best album of all time

Yes true, however you should have pictured/referenced "Please, Please Me" as their first album. "Beatlemania With The Beatles" was the first Canadian release but had identical track listing to their second released album titled "With The Beatles" in Britain.even go back to their first Beatlemania album
the significance is that they changed album making
I'll go with "Revolver" for the original question.
True; either way, both excellent. Unfortunate that Sgt. Pepper / Abbey Road tend to completely overshadow the Beatles' earlier (but equally-important) work.

Good album to be sure, and I believe the highest-selling debut LP at the time (ousting Carol King's Tapestry), but while Tapestry is still admired 45 years after its release, Alanis has all but been reduced to a footnote.
If you take the triumvirate of Tommy, Who's Next and Quadrophenia (I believe they were consecutive releases), no group can top that accomplishment.
Hootie and the Blowfish - Cracked Rear View
Didn't realize how much I loved this album until I noticed I had 6 songs from it on my playlist.
Yes I know! Just one album but, we all go through different stages in life and different albums bookmark those stages.

Actually mono sounds better for most Beatles albums. That's how it was originally mastered. I read that they'd all huddle around a single speaker during mastering. For some reason I love the thought of that. I have the mono remaster boxset and it sounds amazing. Back in the 60s lots of engineers treated stereo like a novelty, and it often just hard panned sounds left or right.
Only Abbey Road and the White Album were actual stereo recordings. All the others were not.
Agree with the choices above and would add; Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, and Wish You Were Here.
I can't believe that I forgot one of my all time favourite albums. Hadn't listened to it in years so I guess I forgot.
Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermaid Avenue
When Woody Guthrie died, he had pages and pages of lyrics for hundreds of songs that he never put to music. Bob Dylan (among others) tried to buy the rights to the lyrics from Woody Guthrie's daughter but she wouldn't sell. In the early 90's, she sold some of the lyrics to Billy Bragg and he wrote the music. Did an incredible job.
My friends and I used to sing this song in the pub. (I used to sometimes do the lead, LOL):
