(MMT) - sure, but a personal fave, despite the dubious origins/is it an album definition.
I don't think think it should be included in these type of lists. Otherwise we might as well include other compilations...
...or Singles.

It kind of blows my mind that about half the voters have put
Abbey Road
in their top two. Maybe I'll have to listen to it some more. I never thought there to be much substance there. ("You Never Give Me Your Money" is great though.)
I think their most underrated album is
Beatles For Sale
. The covers are poor but the originals are awesome.
No doubt.
No Reply, I'm a Loser, Baby's in Black, I'll Follow the Sun, Eight Days a Week, and I Don't Want to Spoil the Party are great tracks.
Indeed. I Feel Fine/She's a Woman, the concurrent non-LP single, would make a great addition minus Mr Moonlight and one of the other covers. Every Little Thing is one of the hidden gems in the Fab Four catalog.

Mr. Moonlight is not one of my favorites, either, despite Lennon's exceptional lead vocal; but their takes on Rock and Roll Music, Honey Don't and Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby are outstanding.

I know I'm in the minority, but I like Mr. Moonlight. The Beatles version of Rock and Roll Music is also my favorite, with a close second being Chuck Berry.

It's a comp? I never knew. All songs are hot fresh. No addition of the previous albums' tracks. It does count as it must.

It depends on who you ask. MMT was originally a soundtrack EP with the six tracks from the MMT TV movie. From the US release, they added Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, Hello Goodbye, Baby You're a Rich Man, and All You Need is Love.
When the Beatles catalog was put on CD for the first time, each album used the original UK LP format, except for MMT which copies the US LP version. To Beatles fans such as myself, being born in 1980, this has been generally accepted as a full LP. But I can understand purists who were there at the time who don't consider MMT a true full length album.

Yes, I read that but I still don't understand. To me, album is a collection of newly recorded songs. They included singles - so what? It's a common practice to include singles in the album - to boost sales or what. They charted, yes, but as standalone songs, not as tracks of the album. Thus it's totally an official Beatles long-player.
I'm sure I'm missing other points; for now this is all I've got to say on this issue.

I do agree with you in that I consider it a true Beatles LP. Especially since I think the five tracks fit in well with the six soundtrack songs.
But others don't because it wasn't an LP in the UK, just an EP.
But I would not consider it a compilation since the five tracks that were added on were not featured on any other LP that came prior.

The last bit is what I was trying to say (maybe it didn't come across well). It's not a compilation precisely for that reason.

Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane were not newly recorded. They were recorded a year before the US Magical Mystery Tour album was released and they had been released as singles before the previous album.

Correct. that was a loose definition. But the main point still stands that it's not a compilation. I don't distinguish old Beatles fans and new, it doesn't matter here. Compilation entirely consists of old songs, kind of a track per album deal. to represent different eras etc.

I agree - it's not a compilation. But none of the US versions of Beatles albums were compilations -- or very few of the pre-Pepper Capitol albums were -- and we don't count them.
I don't fault anyone for counting MMT - it was essentially sanctioned by The Beatles themselves when it was part of the 1987 CD collection. But I don't fault anyone for not counting it either since it wasn't issued as an LP by the band the first time around and I think it makes an interesting narrative to have The Beatles follow up Pepper with the White Album since, unlike MMT, White Album is practically the anti-Pepper.

Sth. about Rubber Soul doesn't strike as above standard. Either U.K. or U.S. Many good songs, yet it lacks sth. as the album statement. Didn't catch what yet.
