It's undeniable the impact The Beatles have had on popular music. Their music is still played and enjoyed some 40 years after their breakup.

This Geeklist lists the studio albums released by the Liverpool band. Please feel free to comment on favorite tracks, album history, or even variations of recordings.

In deference to their origins, I am listing the UK albums, in order of release. Please add any other significant Beatles albums or singles that you feel needs to be discussed.

Enjoy, and I look forward to your comments.

According to several commentators, it's actually an ode to oral sex.

Twist and Shout -- we can love cover versions, can't we? After that, favorites would be I Saw Her Standing There and Please Please Me.

Personal favourites: the two fantastic versions of American R & B songs largely overlooked in their home country - Please Mr Postman & You've Really Got A Hold On Me. Those three voices singing together still sound thrilling after 45 years of fairly constant play.

An album that does little for me is followed by one that I think is incredibly strong all the way through. I'll pick A Hard Day's Night as my fav, probably followed by Any Time at All and Can't Buy Me Love.

This one's a real toughie for fav-picking, because there are such stellar songs for such different moods. You've Got to Hide Your Love Away takes my vote, with apologies to Yesterday and I've Just Seen a Face.

Can anyone confirm?

:cry: Agree with the other posters...this is the hardest to choose. I love Helter Skelter and Guitar Gently Weeps, but after a lot of soul-searching I think I actually have to go with Savoy Truffle and/or Why Don't We Do It In The Road. ARGH! It's a masterpiece, therefore just impossible to pick! :cry:

Double album should get twice as many votes right? No? Well then, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, then Helter Skelter, and that covers disc 1 and disc 2, with Dear Prudence in 3rd.
