Penny Lane is wonderful on imagery (and trumpet!) and I think Rain is pretty fab lyric-wise (basic summation: It doesn’t matter what the weather is like, you can just choose to not care– it’s all in ya mind). But I agree otherwise– good choices, @Mr. Kite.

Offline Song: It’s very difficult to pick up just one song. Although for different reasons I adore Strawberry Fields Forever and Hey Jude , I think their peak is A Day In The Life , which has all those little thing that make it really unique: the melody, the reverb on vocals, the way the section by Paul fits with the rest, the orchestration, Ringo counting the bars, the alarm clock, the final chord…
Single: Strawberry Fields Forever / Penny Lane wins hands down. Two masterpieces, perfect counterparts of each other. By the way, yesterday I bought this at a street market…
Album: Probably Abbey Road. Other albums have a stronger tracklist intended as collection of songs, but their last recorded album is artistically the best from an overall point of view. More polished and better balanced than Sgt Pepper , more diverse than Revolver .

Offline I think it was Mal Evans counting the bars of in A Day In The Life , wasn’t it?
I would argue that they never peaked. There were times when they trod water for an album or so (With The Beatles , Beatles For Sale , Help !, Magical Mystery Tour , Let It Be ), but apart from those, every album showed some sort of progression from what had preceded it.
