With the release of the highly anticipated remastered mono and stereo Beatles box-sets, there's been a sort of second coming of Beatle-Mania.

Lots of us aspies are highly passionate about music, so I am willing to bet that there are some Beatles fans here.

My current favorite Beatles album is the mono version of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The remasters kick ass!

I like Revolver. Closely followed by Rubber Soul.

The White album for me :thumright: Because it is a muture cluster of individual songs from the individual writers / artists.

Help! is my favourite one, but it has to be the one that's under the Pharlophone label.

While I grew up with the Beatles (one of my first real tattoos was the Yellow Submarine, after fake ones from a cereal box when I was 10), I was just becoming old enough to notice as they were breaking up, so I sort of rediscovered them when I read Vince Bugliosi's Helter Skelter as a teen. So it's the White Album at the top of my list for sheer sentimentality. (Thanks, Chas)

Though all of the post-McCartney work IMO is more mature creatively speaking. William Campbell may look like the original McCartney, but as an artist has far surpassed him.

It's hard to choose, but I have to say Let It Be.
Coming in close behind are Revolver and Abbey Road.

The White Album.
Never has a band made such an eclectic and eccentric album.
Each song is like a sky rocket going off in a different direction...

I'd say revolver. It's not all out hippie s**t, nor is it too poppy-a fine balance.
