Just like David, I too had no older siblings that played their early
sixty commercial music.  By no means are the Beatles a very talented
group, just monsterestly commercial.  Ringo Starr is perhaps the 
poorest drummer that ever made it in a rock and roll band.
George, any 15 yr old guitar player could play his stuff.
Paul and John are the only ones I have any respect for.  

Late sixties beatle music (white album, Sgt. Peppers, etc), in my opinion,
is there best stuff musicly, but by no means would i call it the BEST.
It was very creative for the time and they were the first to use the
studio the way they did, but that is only because they had the $$$$s
and their name to:

	1) Spend months/years in the studio.
	2) Use the best studios, equipment, and effects.
	3) Have the best engineers.
	4) Do the best drugs (couldn't leave this out).
	
I'm not trying to cut down the Beatles or anything like that, I have 
great respect for what they did. I like most of there music,
but its not the best (musically).  They do have some great
(maybe the best) lyrics and concepts (Is Paul dead ??, etc).

Better albums that the white album: 

Far too many to list !!!!

For that time period there are not too many, but it still is not
the BEST.
