I think putting any Beatles albums on a list is completely redundant. Can we just agree that the Beatles work was brilliant and assume most of us love it.

Nope, because, if one looks at the catalog objectively and outside of the legend, one finds that not everything the band did was brilliant. There are a handful of spotty Beatles albums, believe it or not (especially if you include the US releases) and there are a couple in there that have legendary status based purely on rep alone (like Sgt. Peppers, which once you get past the studio trickery that wowed everyone in 1967..is a pretty flimsy concept album at best).
All the great ones dropped a bomb now and then, The Beatles were no exception.
It's hard to follow what was on and what wasn't on U.S. vs. U.K. releases of their early albums...I can't rattle it off the top of my head to you by any means. I think, in the long term, that that did kind of hurt the band. Certain songs, which came to be hidden gems, may not have been on the U.S. releases.
I'm sure this was a typical practice in those days...but, I obviously wasn't alive...and the only real reading I've done during that time period is on the Beatles.
I guess my point is that anyone will most likely have Beatles records on their list...and typically the same ones. Not saying EVERYTHING they did was a masterpiece, but the better ones are likely loved by all.
Dont kick yourself Hogan. Chargers fans will be doing that possibly for years for wimping out on a little rain for their first home playoff win in 13 years. They might be waiting a little longer too.
Here is an album that is so mysterious to why just one and then vanish. Trying to find info on Google is tough. Band is Reacharound with their big hit "Big Chair". Damn good harmonica too. I always like Stabbing Westward. NIN or Ministry style.
