"Best Beatles albums?"

I've always liked The Beatles, but I've never owned any of their albums. I downloaded a few tracks today - "I'm Only Sleeping", and "Taxman", and I already had songs like "Strawberry Fields", "Yellow Submarine" and "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds". So, going on those tracks - what albums should I be buying? Don't say "The Best of The Beatles", because I'm a strong believer that albums should be listened to as a whole, instead of singling out certain songs. I'm thinking "Revolver" and "Sgt Peppers", sound about right?

PS - I can't stand drippy nonsense like "Let It Be" *shudders* I'd rather listen to The Frog Song!

My favourite beatles album has to be THE Best of the Beatles. Has all the Classics and at a reasonable price.

My favourite is the Magical Mystery Tour.

I am the Walrus, Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields.

Released just after Sgt Pepper and was the neat crossover between their early tuneful pop songs and the studio based experimental work on the White Album and Abbey Road.

I've always hated the Beatles...

Revolver...then Abbey Road those last 5 tracks that all merge into each other, just way ahead of its time!

Best are definitely Revolver and the white album. Sgt. Peppers isn't that good.

Did some research on the Beatles recently for a friend of mine, Sgt. Peppers was one of the first albums that was recorded AS an album, so yeah, that and Revolver.

Don't own any... 'apparently' Revolver is the best.

I've heard quite a few. The man is a genius. Far more talented than Leonard Nimoy, who's stuff is crap by comparison.
