I love to consider it as side 3 and 4 to an imaginary double album sgt pepper. Considering a couple songs were made for sgt pepper, they wear the uniform, and they were all in the same year
Drew Let It Be is still great. It is just the Pablo Honey of the Beatles. Underwhelming for them, but fantastic for other bands. And their biggest songs on there define the band
The Beatles are WAY more popular today than they were five years after they broke up. I used to get ragged on for playing Beatles records at parties in the 1974-75 era. People would say "Man...Nobody digs to that old Beatles stuff anymore. Get with it! You got any Captain And Tenille? How about K.C. And The Sunshine Band? They're bad man!" 😅

Great video, I was nine years old living in St. Louis County, Missouri when I first heard the Beatles. I'm now 62 years old and my top favorite groups are all from England. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Who, Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones. Without the Beatles I don't think I would have even heard of those groups. Again, thanks for the video.

I think "Past Masters" should be included on all Beatles lists, no collection is complete without it. Most of it is their singles and b-sides, incredible songs that get left out.
My album ranking would be 1 White Album 2 Abby Road 3 Sgt Peeper 4 Rubber soul 5 Revolver 6 Let it be 7 Help 8 A hard days night 9 Magical mystery tour 10 please please me 11 beatles for sale 12 with the beatles 13 yellow submarine
My opinions 13. Yellow Submarine (7/10) It’s only half a Beatles album. Favorite song: Really everything on side one 12. With The Beatles (7.5/10) I love this album, but something to this never sounded right to me and I think that’s because when I was growing up, I would always listen to Meet The Beatles which I actually like better. I am just so used to having I Want To Hold Your Hand as the opening song. And I actually like Hold Me Tight coming after Till There Was You on Meet The Beatles better. Favorite song: All My Loving (Along with It Won’t Be Long, All I’ve Got To Do, Don’t Bother Me, I Wanna Be Your Man, Not A Second Time, and all the cover songs. Least favorite song: Hold Me Tight (along with Little Child) (I still like my least favorite) 11. Please Please Me (8.5/10) What a great debut album. I can’t believe it was recorded in a session of 13 hours. And I really don’t have anything bad to say about this, I just think some songs sound a little bit too raw. Favorite song: Ask Me Why (Along with I Saw Her Standing There, Misery, Anna (Go To Him), Please Please Me, Love Me Do, P.S. I Love You, Baby It’s You, Do You Want To Know A Secret, There’s A Place, Twist And Shout Least favorite song: A Taste Of Honey 10. A Hard Day’s Night (8.75/10) This is a great album. I just ranked it lower just because I may have just listened to the album too much in the past that I got so used to it. But I really like how it’s all Lennon-McCartney album. And we’re actually getting into the good stuff. But they’re all great. Favorite song: Everything except for When I Get Home (which is my least favorite) 09. Beatles For Sale (9.75/10) This I don’t have any problems with. And I enjoy all of the covers. Favorite song: Everything except for Mr. Moonlight and Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby. 08. Let It Be (9.75/10) I think the only thing that would make this album better is including Don’t Let Me Down on it. Other than that, fantastic album. Favorite song: Everything except for Dig It, Maggie Mae, The Long And Winding Road, and For You Blue Now for my next choice is probably going to cause a little controversy. But my top 7 are my favorite albums. 07. Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (10/10) #1 is my favorite along with these top 7 albums. And I always remember discovering the songs that I didn’t know. And I thought that there were parts of Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite and Within You Without You that I thought were weird. But those are my go to songs on the album. Favorite song: All songs 06. Magical Mystery Tour (10/10) What a great sequel to Sgt Pepper. Favorite song: All songs 05. The White Album (10/10) Starting out the top 5 with the big double album. Yes there may be some filler songs, but as a complete experience, I’ve always had a great time listening to it. And my two least favorite songs, Why Don’t We Do It In The Road and Revolution 9, I still do really like those tracks. Favorite song on the first LP: While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Along with Back In The USSR, Dear Prudence, Ob la Di Ob la da, Martha My Dear, I’m So Tired, Blackbird, Piggies, I Will) Least favorite song on the first LP: Why Don’t We Do It In The Road Favorite song on the second LP: Helter Skelter (Along with Birthday, Yer Blues, Mother Nature’s Son, Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey, Revolution, Honey Pie, Savoy Truffle, Cry Baby Cry) Least favorite song on the second LP: Revolution 9 Now this next one is probably a little bit controversial as to why it’s one of my favorites… 04. Help! (11/10) Help is an underrated album. It was the album that got me into music. It was the movie first. And these next ones are great. 03. Rubber Soul (11/10) Now this one and the next one are kind of interchangeable for me. Because they really took time with experimenting with new stuff. And any of these albums in my top 7 can easily be number 1. Favorite song: Everything except for Run For Your Life 02. Revolver (12/10) This album is pure magic. Probably the Beatles’ best psychedelic album. Favorite song: All songs 01. Abbey Road (12/10) This album end the band so perfectly. Favorite song: All songs
My list: 13. Yellow Submarine 12. With The Beatles 11. Please Please Me 10. Beatles For Sale 9. Help 8. Let It Be 7. A Hard Day's Night 6. Magical Mystery Tour 5. White Album 4. Rubber Soul 3. Sgt. Pepper 2. Revolver 1. Abbey Road
Y'all it's my ranking don't kill me 1. The Beatles (Rocky Raccoon, Martha My Dear) 2. Sgt. Peppers (Fixing a Hole, Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite!) 3. Abbey Road (I Want You, You Never Give Me Your Money) 4. Revolver (I'm Only Sleeping, Got to Get You Into My Life) 5. Let It Be (Dig A Pony, Across the Universe) 6. Magical Mystery Tour (Blue Jay Way, Strawberry Fields Forever) 7. Rubber Soul (Nowhere Man, Run For Your Life) 8. Beatles For Sale (No Reply, Rock and Roll Music) 9. A Hard Day's Night (And I Love Her, Things We Said Today) 10. Help! (You Got to Hide Your Love Away, I've Just Seen a Face) 11. With The Beatles (All My Loving, Till There Was You) 12. Please Please Me (Boys, A Taste of Honey) 13. Yellow Submarine (Only A Northern Song, Its All Too Much)
Magical mystery is awesome and I really respect you for putting it as high as you did. I would probably even put it in my top three along with abbey road and the white album. They’re all so awesome
What are you all smoking? The White Album is a dismal, depressing set of songs that Charlie Manson knew and loved. Sexy Sadie, Glass Onion, I'm so Tired, is just an example.
Well, there are some real goodies on the album (While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Blackbird, Sexy Sadie, Helter Skelter, I’m So Tired, Happiness Is A Warn Gun, Julia, etc.) The songs I just listed are very good, with Guitar being possibly George’s best song ever.
Abbey Road is my favorite as well. I love every song on it and none of it feels like filler. The cover of it is simple, but also unquestionably iconic. My favorite thing about this album is the fact that each Beatle gets their chance to shine at some point. The only gripe I have with it is the song "Her Majesty". It's only 20 seconds and it comes after "The End", which seems like the perfect end to the album and their career as a whole. Other than that though, it's a perfect album for me. Great video and great rankings!

