The Best Album of All Time. That’s one hell of a claim.
Even if The Beatles’ eighth studio album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band -- released 50 years ago, May 26, 1967, in the U.K. -- is the musically ground-breaking, hyper influential career high-water mark from The Best Band of All Time, those can still sound like fighting words. But there’s no hyperbole here. There’s widespread consensus: Sgt. Pepper’s has topped its fair share of Greatest Albums of All Time lists

Probably..... if u agree that Obama was the greatest president ever.....Its a bit subjective dontcha know!...../s
I suppose the best test of what is “The best” would be if people are still singing the songs today.
At last week’s “Open Mike” at our local pub the Classic Albums that had songs sung by Millenials were:
1. Moondance (and others) by Van Morrison (Brown-Eyed Girl, Moondance, Stoned Me, Wild night, Domino
2. Fleetwood Mac: Dreams, Say You Love Me
3. Rolling Stones: Angie, Wild Horses, You can’t Always get What You Want
4. Pink Floyd: Wish You Were here, Time
5. Grateful Dead: Fire on the Mountain, Casey Jones, Uncle John’s Band, Ripple
6. The Beatles: Blackbird, In My Life, Something (None of which are from Sgt. Pepper)
Millenials seem to love Classic Rock, if they are into music.
Go Figure.
Actually, the best songs from the Pepper sessions were the two songs that weren’t on the album, ‘Strawberry Fields’ and ‘Penny Lane.’
Greatest “ album of all time “ isn’t a rock album : it’s Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis .
There’s no accounting for taste.
I'd go for the Klemperer Fidelio.

Album is good.
That movie though...not so much.
Rubber Soul and Revolver both.
No offense, but Sgt Peppers was one of my least liked Beatles albums. Abbey Road or Revolver was the best to me.
I’ll go with you on Rumours.
What about “Sgt. Rutter’s Only Darts Club Band” by the Rutles?
Ignoring the politics, as well as the fact the band went downhill fast from there, that album and Talking Heads '77 saved me from disco's eternal monotony.
‘Rubber Soul’ was the ONLY Beatles album in my substantial collection...
Who's Next beats both of them.
You’re exactly right on Kind of Blue. Probably the best album recorded of any genre. The Beatles did some great stuff a d broke some new ground, but there are many better recordings.
“Not even the best album of 1967. That was “The Who Sell Out”
Sell Out was a brilliant concept. Essentially 40 minutes of Pirate Radio. Which at the time were Ships outside British declared waters which could broadcast whatever music they wanted without Government restrictions. The LP featured “Who” created commercials like Rotosound Bass Guitar Strings, Heinz Baked Beans and more, and of course regular Songs such as the great “I Can See for Miles”
Having said that I’ll go with Who’s Next as definitely better than Sgt Pepper and certainly a top ten of all time.
I’d list it third after the other two.
It’s a close call, though.
