Here is Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 500 Albums of all time:
www.rollingstone.com...

To demonstrate just how dominant the Beatles were in their time, it is interesting to note that the 4 Beatles albums that were ranked 1-3-5-10 by Rolling Stone Magazine do not include the hit singles that were recorded during the album's recording sessions. For recording dates, see: ourworld.compuserve.com...

Recorded during the Rubber Soul (5) recording sessions (Oct-Nov 1965), "We Can Work It Out" & "Day Tripper" could have been added to the Rubber Soul album.

Recorded during the Revolver (3) recording sessions (Apr-Jun 1966), "Paperback Writer" & "Rain" could have been added to the Revolver album.

Recorded during the Sgt Pepper (1) recording sessions (Nov 1966-Apr 1967), "Penny Lane", "Strawberry Fields" & other songs that had eventually made their appearance in later albums, could have been added to the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album.

Recorded during the White Album (10) recording sessions(Feb-Oct 1968), "Hey Jude", the faster version of "Revolution", arguably "Lady Madonna" & "The Inner Light" & other songs that had eventually made their appearance in later albums, could have been added to the White Album.