Thanks for the shout-out, James! Hey, this band called The Beetles... they're pretty good now, are they? ... I will have to give them a chance. .. Anyway, I love that you've made a video ranking the albums yourself; it would be nice if a lot more fans would do the same.. ... Well, as for my comments on your video there's not much I should say really, because after all it's all about our own subjective opinions, right? One thing I would disagree with is your feeling that WITH THE BEATLES has "no character", or "no OOMPH" ... in my opinion, I think it has a lot of oomph/energy/excitement! I can not understand PLEASE PLEASE ME getting ranked above WTB but again .. that's just my own opinion, though you did explain well why you like PPM as it's all recorded on the spot and in a short one-day session... I enjoyed the whole video, mate - lots of good points throughout! .. PS - nice video area you've got there!
Hi Joe. Thank you so much for watching. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. As always anything Beatles related your opinion is most welcome. Yer I have always enjoyed PPM over with the Beatles for some reason. As much as I love with the Beatles and I do it is one of my least favourites for the Beatles but for any other band it would rank amongst there best so there is no doubt in my mind it is still a brilliant album. Thanks again Joe and take care mate :)
Have to agree with you it does have some good tracks like Old Sock his weakest efforts so far they lack inspiration.Sure the playing is great,i think it's just the material.
Completely agree Sir. 'With the Beatles is my favorite pre Rubber Soul Pot era Beatles LP..A Perfect melodic LP with NO weak songs. No skipping needed, with the 1950's and 60's combined into looking forwards and back. A beautiful UNDERRATED LP. Love it after over 50 years of listening to it!

Funnily enough LOVE 'With the Beatles the most of their pre Rubber Soul LP's- And have since 1963! It is a perfect listen and like the Beatles as a band, greater than the sum of their parts and it has NO weak songs as other Beatles LP's do have. It represents the point of departure from their past both looking backwards with awesome covers and the future, THEIR future! It is one of my top 5 LP's of theirs! *My Top 5 being.#1, Sgt Peppers, #2 Rubber Soul, #3 Magical Mystery Tour, #4 The White Album. #5 'With the Beatles'.* One can argue intellectually over these things but after 50 years of listening to them I judge the LP's by how often I still listen to them. Which is the most honest approach IMHO. I consider 'Abbey Road' a good LP but their most overrated!
13. Yellow submarine 12. Please please me 11. Beatles for sale 10. Help! 9. With the Beatles 8. Let it be 7. A hard days night 6. Magical Mystery Tour 5. White album 4. Rubber soul 3. Sgt peppers lonely hearts club band 2. Abbey road 1. Revolver That's my list
Hello James! I'm one of your newest subscribers. Enjoying watching your videos! I was amazed when you said in the other video that "Woman" was quite possibly your favourite song by John since it is my favourite ever. And now I watched this video in which "The Long and winding road" was proclaimed as your favourite one and I've always considered it to be my no. 1 Beatles' song! ... Yes, it's quite obvious that I'll keep watching your videos. :D Cheers!
1. Rubber soul (to me there really isn't a weak song) 2. Revolver 3. Sgt peppers lonely hearts club band 4. Magical mystery tour 5. Abbey road The rest are just okay
A really enjoyable video. I like your personality a lot =) I also pretty much agree with your ranking here. Let's see... 13. Yellow Submarine 12. With The Beatles 11. Please Please Me 10.

Revolver ( could be #1 as well, I just feel more "abbey roadish" today... ) 01. Abbey Road Yellow Submarine and With The Beatles are records I pretty much never listen to... The rest, however, is GOLD.

