My favorite Beatles songs is basically Abbey Road.
Their best full album, in my opinion.
I love The White Album though. I know it's got more filler, but it has some of my favorite songs. And I just like the scope of the project. It has practically every genre of popular music.
Interesting. I'm not terribly familiar with the White Album as a whole, although there are plenty of familiar songs on it. My top 3 Beatles albums are Abbey Road, Revolver and Sgt Pepper's.
I don't really like their early stuff, although I understand it's importance in the rock/pop cannon.
I have a similarly narrow zone with the Stones.
Revolver is the one I don't really like, tbh. It's too straight ahead "rock-y" for me.
The White Album has While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Sexy Sadie, I'm So Tired, Happiness As A Warm Gun, Blackbird, I Will, Julia, Dear Prudence, and Helter Skelter. Those tracks alone would make for a masterpiece of an album.
As for the early stuff, it's best just to listen to the best 1-2 songs from each album. There is a lot of not-great stuff on there. Covers, cheesy originals, bad recordings, etc.
