Revolver (Beatles album)
Revolver is the seventh studio album by the English rock group the Beatles. It was released on 5 August 1966 in the United Kingdom and three days later in the United States. The record spent 34 weeks on the UK Albums Chart, for seven of which it held the number one spot. Reduced to eleven songs for the North American market, Revolver was the last Beatles album to be subjected to Capitol Records' policy of altering the band's intended running order and content. In America, the album topped the Billboard Top LPs listings for six weeks.

IMHO, it's a better album than Sgt. Pepper. Sgt Pepper is okay, but it's not the big deal that so many people make it out to be.
Never mind - moving to GD.

And no, I don't want to feel old.

But between Revolver and Sgt. Pepper, I'd say much of the most sophisticated and creative music to ever come out of that group is to be found on those two albums.

"For No One" is my favorite McCartney song. The whole album is a keeper.