For me Abbey Road is the most polished and easiest to listen to from start to finish without the urge to skip any songs. I think if Sgt removed a couple of filler songs and replaced them with Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane (as was intended), then it would be the hands down winner.
@@slothfromthegoonies8201 Sorry all of those are great songs. Sadly many 'Beatles fans' are so conservative. 'Within You without You' is a stand out song and IMHO Georges best. Trippy, mesmerizing, deep and original. I remember them as acid punks! So when 'Shabby Road' and the even duller 'Let it Be' came out I found myself agreeing with John Lennon's assessment of them being 'tired rubbish' saved only by Harrison's two epic Ballads, Johns ripped off ''Come together' and the magic of George Martins brilliant production proving that sometimes you can polish a turd (by Beatles standards of course, for most other artists these disappointments would be inspired masterworks).
@@vladdrakul7851, Within Without You was the most boring moment on Sgt Pepper, and it wasn't original, it was just an average attempt by a westerner at recreating music that can be commonly heard throughout India. Your assessment of Abbey Road is what's conservative, your three favourite songs also happen to be the most commercial. Best moments were the medley on side 2 and She's So Heavy, essentially an early form of death metal. Although tbh on refection I'm mostly a fan of their mid-60's work, with Revolver being the band's true masterpiece, not Sgt Pepper.
@@slothfromthegoonies8201 Utter rubbish. There was nothing like it before and it is an awesome tune (if you are correct give me one GOOD example by someone else; there are none btw). Indeed Sgt Peppers is the LP really loved by black Artists like Jimi Hendrix, and George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic. Indeed there is an entire Reggae LP (really good with some of the best Artists) doing the entire LP. And as for 'Shabby Road', John Called it 'rubbish' and 'the sound of a band falling apart'. I'm with John on that. Sgt Peppers changed the world. Even the Pink Floyd and The Beach boys admitted it was the best LP ever made and it blew their minds. Indeed they were so taken by it the Floyd (see interview on this on U tube) had to stop the car they were in when it came out on the radio and pull over. It changed the world. As for 'Abbey Road' it was beautifully produced but mediocre and no longer cutting edge (the first Beatles LP to disappoint me at the same time that 'Let it be' did too). By their standards weak. There last great LP was 'The White Album', their last move forwards. Come 1969 it was the year Led Zeppelin took over, both musically and in the polls.beating the Beatles, Then there was Woodstock; Hendrix, the Doors, Creedance Clearwater, The Allman Brothers, Sly and the Family Stone, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, etc, etc all doing better more advanced work. I know because I was there:
I’d go with: 13. Yellow Submarine 12. With The Beatles 11. Magical Mystery Tour 10. Beatles for Sale 9. A Hard Day’s Night 8. Please Please me 7. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band 6. Let it Be 5. Help! 4. Revolver 3. The White Album 2. Rubber Soul 1. Abbey Road I love these all and even Magical Mystery Tour has my favourite Beatles song (Strawberry Fields Forever).
While my guitar gently weeps is my favorite beetles song. Blackbird is top 5 or 3 and Here Comes the sun as well. Agree with the list 👍 Very close to mine.
My top 13: 13-Yellow Submarine 12-With the Beatles 11-Beatles for Sale 10-Let it Be 9-Please Please Me 8-A Hard Days Night 7-Magical Mystery Tour 6-White album 5-Help 4-Sgt Pepper 3-Revolver 2-Rubber Soul 1-Abbey Road Thanks for the vid mate loved it after yelling so much you should do one
Hey man, I've been really enjoying your videos lately. Especially the Beatles related ones. Years ago my mum gave me her 3 original Beatles LPs. Please Please Me (third pressing), With The Beatles (second pressing) and Beatles For Sale (first pressing). The PPM one was actually signed by Paul McCartney I think in June or November 1963. My grandma bought the album for my mum who was going to see them live (they were in town at the time, this was in Newcastle) and by some surreal stroke of luck she bumped into them on the way home. Only Paul had time to sign it though, presumably because a crowd had gathered by that point. Unfortunately all three, esp PPM aren't in the best condition but one day when I get a turntable I want to try playing them :).
Rubber Soul and Revolver are my two favourites then Sgt Pepper's and Abbey Road to follow. I also love Magical Mystery Tour, Help! and A Hard Day's Night and of course, ... the 'White Album' ; all great albums !!!
Great job. I've tried to do a similar ranking but tend to get lost in the middle because I can't decide on the order. Maybe I'll give it another shot after having watched your video.
Great list! This is my list: 13. Beatles for Sale. [Best song is Eight Days a Week] 12. Let it Be [Best song is The Long and Winding Road] 11. With the Beatles [Best song is All My Loving] 10. Yellow Submarine [Best song is Hey Bulldog] 9. The Beatles (White Album) [Best song is Happiness is a Warm Gun] 8. Please Please Me [Best song is There's a Place] 7. Rubber Soul [Best song is In My Life] 6. Magical Mystery Tour [Best song is Strawberry Fields Forever] 5. A Hard Days Night [Best song is Can't Buy Me Love] 4. Help [Best song is Ticket to Ride]3. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band [Best Song is A Day in the Life] 2. Abbey Road [Best song is You Never Give me Your Money] 1. Revolver [Best song is ever song, duh]
Hi James. I'm enjoying your videos. I'm not big on MMT. It was originally released (in the UK) as a double EP (I own it). The whole second side wasn't on it. Capitol decided to add those singles and make an album of it instead. The UK followed suit in 1976. It's hard for me to think of it as an album for that reason. And, of course, SFF and PL were planned for Pepper anyway. That said, 'Walrus' is my favourite Beatles track. My list is: 1. A Hard Day's Night 2. Revolver 3. The Beatles 4. Rubber Soul 5. With The Beatles 6. Please Please Me 7. Help! 8. Sgt Pepper 9. Magical Mystery Tour 10. Abbey Road 11. Beatles For Sale 12. Let It Be 13. Yellow Submarine
If you like Yoko or are getting into her stuff then you'll be pleased to know that all of her albums from 1969 to 1985 are being reissued on vinyl. Keep in mind John plays on all of them so you're really not "complete" on John till you get it.
I ranked mine right before watching your video and we are pretty close to one another -- top 3 were identical; next 3 were same but slightly different ranking; our last two were identical; the rest were in there but slightly different ranking with the biggest differences were your 7 (let It Be) which I put as 10-- finally I put Please Please at 8 and you put it at 11 (both a 3 point difference). Good job! Subbed!
My Ranking (all U.K. versions): 1) Revolver (Rain and Paperback Writer replace Love You To and Yellow Submarine) 2) Rubber Soul (Day Tripper and We Can Work it Out replace What Goes On and Think For Yourself) 3) Help 4) Hard Day's Night 5) Beatles for Sale 6) White Album 7) Magical Mystery Tour 8) Sgt Pepper (Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane replace When I'm 64 and Fixing a Hole) 9) Abbey Road 10) Please Please Me 11) With the Beatles 12) Yellow Submarine 13) Let It Be
Here's my least to best Beatles albums: - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) - Abbey Road (1969) - The Beatles (White Album) (1968) - Revolver (1966) - Rubber Soul (1965) - Let It Be... Naked (2003) - Help! (1965) - A Hard Day's Night (1964) - Please Please Me (1963) - Magical Mystery Tour (1967) - With The Beatles (1963) - Beatles For Sale (1964) - Yellow Submarine (1969) Look, I don't dislike the last ones - I love all of them - but as the concept of a album, those I love less than the first ones. The thing is that, they all gave me a separate special feeling, and which one of them is incredibly valuable to me.
Great u did this....I saw the Beatles at age 14! in '64!!!!! in the mania!!!!! And saw them at midnight or so at the KC airport..playing about with their luggage....roadies etc maybe 50 -100 ppl there! Got a curious look from John!!!!! Changed me forever!!! U mention songs like 'I WILL' but don't discuss the deep heart value! The beauty of it.;....its not just a list! Its incredibly sensitive and moving....and 'HERE, THERE, EVERYWHERE!!!" AMAZING...THE BEST EVER POSSIBLE WEDDING reception song.....sorry caps.....get into the feel and heart of it all...John, so cynical..upsets me sometimes, in interviews...as if he didn't really like the Beatles..wanted to quit in '66...but Paul pushed him on.....he seemed to have liked 'ACROSS THE UNIVERSE' and 'HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN" I wish he wasn't so anti-beatle....and hey, mention 'GOD" ! GOOD SHOW THO! tyyyy

