Best: Abbey Road

Abbey Road is definitely my favorite Beatles' album. The first side is mostly great pop and rock gems, while the second half is a beautiful medley (and "Here Comes the Sun"). The combination is incredible, and while it might not be as innovative as some other of their albums, it has the best collection of music, in my opinion.

Best: Sgt. Pepper
Worst: Introducing... The Beatles

For best it's a difficult choice between Revolver (a great and varied collection of songs) and Abbey Road (with a greater flow and therefore more of an album feel), but I went with Revolver.

Worst is easier, I really don't like The White Album. It's all the more frustrating because there are several great songs on there, but there is so much nonsense and rather bad material on there that listening to it from start to finish is an endurance test for me. I never got it's status as an all time classic.

The White Album would be objectively better as a single album. But in many ways, the mess that is The White Album is a big part of the album's appeal. Please, read commentaries and reviews that praise The White Album to understand better what I say.

My favourite is Rubber Soul as it's really the album that marks a step change in not just their discography but changed the face of modern music.
