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 didn't know there's a general consensus on what their best album is.  They are all classics. Isn't that enough?

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

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

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

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

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

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...

Why has Revolver taken over Sgt. Peppers?