Long, Long, Long just does it for me, I can’t even describe it! Love that song, probably my fave, along with While My Guitar 🎸 Gently Weeps. I also like Dear Prudence, the whole damn album, (I barely tolerate Rev #9), is good, but those first 2 I mentioned are my favorite’s.
Great list. The Long And Winding Road might be my all time favourite song too. I know this is taboo to say, but I think the Phil Spector version is way better, the orchestra just makes it feel even better, although the let it be naked version is great too.
Good stuff. Love the white album to death. Literally. But there is an awful lot of crap on there. George Martin didn't understand why they were including such weak songs. But they wanted out of that contract.

I put Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper & Meet the Beatles(US version-special to my heart, 1st album my father gave me with a stereo on XMAS & wore that sucker out) on top. MMT, White, Revolver, Rubber soul in the middle & Yellow Submarine worst & the rest of them anywhere.

Great video James, interesting to compare yours and Joe's lists. Abbey Road is number one for me always, a faultless album. Keep up the good work James, always enjoy your videos!
Thanks mate :) yer can't really argue with anyone's list here as any album for me could be number one and I really liked Joes list. Thanks again and take care
Thanks mate :) pleased you enjoyed it. Yes this was no easy task. Lol :) I would be very interested in seeing you do this as I would love to see what your list would look like compared to mine but I know how difficult it is. Lol :) I can't lie it was Joe who inspired me to do this but yes I do have very high respect for them albums. Even with Phil spectres touch on let it be. Lol :) take care mate

I tried this exercise and, like you, found it very difficult to be critical of any of their LPs. Surprised you included MMT as it was a double EP release at the time. The actual LP is essentially a compilation. FWIW, I had Revolver at the top, Hard Day's Night at #2 and Let It Be at the bottom. Only reason for the latter is because of Spector's over-production. If I want to listen to Let It Be, I pop one of the many bootlegs on to the turntable!

Hi James, This video certainly has "the umph" lol :D. I think the blu-ray hunting video is a fantastic idea, as I never seem to get the good deals on blu-rays/movies and always over-pay. Have a nice evening. Toine
Thanks mate :D haha. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. Haha :) yer I thought it would be fun to do something similar but for movies so some blu Ray hunting videos will be on there way soon. Take care mate :)

13) Yellow Submarine 12) With The Beatles 11) Beatles For Sale 10) Let It Be 9) Please Please Me 8) Hard Day's Night 7) Help! 6) Magical Mystery Tour 5) Rubber Soul 4) White Album 3) Revolver 2) Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 1) Abbey Road To be honest, the last four are completely interchangeable based on the day.
@@antonioiniguez1615 First of all, you haven't listened to the White Album if you think it should be last, it's absolutely outstanding in both quality and quantity. Wonderful album. Secondly, the earlier ones are lower down than most of the later ones simply because of how polished and creatively inspired their later albums were. I absolutely love all the early albums and the only album I'm not a fan of in the entire list is Yellow Submarine because it wasn't a proper album.
Hiii rockboy680, let me tell you that I just loove your videos, you're AMAZING!!! I'm from Spain and I was born in 1998 so we have almost the same age hahaha I'd like you to do (as long as you wish it and feel like it, of course ;) ) a Top 50/30/20/10 Songs of All Time, that'd be AWESOME!!!

There’s no right or wrong with ranking Beatles albums, unless someone says one sucks 😂 Mine is: 1. Sgt Peppers well duh!! It’s so revolutionary to this day. 2.Abbey Road The Neely is so good and the rest of the album is spot on it. 3.White Album Huge album. Some of the best Beatles tracks ever. A couple weaker tracks, but for the most part spot on. 4.Revolver The acid album. It’s fantastic. The Beatles really are at their peak here. Some do their absolute best work. 5.Rubber Soul In my opinion the first ever album with no fat. Just consistently good all the way through. 6. A Hard Days Night OMG the B sides are incredible. The first side is great, but those B sides 😍 7. Please Please Me As you said they did it in 12 hours or so. I love their sound. Very genuine. 8.Let It Be I love all the tracks on here. I just don’t like Phil Spector and The Beatles together. He’s more of a producer for performers. The Beatles are artists. 9.Help! As you said they really started to come out of their shell here. 10.Beatles For Sale It’s a good rocker album. It’s just not the best of the Beatles earlier work. 11. With The Beatles It’s good. I like a lot of the tracks. It’s just very commercial early Beatles for me. 12. Yellow Submarine It’s fun. As you said it’s only half a Beatles album. Only a couple new songs. I do like George Martins fun score though.

"Packed full of so much epicness" - that pretty much sums up the Beatles discography. Not even gonna comment on the ranking cos I don't care haha they are all first. Just nice to hear your opinion. Nice ummph (it's going viral as we speak) lol take care mate
Thanks mate :) yes you really can't rank them. Was just a bit of fun. They are all most certainly number one really. To sum it up in one go they are all brilliant albums. Done :D haha. Take care mate
Magical Mystery Tour is my fav. and its very underrated
takeru miyamoto their most hits definitely
takeru miyamoto it’s not my favorite but I do really love it and it’s very underrated, top 3 on my list.
Same
I love to consider it as side 3 and 4 to an imaginary double album sgt pepper. Considering a couple songs were made for sgt pepper, they wear the uniform, and they were all in the same year
Yes finally someone who gets it
Most bands can only dream of having an album as good as the worst Beatles record.
Very true. Take care
Yeah, ridiculous how great that band was.
B.K. Let it be? Really?
Drew Let It Be is still great. It is just the Pablo Honey of the Beatles. Underwhelming for them, but fantastic for other bands. And their biggest songs on there define the band
Yellow Submarine is pretty bad...
47 years after their breakup and they are still as popular and relevant as ever.
The Beatles are WAY more popular today than they were five years after they broke up. I used to get ragged on for playing Beatles records at parties in the 1974-75 era. People would say "Man...Nobody digs to that old Beatles stuff anymore. Get with it! You got any Captain And Tenille? How about K.C. And The Sunshine Band? They're bad man!" 😅

