Revolving around Abbey Road I voted for Revolver and Abbey Road... the Beatles (white album) is a close second, but these 2 are the ones that I usually go back to the most.
About Abbey Road, I don't think I have anything to say after Mad Yannis' perfect description; about Revolver, apart from being blown away by the vast majority of the tracks, it's also unbelievable how did they manage to make it sound like that... it was 36 years ago!!! She Said She Said is really THE SONG-OASIS-ALWAYS-TRIED-TO-RIP-OFF-WITHOUT-EVER-SUCCEEDING, while Tomorrow Never Knows is the definitive LSD song and it hasn't grown old, as proved by the success of the '97 Chemical Brothers remix.
Moreover, those pioneering recording techniques would become staples of studio recording until today... let's not forget that the use of Leslie speakers, tape loops, backwards recordings, ADT, 24-tracks recorders and a couple more things were all developed by the Beatles and their studio equipe (George Martin and his team).
Below you can see a foolish fool fooling around Abbey Road
