I approached the poll with the question, Which one album do I probably listen to more than any other?  And the answer came back The Beatles . . . .

Ah, but do you listen to it twice as much as any other album since it's a double record release?   :)

this; I could even do without MMT.

Marc

Couldn't pick one.

All 'eras' have their pros and slightly lesser pros.
And, with all albums and singles included, I don't believe in strictly separated periods.
The 'borders' kinda flow into one another.

But, if I felt I had to choose: since my personal 'Best Beatles Song' (In My Life) comes from the middle period, I'd pick that one.

I feel you have to choose.   $:)

It would be easier if Help! was in the middle. But nah, it's still the middle.

Rubber Soul and Revolver are the best Beatles albums, so this one is easy . . .

Probably, but I also like Sgt. Pepper's a lot.

I like all their albums a lot, some are just better than others.

Woops I voted wrong, I accidentally clicked on the middle one.  It is the last one because Abbey Road and the White Album get played more than anything else.

My favorite album from the early period is A Hard Day's Night.  My favorite album from the middle period is Revolver.  My favorite album from the final period is Abbey Road.