1. Revolver 2. Rubber Soul 3. Sgt pepper
I'd have abbey road at 1, revolver at 2, Magical Mystery Tour at 3, and rubber soul at 4
Roy Ronson Holy Cow! That’s identical to my list but Rubber Soul is my favorite and Revolver is my second.
I'd have sgt pepper at 1
Revolver at 1 for sure... I may put The White Album at 3 and sgt pepper at 2.
Roy Ronson Agree!!👍🏼🤟🏽
I think their best overall album is revolver. Their greatest and most groundbreaking is sgt. Peppers. And my favorite is the white album.
I live in Liverpool and penny lane is 1 minute away from wear I live
Lucas Stanley lucky !!! 🍀
Great video, I was nine years old living in St. Louis County, Missouri when I first heard the Beatles. I'm now 62 years old and my top favorite groups are all from England. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Who, Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones. Without the Beatles I don't think I would have even heard of those groups. Again, thanks for the video.

Dizzy Miss Lizzy...?
jeff 9000 The end is just part of the “medley” and not a proper song on its own. Only about 30 seconds long😂
Terrence Thomas
It’s around a minute and 40 seconds. I think it fits as a standalone song very well. In the context of the medley it fits even better.

I have to say Revolver is the best album, even though the White album might be tied.
no sgt peppers is way better
no abbey road is the best
sgt. peppers changed the world
I think "Past Masters" should be included on all Beatles lists, no collection is complete without it. Most of it is their singles and b-sides, incredible songs that get left out.
Rain is where it’s at. One of their best non-album tracks IMO
My album ranking would be

5 Revolver
6 Let it be
7 Help
8 A hard days night
9 Magical mystery tour
10 please please me
11 beatles for sale
12 with the beatles
13 yellow submarine
My favourite album (though it doesn't have my favourite song on it) is Rubber Soul
My opinions
13. Yellow Submarine (7/10)
It’s only half a Beatles album.
Favorite song: Really everything on side one
12. With The Beatles (7.5/10)
I love this album, but something to this never sounded right to me and I think that’s because when I was growing up, I would always listen to Meet The Beatles which I actually like better. I am just so used to having I Want To Hold Your Hand as the opening song. And I actually like Hold Me Tight coming after Till There Was You on Meet The Beatles better.
Favorite song: All My Loving (Along with It Won’t Be Long, All I’ve Got To Do, Don’t Bother Me, I Wanna Be Your Man, Not A Second Time, and all the cover songs.
Least favorite song: Hold Me Tight (along with Little Child) (I still like my least favorite)
11. Please Please Me (8.5/10)
What a great debut album. I can’t believe it was recorded in a session of 13 hours. And I really don’t have anything bad to say about this, I just think some songs sound a little bit too raw.
Favorite song: Ask Me Why (Along with I Saw Her Standing There, Misery, Anna (Go To Him), Please Please Me, Love Me Do, P.S. I Love You, Baby It’s You, Do You Want To Know A Secret, There’s A Place, Twist And Shout
Least favorite song: A Taste Of Honey
10. A Hard Day’s Night (8.75/10)
This is a great album. I just ranked it lower just because I may have just listened to the album too much in the past that I got so used to it. But I really like how it’s all Lennon-McCartney album. And we’re actually getting into the good stuff. But they’re all great.
Favorite song: Everything except for When I Get Home (which is my least favorite)
09. Beatles For Sale (9.75/10)
This I don’t have any problems with. And I enjoy all of the covers.
Favorite song: Everything except for Mr. Moonlight and Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby.
08. Let It Be (9.75/10)
I think the only thing that would make this album better is including Don’t Let Me Down on it. Other than that, fantastic album.
Favorite song: Everything except for Dig It, Maggie Mae, The Long And Winding Road, and For You Blue
Now for my next choice is probably going to cause a little controversy. But my top 7 are my favorite albums.
07. Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (10/10)
#1 is my favorite along with these top 7 albums. And I always remember discovering the songs that I didn’t know. And I thought that there were parts of Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite and Within You Without You that I thought were weird. But those are my go to songs on the album.
Favorite song: All songs
06. Magical Mystery Tour (10/10)
What a great sequel to Sgt Pepper.
Favorite song: All songs
05. The White Album (10/10)
Starting out the top 5 with the big double album. Yes there may be some filler songs, but as a complete experience, I’ve always had a great time listening to it. And my two least favorite songs, Why Don’t We Do It In The Road and Revolution 9, I still do really like those tracks.
Favorite song on the first LP: While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Along with Back In The USSR, Dear Prudence, Ob la Di Ob la da, Martha My Dear, I’m So Tired, Blackbird, Piggies, I Will)
Least favorite song on the first LP: Why Don’t We Do It In The Road
Favorite song on the second LP: Helter Skelter (Along with Birthday, Yer Blues, Mother Nature’s Son, Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey, Revolution, Honey Pie, Savoy Truffle, Cry Baby Cry)
Least favorite song on the second LP: Revolution 9
Now this next one is probably a little bit controversial as to why it’s one of my favorites…
04. Help! (11/10)
Help is an underrated album. It was the album that got me into music. It was the movie first. And these next ones are great.
03. Rubber Soul (11/10)
Now this one and the next one are kind of interchangeable for me. Because they really took time with experimenting with new stuff. And any of these albums in my top 7 can easily be number 1.
Favorite song: Everything except for Run For Your Life
02. Revolver (12/10)
This album is pure magic. Probably the Beatles’ best psychedelic album.
Favorite song: All songs
01. Abbey Road (12/10)
This album end the band so perfectly.
Favorite song: All songs
I love how all of your "favourite song"s either like 5 songs, or the entire album. Respect.

