For me that's a rough one. There isn't one Beatle album that I hate. Assuming that we're talking about the UK albums(those are the ones I own), I would have to say my least favorite is With the Beatles. Their albums where there are a lot of cover songs have always been my least favorite, so it came down to Please Please Me, With the Beatles, and Beatles For Sale. Of those three I liked the originals on PPM, and BFS more. But if I looked at them all tomorrow that could change. For me there is no such thing as a bad Beatles album.

The only thing that saved it was that all of the classical instrumental stuff was George Martin songs and not Beatle songs, so I omitted those. So when you get to the actual Beatle songs you actually have some pretty good stuff. The title track, All You Need is Love, Hey Bulldog, and probably my favorite song on the album - Only a Northern Song. I'm still miffed that they booted that song off of Pepper in favor of Within You Without You. |

All albums have their moments, but this one is more like a bad intermission between the white album and Abbey Road. |

I'm not gonna lie, it definitely doesn't belong on a "best of" list of Beatle albums by any means. I could definitely understand why someone would call it their worst. |

Yellow Submarine is the worst but really just a soundtrack with leftover previously recorded tracks. Besides that probably Beatles For Sale or With The Beatles.

Loved and still love the band, the music, the innovations and originality, the influences put out in the wider arena, the humour, the vibe, quirkiness, personalities...the goddamn FUN.....so very hard to opt for a worst album as there are gems and nuggets on all
SO gonna reluctantly and begrudgingly opt for 'Live at the Hollywood Bowl' before I change my mind.

Two answers...With the Beatles (1963) was their weakest properly realized project, while Yellow Submarine (1969) was weakest in the guise it was released in...The proposed, but never released, ep version of the Yellow Submarine material would have been preferable and featured some strong tracks:
"Only a Northern Song", "Hey Bulldog" and "Across the Universe" on side one, with "All Together Now" and "It's All Too Much" on side two

I guess i would say that Yellow Submarine is the weakest Beatles album, but its still a good album.

This is like asking "what's your least favorite sexual position".....there might be some better ones, but you're still having sex.
I guess Beatles For Sale, maybe.

Even though I always considered it more as a side-project soundtrack, I think Yellow Submarine is officially considered to be a studio album so then my answer is Yellow Submarine. However, I wouldn't consider it a bad album and it still has the classics Hey Bulldog & All You Need Is Love. Even though the latter one was already released on Magical Mystery Tour, another of their soundtracks which I consider to be one of the their best efforts. After Yellow Submarine, I'd say With The Beatles.
