Well, I'll get flamed but i think Sgt. Pepper is a pretty good choice in a field with a *lot* of great music. Musically, it may not be the best of the best, but IMHO it launched the hippies (at least in the popular culture) all by its lonesome, and musically, it affected everyone. The Stones Beggar's Banquet is spoof of it, for example, but any serious group had to go acid to be taken seriously after Sgt Pepper. It set the stage for the whole Rock era.

I find Rubber Soul pretty revolutionary as well, but SPLHCB is probably the album that personally brings me the fondest memories of the era, and i still love to listen to it, while the songs on Dark Side of the Moon just get me depressed reminding me about how another 10 years have slipped away...(but i still really dig the songs and the group! particularly UmmaGumma!!)

Musically, i tend to prefer Zep and Pink Floyd over the Beatles but not everyone out there liked these groups folks, everybody liked/likes the Beatles...

just for the record my choice of the best album ever is Blind Faith