13. Yellow Submarine (Only A Northern Song, Its All Too Much)
1: Revolver 2: Rubber Soul 3: Sgt Peppers 4: Help 5: Abbey Road
Magical mystery is awesome and I really respect you for putting it as high as you did. I would probably even put it in my top three along with abbey road and the white album. They’re all so awesome
I think the White Album might be their best
What are you all smoking? The White Album is a dismal, depressing set of songs that Charlie Manson knew and loved. Sexy Sadie, Glass Onion, I'm so Tired, is just an example.
Well, there are some real goodies on the album (While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Blackbird, Sexy Sadie, Helter Skelter, I’m So Tired, Happiness Is A Warn Gun, Julia, etc.) The songs I just listed are very good, with Guitar being possibly George’s best song ever.
I agree
Can you do the two Past Masters albums too
Abbey Road is my favorite as well. I love every song on it and none of it feels like filler. The cover of it is simple, but also unquestionably iconic. My favorite thing about this album is the fact that each Beatle gets their chance to shine at some point. The only gripe I have with it is the song "Her Majesty". It's only 20 seconds and it comes after "The End", which seems like the perfect end to the album and their career as a whole. Other than that though, it's a perfect album for me. Great video and great rankings!

@Michael H. no shit Sherlock
Your favorite Beatles song will change again and again as you get older.
Thanks for the shout-out, James! Hey, this band called The Beetles... they're pretty good now, are they? ... I will have to give them a chance. .. Anyway, I love that you've made a video ranking the albums yourself; it would be nice if a lot more fans would do the same.. ... Well, as for my comments on your video there's not much I should say really, because after all it's all about our own subjective opinions, right? One thing I would disagree with is your feeling that WITH THE BEATLES has "no character", or "no OOMPH" ... in my opinion, I think it has a lot of oomph/energy/excitement! I can not understand PLEASE PLEASE ME getting ranked above WTB but again .. that's just my own opinion, though you did explain well why you like PPM as it's all recorded on the spot and in a short one-day session... I enjoyed the whole video, mate - lots of good points throughout! .. PS - nice video area you've got there!
Hi Joe. Thank you so much for watching. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. As always anything Beatles related your opinion is most welcome. Yer I have always enjoyed PPM over with the Beatles for some reason. As much as I love with the Beatles and I do it is one of my least favourites for the Beatles but for any other band it would rank amongst there best so there is no doubt in my mind it is still a brilliant album. Thanks again Joe and take care mate :)
Have to agree with you it does have some good tracks like Old Sock his weakest efforts so far they lack inspiration.Sure the playing is great,i think it's just the material.
Completely agree Sir. 'With the Beatles is my favorite pre Rubber Soul Pot era Beatles LP..A Perfect melodic LP with NO weak songs. No skipping needed, with the 1950's and 60's combined into looking forwards and back. A beautiful UNDERRATED LP. Love it after over 50 years of listening to it!

Sam Heppener why is help so low
Swap Rubber Soul and Magical Mystery Tour, and also swap a Hard Days Night and Please Me with Beatles for Sale and With The Beatles and it’s my list
Funnily enough LOVE 'With the Beatles the most of their pre Rubber Soul LP's- And have since 1963! It is a perfect listen and like the Beatles as a band, greater than the sum of their parts and it has NO weak songs as other Beatles LP's do have. It represents the point of departure from their past both looking backwards with awesome covers and the future, THEIR future! It is one of my top 5 LP's of theirs! *My Top 5 being.#1, Sgt Peppers, #2 Rubber Soul, #3 Magical Mystery Tour, #4 The White Album. #5 'With the Beatles'.* One can argue intellectually over these things but after 50 years of listening to them I judge the LP's by how often I still listen to them. Which is the most honest approach IMHO. I consider 'Abbey Road' a good LP but their most overrated!

Hello James! I'm one of your newest subscribers. Enjoying watching your videos! I was amazed when you said in the other video that "Woman" was quite possibly your favourite song by John since it is my favourite ever. And now I watched this video in which "The Long and winding road" was proclaimed as your favourite one and I've always considered it to be my no. 1 Beatles' song! ... Yes, it's quite obvious that I'll keep watching your videos. :D Cheers!

Fritha71 White Album?

Hey James! Nice ranking of the Beatles UK albums. I'll have to do a video at some point soon. Take care James!
Thanks mate :) yes I'd be very interested to see what your list would look like :) thanks again mate and take care
For me Abbey Road is the most polished and easiest to listen to from start to finish without the urge to skip any songs. I think if Sgt removed a couple of filler songs and replaced them with Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane (as was intended), then it would be the hands down winner.
@@aoterou, When I'm 64, Lovely Rita, Good Morning Good Morning, Within Without You, could easily make way for Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields.
I'd drop Rita and Leavong Home
@@slothfromthegoonies8201 Sorry all of those are great songs. Sadly many 'Beatles fans' are so conservative. 'Within You without You' is a stand out song and IMHO Georges best. Trippy, mesmerizing, deep and original. I remember them as acid punks! So when 'Shabby Road' and the even duller 'Let it Be' came out I found myself agreeing with John Lennon's assessment of them being 'tired rubbish' saved only by Harrison's two epic Ballads, Johns ripped off ''Come together' and the magic of George Martins brilliant production proving that sometimes you can polish a turd (by Beatles standards of course, for most other artists these disappointments would be inspired masterworks).
@@vladdrakul7851, Within Without You was the most boring moment on Sgt Pepper, and it wasn't original, it was just an average attempt by a westerner at recreating music that can be commonly heard throughout India.
Your assessment of Abbey Road is what's conservative, your three favourite songs also happen to be the most commercial. Best moments were the medley on side 2 and She's So Heavy, essentially an early form of death metal.
Although tbh on refection I'm mostly a fan of their mid-60's work, with Revolver being the band's true masterpiece, not Sgt Pepper.
@@slothfromthegoonies8201 Utter rubbish. There was nothing like it before and it is an awesome tune (if you are correct give me one GOOD example by someone else; there are none btw). Indeed Sgt Peppers is the LP really loved by black Artists like Jimi Hendrix, and George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic. Indeed there is an entire Reggae LP (really good with some of the best Artists) doing the entire LP.
And as for 'Shabby Road', John Called it 'rubbish' and 'the sound of a band falling apart'. I'm with John on that. Sgt Peppers changed the world. Even the Pink Floyd and The Beach boys admitted it was the best LP ever made and it blew their minds. Indeed they were so taken by it the Floyd (see interview on this on U tube) had to stop the car they were in when it came out on the radio and pull over. It changed the world. As for 'Abbey Road' it was beautifully produced but mediocre and no longer cutting edge (the first Beatles LP to disappoint me at the same time that 'Let it be' did too). By their standards weak. There last great LP was 'The White Album', their last move forwards. Come 1969 it was the year Led Zeppelin took over, both musically and in the polls.beating the Beatles, Then there was Woodstock; Hendrix, the Doors, Creedance Clearwater, The Allman Brothers, Sly and the Family Stone, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, etc, etc all doing better more advanced work. I know because I was there:
Great Video, Magical Mystery Tour is My favourite Beatles record and is in my top five albums of all time.

