a-hard-days-night-ringo-8Oh, totally agreed! I have every intention of buying Let It Be sometime in the future. I just don't have it yet. And although many fans seem to enjoy Naked more, I want LIB strictly for collection purposes (as you stated).

I'm going to do a new ranking

Without past masters, magical mystery tour, naked, anthology (and also yellow submarine doesn't really fit in this ranking)….

11. With The Beatles
10. Please Please Me
9. Beatles For Sale
8. A Hard Days Night
7. Help!
6. Revolver
5. Let It Be
4. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
3. Rubber Soul
2. White Album
1. Abbey Road

With compilations, alternative album versions….. (I won't include let it be now because I'm going to use naked)

18. With The Beatles
17. Please Please Me
16. Beatles For Sale
15. A Hard Days Night
14. Past Masters, Vol. 1
13. Anthology 1
12. Help!
11. Yellow Submarine
10. Revolver
9. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band
8. Anthology 2
7. Anthology 3
6. Rubber Soul
5. Magical Mystery Tour
4. Let It Be… Naked
3. White Album
2. Past Masters, Vol. 2
1. Abbey Road

Wow Abbey Road is the only album which is on the same place in both rankings

I will never, never buy the argumen that releasing singes FROM an album is "ripping off fans". Giving consumers a chance to buy a 16-song version of Rubber Soul that includes "Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out" is a ripoff?

I admire everybody's efforts on these posts, because I just can't wrap my brain around it.  It's just so much good music, I find it way too hard to decide!  Although I will say, that if someone held a gun to my head and said I HAD to choose my favourite album, it would be Sgt. Pepper. heart

Pretty difficult to determine. I've never really tried to rank the albums (except my favorite album)

13) Yellow Submarine – around 70% of the album was either already released or instrumentals.

12) Beatles For Sale – sorry, folks, I'm not a huge fan of this one.

11) With The Beatles – had some good ones and some mediocre ones.

10) Please Please Me – I either really liked the song or did not like the song at all ("Please Please Me" to "Ask Me Why")

09) A Hard Day's Night – First (and last) full Lennon/McCartney album, had some that were a bit too noisy

08) Let It Be – I think the "Get Back" version is better than the Let It Be version, still a good album.

07) Help! – A good album IMO, had some songs that were questionable though ("Dizzy Miss Lizzy")

06) Rubber Soul – I know many will disagree about the ranking on this, but I still love the album, I just think the 5 others are better.

05) Revolver – Another one which people will disagree with me about. It's a masterpiece, though.

04) The Beatles (White Album) – I think if it was condensed into one album it could have been their best, still great none the less.

03) Magical Mystery Tour – Side 1 was okay, while side 2 was The Beatles at their best.

02) Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band – So ahead of it's time, it's ahead of present time.

01) Abbey Road – The greatest possible way for a band to go out was this album – they went out with a bang.

More impossible answers! Ok:

1- Revolver

2- Abbey Road

3- Sgt Peppers

(this was the easy part)

4- Rubber Soul

5- The Beatles (White album)

6- Magical Mystery Tour

(this was a bit more difficult)

7/8- Let It Be / Help! (interchangeable)

9- A Hard Day's Night

10/11- With The Beatles / Please Please Me (interchangeable)

12- Beatles For Sale

Let's just ignore Yellow Submarine blue-meanie
