Rubber Soul would have been my number two after Revolver actually.
Not saying there's nothing psychedelic about Sgt. Peppers and the White Album. However, by the point of the later stuff the group had taken on a direction that was rooted in their awareness of their importance and all of the critical comparisons of them to 20th Century composers. Whether one likes the music or not (I overall like it) they were certainly approaching their existence as significantly more than a psych-rock act at that stage and the records show this. Particularly the White Album, which is many different things all over the place. George Harrison was quoted at the time as saying he didn't actually like the album because it had too many different directions at once.
