I'd say Revolver, not only is it my favorite Beatles album but it sure brought a lot of new things to the table of rock music.

Sgt. Pepper is always been mentioned as a very important influence to prog.
But it's true, Revolver was already groundbreaking, so I'm not so sure anymore.

I love both albums and both were ahead of their time-but Sgt. Peppers became the masterpiece Revolver was hinting at. I felt Revolver was more of just a collections of songs-great songs, of course-

With Sgt. Peppers I felt was the Beatle album I had been waiting for-whether it was a concept album or not, it was at least more cohesive and slick. The whole packaging and production was way beyond anything I had heard before.
