Sgt. Pepper's.

Being There has some amazing songs and some really weak ones.

Well, I guess that's true of that Beatles album, too, but whatever.

This is only the first or second one of these I have had to think about.

I'll lie in wait and see if I can affect the outcome with a late vote.

Ha - I'm doing the same. But then again, "A Day in the Life" alone trumps the entire Wilco discography.

Beatles, my overwhelming sense of meh for Wilco makes me go with Sgt. Peppers.

Battle of the overrated catalog entries from a couple of great bands. Being There has more filler, but also more songs I like than Sgt. Pepper, so give me Wilco.

tough one. Not one of my favorite Beatles, but i'm not sure if that is due to overexposure or not. But even a mid level Beatles album is still pretty awesome.

I went Wilco

I'm not a big fan of Being There, but I really don't like Sgt. Pepper.

And I'm not really convinced it's the better album, 'A Day in the Life' notwithstanding.

When I got all my CDs stolen the first week I was at college I bought 2 Cds to re-start my collection: Sgt. Peppers and Bringing It All Back Home.

I voted Being There.

Wilco. I dig Sgt. Pepper's but...Wilco is more relevant to me right now.