1. White Album
2. Magical Mystery Tour
3. Sgt. Pepper’s
4. Rubber Soul

While my guitar gently weeps is my favorite beetles song. Blackbird is top 5 or 3 and Here Comes the sun as well. Agree with the list 👍 Very close to mine.

8-A Hard Days Night

1-Abbey Road
Thanks for the vid mate loved it after yelling so much you should do one
No worries mate. Pleased you enjoyed the video :) nice list there to. Take care
The fact that everyone has such different rankings (especially of the later works) I think is a testament to just how consistently good every album is
Hey man, I've been really enjoying your videos lately. Especially the Beatles related ones. Years ago my mum gave me her 3 original Beatles LPs. Please Please Me (third pressing), With The Beatles (second pressing) and Beatles For Sale (first pressing). The PPM one was actually signed by Paul McCartney I think in June or November 1963. My grandma bought the album for my mum who was going to see them live (they were in town at the time, this was in Newcastle) and by some surreal stroke of luck she bumped into them on the way home. Only Paul had time to sign it though, presumably because a crowd had gathered by that point. Unfortunately all three, esp PPM aren't in the best condition but one day when I get a turntable I want to try playing them :).
“With the Beatles” is better than “solid” buddy. It is brilliant
OzTwanger my personal favorite
Really enjoyed this video, which attempts a nearly impossible task
Rubber Soul and Revolver are my two favourites then Sgt Pepper's and Abbey Road to follow. I also love Magical Mystery Tour, Help! and A Hard Day's Night and of course, ... the 'White Album' ; all great albums !!!
Great video! I disagree with your rankings; however, you explain yourself very well. It's all subjective in the end of course.
1. Sgt Pepper 2. Revolver 3. Abbey Road for me. Great video all the same. xxx
Great job. I've tried to do a similar ranking but tend to get lost in the middle because I can't decide on the order. Maybe I'll give it another shot after having watched your video.
Great list! This is my list:
13. Beatles for Sale. [Best song is Eight Days a Week]
12. Let it Be [Best song is The Long and Winding Road]
11. With the Beatles [Best song is All My Loving]
10. Yellow Submarine [Best song is Hey Bulldog]
9. The Beatles (White Album) [Best song is Happiness is a Warm Gun]
8. Please Please Me [Best song is There's a Place]
7. Rubber Soul [Best song is In My Life]
6. Magical Mystery Tour [Best song is Strawberry Fields Forever]
5. A Hard Days Night [Best song is Can't Buy Me Love]
4. Help [Best song is Ticket to Ride]3. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band [Best Song is A Day in the Life]
2. Abbey Road [Best song is You Never Give me Your Money]
1. Revolver [Best song is ever song, duh]
Hi James. I'm enjoying your videos. I'm not big on MMT. It was originally released (in the UK) as a double EP (I own it). The whole second side wasn't on it. Capitol decided to add those singles and make an album of it instead. The UK followed suit in 1976. It's hard for me to think of it as an album for that reason. And, of course, SFF and PL were planned for Pepper anyway. That said, 'Walrus' is my favourite Beatles track. My list is:
1. A Hard Day's Night
2. Revolver
3. The Beatles
4. Rubber Soul
5. With The Beatles
6. Please Please Me
7. Help!
8. Sgt Pepper
9. Magical Mystery Tour
10. Abbey Road
11. Beatles For Sale
12. Let It Be
13. Yellow Submarine
5) Hard Day’s Night
4) Sgt. Pepper’s
3) Rubber Soul
2) White Album
1) Revolver
If you like Yoko or are getting into her stuff then you'll be pleased to know that all of her albums from 1969 to 1985 are being reissued on vinyl. Keep in mind John plays on all of them so you're really not "complete" on John till you get it.
5: Rubber soul
4: White Album
3: Abbey road
2: Sgt Peppers lonely hearts club band
1: REVOLVER!! I love every song on the album!!!
I ranked mine right before watching your video and we are pretty close to one another -- top 3 were identical; next 3 were same but slightly different ranking; our last two were identical; the rest were in there but slightly different ranking with the biggest differences were your 7 (let It Be) which I put as 10-- finally I put Please Please at 8 and you put it at 11 (both a 3 point difference). Good job! Subbed!
My Ranking (all U.K. versions):
1) Revolver (Rain and Paperback Writer replace Love You To and Yellow Submarine)
2) Rubber Soul (Day Tripper and We Can Work it Out replace What Goes On and Think For Yourself)
3) Help
4) Hard Day's Night
5) Beatles for Sale
6) White Album
7) Magical Mystery Tour
8) Sgt Pepper (Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane replace When I'm 64 and Fixing a Hole)
9) Abbey Road
10) Please Please Me
11) With the Beatles
12) Yellow Submarine
13) Let It Be
Here's my least to best Beatles albums:
- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)
- Abbey Road (1969)
- The Beatles (White Album) (1968)
- Revolver (1966)
- Rubber Soul (1965)
- Let It Be... Naked (2003)
- Help! (1965)
- A Hard Day's Night (1964)
- Please Please Me (1963)
- Magical Mystery Tour (1967)
- With The Beatles (1963)
- Beatles For Sale (1964)
- Yellow Submarine (1969)
Look, I don't dislike the last ones - I love all of them - but as the concept of a album, those I love less than the first ones. The thing is that, they all gave me a separate special feeling, and which one of them is incredibly valuable to me.
Thanks mate. Good list there. Yer I completely agree. They are all pretty brilliant albums there. No doubt about that. Take care
Great u did this....I saw the Beatles at age 14! in '64!!!!! in the mania!!!!! And saw them at midnight or so at the KC airport..playing about with their luggage....roadies etc maybe 50 -100 ppl there! Got a curious look from John!!!!! Changed me forever!!! U mention songs like 'I WILL' but don't discuss the deep heart value! The beauty of it.;....its not just a list! Its incredibly sensitive and moving....and 'HERE, THERE, EVERYWHERE!!!" AMAZING...THE BEST EVER POSSIBLE WEDDING reception song.....sorry caps.....get into the feel and heart of it all...John, so cynical..upsets me sometimes, in interviews...as if he didn't really like the Beatles..wanted to quit in '66...but Paul pushed him on.....he seemed to have liked 'ACROSS THE UNIVERSE' and 'HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN" I wish he wasn't so anti-beatle....and hey, mention 'GOD" ! GOOD SHOW THO! tyyyy

