of the songs The Beatles themselves recorded that appear on that album are on other albums so there were only maybe 3 new Beatles tunes introduced with Yellow Sub...another disappointment.
How'd I do Flaming Pie? ;D

Ya... it doesn't surprise me that Yellow Sub came up more than once.
But from my p.o.v. it's got not one, but both of my alltime favorite Harrison songs..... plus Hey Bulldog kicks butt; so by the strength of those 3 tracks alone, I moved this one up a few notches.
Ditto on LIB Naked. I like it better than the original also.
It's still not gettin' played much tho.

My least favorite would have to be "With The Beatles" because it really dosent offer anything that I see as their best at that time "With The Beatles" was their second release in Britain, it had some songs that were on the US "Meet The Beatles" and "The Beatles Second Album". Of course the US versions were less generous in the amount of tracks available. Looking at the track listings at Amazon of "With The Beatles", it's not so bad.. (IMO) Maybe Mal or Neil thought of the title... |

The titles I refer to are the US Releases not the UK and CD version.
I would say Hard Day's Night, because there was so much of the orchestral arrangements of Beatles song. It was more of a soundtrack than a studio album like the UK version has.

Probably because is just sounds like it was thrown together in a few days or that most of the songs sound like they were throwaways from the previous albums.
