Abbey Road.

However,  the other two contenders are so good, and I did not even vote for them in the initial polls. I know, to all the naysayers out there, they are overrated. But this was the band that punched through the mediocrity that was r&r in the early '60s. Blew it up. And rewrote rock history. Abbey Road is a fine album by any measure.
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

I have to kind of figure that no matter what albums made up the final three choices that the proportions will stick to something like 1:5:11.

And we're still not happy if our personal choices didn't make it. Angry

Get him!!!  You'll need some Help when we're done with you buddy. Tongue

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Revolver is my favourite Beatles album.
Abbey Road comes at #3 in my book, just after "The White Album".

Abbey Road - one of the greatest albums in the history of mankind. Side one is a string of hits of unimaginable proportions, and side two is a labyrinth of ideas. White album was lovely, but much too sprawling, and Sgt. Pepper was a tad limited in select areas, even if it was their most concise. Revolver was too primitive for me, and Let it Be was...well, they could've put more effort into it is all I'm saying. But Abbey Road, boy! That's one for the ages. 

Although, for me, pretty much every Beatles album from 1965-1970 is essential. I've changed a lot in the past two years or so. Used to hate them.

This being a prog website, I don't expect A Hard Day's Night to get any votes.... but it is a good album.

Of those Abbey Road before Revolver.  A Hard Day's Rut, not essential.

Of the three, had to go with Abbey Road, with Revolver second. I still think The White Album is the best though! Angry

Side Two of Abbey Road is, in my opinion, one of the best musical listening experiences out there. Whenever I put it on, I am amazed that so much can be packed into a single side of vinyl.

Yep my favourite has been blown out of the the water by Blue Meanies!  So my second fave gets a shot in the arm.
 
Revolver.
