The results of this poll - like its two campanion polls - are perfectly consistent with the albums' ratings on PA.
 
Could we expect otherwise?

^ It could have been a different story, due to changes in people's opinion, who actually votes, etc.

Anyway, Revolver wins.....

Sgt. Pepper. Historically speaking, I think this album is the most important on the list.

Mystery Tour!!!  That's THE album for me from the Beatles.  That, plus Rubber Soul, The Beatles, Abbey Road and Hard Day's Night ...  Oh, and Sgt. Pepper is really very good too.

All 4 albums represent their most experimental period.
 
The 3 periods (early, middle, late Beatles) shows how music evolved from a naive, somewhat childish approach to music (up to Rubber Soul) over an experimental, "growing up" / teenagerish, maturing period (ending with Magical Mystery Tour) to adult, modern rock.
 
Pepper is the pinnancle of the experimental period showing maturation on many levels (production, composition (A Day in the Life), concept (or attempt at)). And then it is representative of a cultural phenomenon that was flower power, Summer of Love.
 
Pepper for me. But I like the salt of the other albums.(I guess Magical Mystery Tour is the Chili in comparison - too strong for my taste and maybe they went a little over the top with Strawberry Fields Forever - from a production point of view, which wasn't realistic in the long run. Well they did abandon that approach future recordings but I appreciate the attempt.

One more vote for dr. Pepper.

Even though Abbey Road is my favorite overall Beatle album, I realised that some of my top favorite Beatle songs are on Sgt. Pepper: She's Leaving Home, For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite and A Day The Life.
