I just bumped a post from my first thread, in which
@heckmanm kindly tabulated my "favorites" based on placement in my song list. It showed Revolver as first, which it was and is. Surprisingly, it had Help! as a clear #2 over Rubber Soul. I thought Rubber Soul had been second. This is just a mathematical calculation, though, and doesn't really reflect fervency of my beliefs on a song, album flow, album mix, and all the little things that make one preferred over another.
It also had three older albums below Yellow Submarine, which is definitely not how I "feel" about those.
I've never done a list, mentally or otherwise, by album,
and I don't want to.
It would just send me into a months-long evaluation process again!
Here's the calculation chart pasted from that post (sorry I lost his pretty formatting):
