That's hard to say

Like, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper's Abbey Road have all been acclaimed about as much as possible

The White Album is about 1 really solid album worth of material

So maybe Let It Be? I dunno. Help! is also so solid front to back too. So it's probably Help or Let It Be.

edit: God drat The Beatles are so loving good

What's your definition of "underrated"?

Help and Let it Be, while good, are most definitely not as good as any of the others you mention.

Exactly that? The others are all basically flawless and about as acclaimed as it gets, so the only other options are Help! and Let It Be.

I know very little about rush, I know people like them a lot but I wasnt knocking any other drummers. The Beatles were around like 15 years before rush, so like an entire generation of drummers were influenced by Ringo Starr before rush came around. So I think the point still stands.

There weren't too terribly many standout rock drummers in the early sixties. Ringo Starr and Charlie watts, and I guess like mick avory were kinda it except for jazz drummers which played very differently imo. Late 60s there was a glut of good drummers though.

Ringo, like all drummers, gets full credit for simply showing up on time, sober, and not quitting the band within 2 weeks.

Also poo poo like Come Together and The End are actually drumming genius.
