Looks as though a mob of Beatles fans joined and put Revolver back up to #2. :'(
And that is such a tragedy because...?
Because Pink Floyd kills the Beatles every day of the week. Moreover, I was hoping Dark Side would take over #1. It may not be my overall favorite album musically, but it holds the closest place to my heart, and is exponentially a better and more important album than OK Computer. I love Radiohead, but even their own Kid A is better than OK Computer.
I'm still surprised Revolver is higher than Sgt Peppers and Abbey Road. Before I came onto this site I thought the later two were much more known than Revolver. So putting your own tastes aside for the moment, how did Revolver get onto more charts than both of them? Is something I missed completely with Revolvers legacy?

Basically, it's the first perfect album ever, and maybe the first with a theme, as well.

it's not only this site, acclaimedmusic.net, which i think strongly had the most significant acclaimed chart albums, put Revolver (#2) before Sgt peppers (5#) and abbey R (29#). the White album (14#) comes actually before Abbey R.
personally i don't really like the Beatles (currently my 82# favorite band !) but i find Revolver much better than Sgt Peppers
