While ‘Revolver’ is revolutionary, ‘Sgt Pepper’ will always reign supremeFor 60 years now, Revolver has slowly but surely nudged a certain psychedelic military marching band out of the limelight as The Beatles’ finest LP hour.

Is Revolver really better, or is its elevation as the Fab Four’s ultimate LP gem the result of contrarianism and rejection of Sgt Pepper’s perma-lauded veneration? But there’s a reason why Sgt Pepper’s endures as the ultimate example of the rock and pop album, and a byword for greatness.
