The red complication has I Feel Fine, Eleanor Rigby, Drive My Car and We Can Work It Out (but Stevie Wonder’s version surpasses it IMO).
The blue comp’s got Hello Goodbye, Here Comes The Sun, With A Little Help, Guitar Gently Weeps, Back In The USSR, Long and Winding Road and Penny Lane.
1967-70 wins it for me. Paul’s stuff had crazy range and harmony, they’re all great songwriters but he was crushing it.

The blue compilation has more complex, interesting songs, but I'm more a fan of their poppy earlier works as I like a good singalong while doing other things.

I'm a later Beatles kinda gal, so 1967-1970, easy.

They're both great, but I listened to Blue (67-70) more often when CDs were still a thing.

I can't pick, but I do feel that both compilations missed some absolute gems that could have swayed me in one direction or another.
Instead, I'll advocate for the fun of the remix compilation that is Love. It's extremely interesting to hear alternate takes (especially the acoustic demo of "While my Guitar Gently Weeps") and separate tracks from different all of the songs that The Beatles ever put to track together cobbled together to make completely new takes on their library. Heck, I even love the trippiness of them using a reversed guitar track from "Sun King" in one of the songs only to realize that the track also included vocals...and they left them in to interesting effect.

Seconded! "Love" is a blast to listen to- there are so many interesting things done with the parts of the songs and you hear things in a whole new way. Highly recommended! |

I had the Blue album in my car's cd player for legit like 18 months at one point...so going with that About 10 years ago, I went on a kick where I listened to The Beatles discography (the properly recognized UK one) in order on my drive to and from work over the course of a couple weeks. It broke music for me, and I spent at least 6 months possibly a full year listening to nothing but The Beatles in my car. I couldn’t get into any other music for a long time after that. And I bought the Blue album on vinyl when I was like 18 because I was way more into the later era Beatles back then but now have a very strong love for pretty much all things Beatles |

I played them so much back in the day, I actually wore out my copies of both compilations. I bought a new pair for myself and bought a copy of each for a girl I met online when I first went to visit her. I then married her so I have two copies of each.
My favourites are the second disc of the Red and the first disc of the Blue but I enjoy the second Blue disc more than the first Red one, so overall I have to go with the Blue.
(I also have to give a mention to Past Masters Volume II as it’s got Rain on it, which is absent from the Red and Blue albums).

My favourite album is Revolver which falls under the red CD, but I listen to the blue 67-70 cd way more in the end.

The thing I always find incredible about The Beatles is they were actually only really active as a band for 10 years, so for them to have the body of work that they do and for it to be as diverse as it is, is quite something. |

Based on the number of songs I actually like on each release, '67-'70 on a count of 3-1.
