I have a hard time picking just one, but I think it's Revolver.

Didn't the Beatles say they were going to be more popular than Christianity?
Most are all dead now, aren't they?

Very. 'Course I can hardly blame him. He worked for years in an English motor vehicle administration, giving out drivers' licenses. Last I heard though, he was trying to make a bit of money off his brief association with the band.
Kind of sad though. He just wasn't a very good drummer, but well-liked and it was difficult for the band members to tell him he was fired. If I'm not mistaken, he didn't take it too hard at the time because he didn't think the Beatles would go very far.
BTW, I'm also kind of surprised at the popularity of "Abbey Road" on this bb. Interesting. But it's my least favorite album of theirs. I like it even less than "Magical Mystery Tour." But I'd have thought "Sgt. Peppers" would, as in most other similar questionaires, outdo all others.
"Revolver" is perhaps their least known "post-Dylan" album, but I think their best. "Sgt. Peppers" was sheer genius - especially in Paul's bass work - but I think Yoko was too involved. And "Revolver" really laid the groundwork for that album. (Along with some mind-altering substances.)
Just a bit of useless information stored in an old ex-hippie's head.
Aren't you thinking of Pete Best? Stuart was the bassist.
Who was it that was "supposed" to have had a homosexual affair with Lennon .. Stuart or Best?

I assume that would be Sutcliffe, they spent a lot of time together in art school...

Magical Mystery Tour was left off. It's definitely better than many of those listed although I don't know if many would vote it #1. (I think it came out before Sgt. Pepper's and it has Strawberry Fields and I am the Walrus, among other classics).

It was released after sgt. Pepper's. I think - but not sure - that some of the songs were recorded prior to Pepper's, but MMT was released afterwards. The only Beatles album that was considered a failure, MMT was a continuation of the Beatles "psychedlic" period. Thankfully they left most that nonsense behind and released "The White Album" afterwards (a *great* album but, unfortunately, contains "Revolution #9" - a holdover of the psychedelic influence).
There were also a number of "psychadelic" ripoffs. E.g., the Stones "His Satanic Majesty's Request" - a truly horrible album. But then also Eric Bourdon & the Animals released "Winds of Change" which I still very much enjoy (the bassist on that album - I forget his name at the moment - was truly phenomenal).
However the best of that time was, in my opinion, the Jimmi Hendrix Experience's release of "Are You Experienced?" and "Axis: Bold as Love." Both classics.
