I'm back to thinking it is Abbey Road, the remaster is brilliant.

In terms of complex music and ambitious ideas I think you are right but for sheer songwriting brilliance and straightforward pop sensibilities I would say 'Rubber Soul' is the best.

Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt Peppers, but not necessarily in that order.

For me it's Revolver. It has everything on it and each song invents a Band. Tomorrow Never Knows invents the Chemical Brothers. Taxman invents the Jam. Got To Get You Into My Life invents Dexy's Midnight Runners. She Said She Said invents Oasis. Elanor Rigby invents ELO.

Abbey Road is a wonderfully polished album. Full of great ideas and song. Whilst the White Album is arguably their tour de force. Sgt Pepper suffers from over familiarity but any album that contains Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds and A Day in the Life has to be up there.

What does it for me with Revolver is the fact that in just three years they had progressed from singing "She Loves You Yeah Yeah Yeah" to "Tomorrow Never Knows".

That is like One Direction releasing Dark Side of the Moon three years after What Makes You Beautiful.

In the context of when "the early stuff" was released and what was around at the time musically, it was far from sh1te.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer is pretty dark in it's subject matter and the comedy style tune was written by McCartney after producing the The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band album, and is influenced by that style.

If only for it being the start of a huge phenomenon I would go with Please Please Me. Plus “I saw her standing there” is one of the greatest pop songs imo

My dad, who spun tunes at the weekly hop in dublin at the time, would take you to task on that if he were still around to do so.

The likes of love me do and please please me are nothing compared to some of what followed.

As someone who was around at the time I have to agree... those early singles and albums, not to mention EPs were heady days played on the parents stacking record player.

I'm not sure any of their albums survive hindsight... some were churned out at a rate of knots on the hoof... but each is tinged with greatness.

However, if I had to name my favourite track by the fab 4 in their various guises..... I'd probably plump post Beatles for 'Imagine'
