When I was growing up when it came to The Beatles albums it was Sgt. Pepper that was considered their best album. Now it seems people think its Revolver? What is the reason for this turnabout in opinion.

idk, however i still think that Sgt. Pepper's is the best. its my favorite album from The Beatles and, well, just in general. i guess there's just something about it that made fans, musicians, and especially critics to pull toward this album. maybe the lyrics, the production, the songwriting, etc. thats all that I know for now...

Nothing has really changed, wait a couple years and it'll be Abbey Road, then the White Album, and eventually Pepper's again.

I think Revolver is probably the closest to what's being made now in music, especially with all the indie bands around.

Maybe because Revolver is less flowery and hippy dippy & more immediate...for me it'll always be Peppers

Yeah, Revolver's rougher and less polished, which I think is more appealing to the last couple of generations

Probably because Revolver IS better than Sgt. Pepper's......

Because Revolver is timeless where Sgt. Pepper's, although imho almost equally excellent, sounds dated.

I remember a grand scale Dutch music critics poll back in 1987, and Revolver came already out as their best.
But that's only one group of people at one moment in time, I don't think there's a consensus, only trends.

I prefer Revolver.
Less hippy than Pepper. Pepper's very good, but I've heard it so much and I've lost interest a little in their more hippy stuff as I've got older. |

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Personally I don't understand it when americans go on about the Magical Mystery Tour album. The Beatles never made such an album. They made a Magical Mystery Tour film, and a Magical Mystery Tour double EP. The american label made the album so loved by americans, not The Beatles. Approval after the fact is not the same thing at all.

At a guess I'd say that Revolver and Rubber Soul would generally be picked by "experts" whereas Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road appeal more to casual listeners.

In America, we didn't know the difference! Capitol Records usually packaged the US albums different from the UK release. I never even heard "And Your Bird Can Sing", "Doctor Robert" & "I'm Only Sleeping" until I bought the CD version of Revolver