But the odd thing is that My Fave album of all time is The White Album, but Revolver is a greater artistic statement..
White Album is my personal favorite
Long, Long, Long just does it for me, I can’t even describe it! Love that song, probably my fave, along with While My Guitar 🎸 Gently Weeps. I also like Dear Prudence, the whole damn album, (I barely tolerate Rev #9), is good, but those first 2 I mentioned are my favorite’s.
Revolver at number 5? That’s my favorite
Great list. The Long And Winding Road might be my all time favourite song too. I know this is taboo to say, but I think the Phil Spector version is way better, the orchestra just makes it feel even better, although the let it be naked version is great too.
Good stuff.
Love the white album to death. Literally. But there is an awful lot of crap on there. George Martin didn't understand why they were including such weak songs. But they wanted out of that contract.
I love this guy, he has a great personality

Great video James, interesting to compare yours and Joe's lists. Abbey Road is number one for me always, a faultless album. Keep up the good work James, always enjoy your videos!
Thanks mate :) yer can't really argue with anyone's list here as any album for me could be number one and I really liked Joes list. Thanks again and take care
Good effort. I'm not sure if I would dare do this one but who knows? Glad you placed Let It Be and Rubber Soul higher than Joe :- )
Thanks mate :) pleased you enjoyed it. Yes this was no easy task. Lol :) I would be very interested in seeing you do this as I would love to see what your list would look like compared to mine but I know how difficult it is. Lol :) I can't lie it was Joe who inspired me to do this but yes I do have very high respect for them albums. Even with Phil spectres touch on let it be. Lol :) take care mate

I tried this exercise and, like you, found it very difficult to be critical of any of their LPs. Surprised you included MMT as it was a double EP release at the time. The actual LP is essentially a compilation. FWIW, I had Revolver at the top, Hard Day's Night at #2 and Let It Be at the bottom. Only reason for the latter is because of Spector's over-production. If I want to listen to Let It Be, I pop one of the many bootlegs on to the turntable!
Have you done a video on the American releases. I’m interested in your thoughts on them.

Hi James,
This video certainly has "the umph" lol :D.
I think the blu-ray hunting video is a fantastic idea, as I never seem to get the good deals on blu-rays/movies and always over-pay.
Have a nice evening.
Toine
Thanks mate :D haha. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. Haha :) yer I thought it would be fun to do something similar but for movies so some blu Ray hunting videos will be on there way soon. Take care mate :)

To be honest, the last four are completely interchangeable based on the day.
Morgalucci why white album any higher than last and why are all Early Beatles albums at the bottom
@@antonioiniguez1615 First of all, you haven't listened to the White Album if you think it should be last, it's absolutely outstanding in both quality and quantity. Wonderful album.
Secondly, the earlier ones are lower down than most of the later ones simply because of how polished and creatively inspired their later albums were. I absolutely love all the early albums and the only album I'm not a fan of in the entire list is Yellow Submarine because it wasn't a proper album.
Hiii rockboy680, let me tell you that I just loove your videos, you're AMAZING!!! I'm from Spain and I was born in 1998 so we have almost the same age hahaha I'd like you to do (as long as you wish it and feel like it, of course ;) ) a Top 50/30/20/10 Songs of All Time, that'd be AWESOME!!!

the long and winding road is my least favourite beatles song. It just seems to go on forever
There’s no right or wrong with ranking Beatles albums, unless someone says one sucks 😂
Mine is:
1. Sgt Peppers well duh!! It’s so revolutionary to this day.
2.Abbey Road The Neely is so good and the rest of the album is spot on it.
3.White Album Huge album. Some of the best Beatles tracks ever. A couple weaker tracks, but for the most part spot on.
4.Revolver The acid album. It’s fantastic. The Beatles really are at their peak here. Some do their absolute best work.
5.Rubber Soul In my opinion the first ever album with no fat. Just consistently good all the way through.
6. A Hard Days Night OMG the B sides are incredible. The first side is great, but those B sides 😍
7. Please Please Me As you said they did it in 12 hours or so. I love their sound. Very genuine.
8.Let It Be I love all the tracks on here. I just don’t like Phil Spector and The Beatles together. He’s more of a producer for performers. The Beatles are artists.
9.Help! As you said they really started to come out of their shell here.
10.Beatles For Sale It’s a good rocker album. It’s just not the best of the Beatles earlier work.
11. With The Beatles It’s good. I like a lot of the tracks. It’s just very commercial early Beatles for me.
12. Yellow Submarine It’s fun. As you said it’s only half a Beatles album. Only a couple new songs. I do like George Martins fun score though.

Great review!
My Top 4 Beatles Albums are Magical Mystery Tour, Abbey Road, Yesterday And Today and Hey Jude in my opinion

"Packed full of so much epicness" - that pretty much sums up the Beatles discography. Not even gonna comment on the ranking cos I don't care haha they are all first. Just nice to hear your opinion. Nice ummph (it's going viral as we speak) lol take care mate
Thanks mate :) yes you really can't rank them. Was just a bit of fun. They are all most certainly number one really. To sum it up in one go they are all brilliant albums. Done :D haha. Take care mate
